Tight Ends Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks - Outlooks and Trends For Week 5

The tight-end position has always been bad. Fantasy football managers have never had many options. It’s always lacked depth. However, it’s never been this bad. This year, at least through four weeks, is the worst the position has ever been. Through four weeks, there are just two tight ends averaging more than 8.5 half-PPR points. […]

Week 1 never disappoints in terms of providing outcomes we never saw coming. So, in that sense, Week 1 always disappoints. Amon-Ra St. Brown was invisible. Jameson Williams broke out.

Tight Ends to Target in 2024 Fantasy Football Redraft Leagues - Part II

The tight end position has been a wasteland for the past few years. We had our top-three guys and then it seemed as though everyone else was the same. TE6 was the same as TE18. While that's not entirely true, in terms of impacting the wins and loss column, it's probably not much of an […]
