Week 9 Tight End Outlooks For Fantasy Football

T.J. Hockenson, Minnesota Vikings - Fantasy Football Outlook

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. That means Hockenson is set to make his season debut this weekend.

He figures to be a significant part of the offense after hauling in 95 receptions for 960 yards and five touchdowns during his first full season with the team last year. There's a chance that Hockenson is limited during his first game back, but he should still be in the TE1 conversation for Week 9.

- Andy Webb., RotoBaller

David Njoku, Cleveland Browns - Fantasy Football Outlook

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's tilt against the Los Angeles Chargers. Njoku was sidelined during Thursday's practice but was able to return on Friday. As a result, this could have simply been a scheduled day off for the tight end as he missed three games earlier in the season with the same injury.

The 28-year-old has enjoyed the two best of games of his season over the past two weeks averaging an excellent 20.4 PPR points in each of them. Fantasy managers should view Njoku as a solid TE1 in all formats facing the Los Angeles Chargers who have allowed the 21st-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

- Andy Smith, RotoBaller

Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons - Fantasy Football Outlook

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is coming off his best fantasy output of the season with four catches on five targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns, and in Week 9 he'll get a Cowboys defense that just allowed the 49ers' George Kittle to post a 6-128-1 line in Week 8.

Since logging a zero-catch performance in Week 4, the 24-year-old has had no less than five targets in the last four games, averaging around 79 yards receiving per game over that time. It feels like he's secured a solid role in this offense now, although, with a 15.95% target share, he's a distant third in the pecking order behind Drake London (26.72%) and Darnell Mooney (22.84%).

Dallas has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to TEs, and while Pitts hasn't yet shed the potential for bust weeks, the former first-round draft pick still ranks as a TE1 in this matchup.

- Jarod Rupp, RotoBaller
