No fantasy football leagues are won because of which players fantasy managers draft in the first, second, or third rounds. Championships are won because of the golden gems drafted in the late rounds -- and I am not talking about kickers. It is easy for fantasy footballers to draft the likes of Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson, […]

The wide receiver position has become almost as important in fantasy football as the running back position since NFL teams throw more than ever these days. Stockpiling a potpourri of premium pass-catchers on your fantasy roster in your dynasty league is a superb strategy to ensure your squad will be a contender this year and […]

Bye weeks are no longer a problem for fantasy footballers. Just injuries, disappointing performances, and a lack of targets. If you are reading this column, your fantasy squad is either in the thick of your league’s playoffs or you just really love my writing style. You probably do not need a tight end if your […]

No more byes, no more problems! The NFL’s bye weeks are over for 2025, so fantasy footballers now only have to worry about their players being injured or benched. That means they should have fewer holes in their lineups, and they should also have more options available on fantasy waiver wires because everyone is playing. […]

Fantasy football managers had a bye week from the bye weeks during Thanksgiving week, but we are back to missing some key players for Week 14. This week is a tough week for tight ends in fantasy football. No, Theo Johnson, the up-and-coming youngster for the New York Giants. No, Hunter Henry, who is on […]

This is not the week to have a turkey for a tight end in your fantasy football lineup. While it is Thanksgiving Week and turkeys are all the rage and take center stage, the fantasy football season is in its most crucial juncture. Many leagues are one-to-two weeks away from their playoffs, so these late-year […]

The Arizona Cardinals’ rushing attack took a severe hit when top tailback James Conner suffered a season-ending foot injury in Week 3. Little did they know that was not the only major injury a major player in their backfield would suffer this season. Second-year man Trey Benson was one of the highest-rated backup running backs […]

The NFL bye weeks keep coming, which puts gray hairs on the heads of fantasy football managers. Four more NFL teams are on bye this week, which will cut into the tight-end talent. Los Angeles Chargers emerging superstar Oronde Gadsden II and Washington longtime standout Zach Ertz are the two most notable tight ends off. […]

There are only two starting tight ends off in Week 11, and one will be sorely missed by fantasy football managers. Indianapolis Colts star rookie Tyler Warren is off, meaning millions of fantasy footballers will need a substitute tight end for their crucial games this week, a game that might have playoff implications in their […]

Another week, another bevy of NFL teams on bye. Kansas City’s Travis Kelce and Dallas’ Jake Ferguson highlight the tight ends who will be off this week, so there will be many fantasy general managers in need of one-week fill-ins at the position. That is not counting Green Bay’s Tucker Kraft, who left Sunday’s game […]

Detroit Lions big-play provider Jameson Williams has been a feast-or-famine player for fantasy footballers in 2025. I thought after Williams signed a multimillion-dollar deal with the Lions in the offseason that it would cement his place in their high-powered offense. That has not been the case, however. While Pro Bowler Amon-Ra St. Brown and superb […]

Halloween week will not be too scary for fantasy football managers at the tight end position. Four NFL teams are on bye this week. Still, fantasy managers will not be affected much at the tight end unless they roster Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert, who has gotten off to a scintillating start (seven TDs) and keeps quiet […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars just had a week off thanks to being on bye. Is it time for fantasy footballers to wave bye-bye to the team’s backup running back? Bhayshul Tuten has shown flashes of talent when he has subbed in for top tailback Travis Etienne Jr. this season. Tuten has 32 carries for 130 yards […]

It did not take long for Los Angeles Chargers tailback Kimani Vidal to go from a fantasy hero to a fantasy zero. After racking up 124 rushing yards and catching a touchdown pass in Week 6 versus the New York Giants, Vidal was held to 20 rushing yards and 15 receiving yards by a staunch […]

The talent pool is going to be a lot shallower in fantasy football leagues this week. Six teams are on bye this upcoming week. Six! The tight end position will be missing several key players, including Detroit’s Sam LaPorta, Las Vegas’ Brock Bowers, Arizona’s Trey McBride, and Seattle’s A.J. Barner. This is probably the worst […]

It seems the Los Angeles Chargers have found their new top tailback. The Chargers backfield was in a serious state of flux heading into their Week 6 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Down their top two tailbacks (Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris), late-round rookie Hassan Haskins and former 6th-round pick Kimani Vidal were set to […]

Only two teams are on bye in the NFL this upcoming week, but both have tight ends that have been fantasy forces this season and/or in past seasons. Buffalo’s Dalton Kincaid and Baltimore’s Mark Andrews will not be on the field this week, so millions of fantasy managers will need to find replacements if they […]

New England’s Hunter Henry and Seattle’s A.J. Barner might not be available on the waiver wire in your fantasy football league anymore, but there are still some solid tight ends that you could pick up and plug into your lineup this week. Only two teams are on bye this week, so fantasy managers will have […]

Oh, no. They are here. The byes are here! The first week of NFL teams being off due to their bye week is upon us. At tight end, the biggest player missing is Green Bay’s Tucker Kraft, who has been one of the best fantasy players at the position during the first month. Atlanta’s Kyle […]

The byes do not start until Week 5 in the NFL this year, so we have another full slate of games this weekend, and another full slate of tight ends playing. The tight end position in fantasy football is in flux. Kansas City’s Travis Kelce is one step closer to either being the next Joe […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs looked primed to have another solid season heading into 2025. He racked up 1,574 receiving yards over his first two years in the NFL, and with veteran Daniel Jones throwing to him instead of scattershot youngster Anthony Richardson, many probably thought Downs could break the 900-yard mark and have […]

Everyone is playing again this week, except for the injured and the benched. That means there are plenty of prospects to pick up on […]

One week down, three tight ends down. It did not take long for the injury bug to bite some tight ends on the backside. San Francisco’s George Kittle, Denver’s Evan Engram, and Las Vegas’ Brock Bowers all got banged up. Now, fantasy football managers are scrambling like Justin Fields to find tight ends. That is […]

Welcome back everyone to our tight ends fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 1 of the 2025 season! You do not have to wait for the NFL season to start to add players to your roster via the waiver wire – at least in some leagues. Maybe you are bummed you did not get […]

It is not hard to draft, buy or protect Saquon Barkley, Josh Allen, and/or Justin Jefferson and watch them lead you to a fantasy football title. You will not win the GM of the Year award in your fantasy league because you did that. What is difficult is finding the late-round sleepers that can round […]

Drafting the right tight end might not win you a fantasy football title, but drafting the wrong one could cost you one. Sure, tight ends are not as important as running backs, receivers, or quarterbacks in fantasy football. Never have been, never will, unless you are in a rare league that uses three tight ends […]

Get your head off your MyPillows (that you got at your local discount store)! The fantasy football season is around the bend, and there are plenty of NFL players you do not want to sleep on! It is easy to win fantasy football titles when Saquon Barkley and Bijan Robinson are your running backs, Justin […]

NFL training camps are open for business. Your fantasy football team’s scouting department better be open, too. Fantasy football leagues are difficult enough to navigate and win. Then on top of it, if you are in a dynasty league, then not only are you worried about winning your league this year, you are worried about […]

The 2025 NFL Draft made football fans and fantasy footballers think about tight ends again. With two taken in the first round and another three in the second round, the fantasy future looks bright again at the position. Tight ends are always undervalued in fantasy football. While they do not provide the fantasy bang receivers, […]

It isn’t easy being a wide receiver in today’s NFL. The coverages have become more complex. Receivers must fight with other gifted receivers and talented tight ends for targets and touches. So much depends on the quarterback who is throwing to you and the offense you are a part of, too. Simply put, being a […]
