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 […]

Welcome back to our fantasy football tight ends waiver wire pickups for Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season. Let’s enjoy these no bye weeks while we still can, fantasy footballers! 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 […]

It is never too early to prepare for the upcoming fantasy football season. Fantasy football revolves around running backs and receivers, especially in leagues where each team only starts one signal-caller and not two. You still need a decent quarterback to challenge for a league championship, though. And thanks to injuries and the lack of […]

Fantasy football can be so much more than just touchdowns, yards, targets, receptions, and rushes. To make things even more interesting, you can be in a fantasy league where both sides of the ball are represented. IDP (Individual Defense Player) fantasy football leagues have gained in popularity over the past several seasons. Now, fantasy footballers […]

2024 was not a bad year for tight ends in the NFL and fantasy football. Three tight ends (San Francisco’s George Kittle, Las Vegas’ Brock Bowers, and Arizona’s Trey McBride) all had over 1,100 receiving yards. That had not happened since 2018. There was not even one 1,100-yard tight end in 2023, let alone three. […]

You can never have enough running backs in fantasy football, just like you can never have enough lobster tails at your favorite seafood establishment. While the NFL has transformed into a pass-first league, and the fantasy values of quarterbacks and wide receivers have increased over the past decade, running backs still rule the fantasy roost. […]

The 2024 NFL regular season is over, and so are all the fantasy football seasons tied to it, but that does not mean the fun stops if you are in a dynasty league. The way to win dynasty fantasy leagues is to build around a core of players you can hold onto for several seasons. […]

The NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles are one of the favorites to win Super Bowl LIX in February. Only the top seeds in each conference, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions, are thought of as better bets to win it all. Philadelphia has a lot of things going in its favor, though. The […]

Fantasy footballers know Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins has never met an injury he could not have, and 2025 has been no exception. The only positive about his injuries this year is that they have not been of the season-ending variety. Dobbins missed four games earlier in the season with a knee injury, […]

Fantasy footballers probably thought Gus Edwards would be the Los Angeles Chargers’ top tailback in 2024. Instead, he is not on a roster in half of the fantasy leagues in the world right now. After setting career-highs with 810 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns in 2023 with the Baltimore Ravens, Edwards took his talents to […]

This is championship week, people! So, if you are reading this, congratulations of sorts are in order. It all comes down to this in the majority of fantasy football leagues around the country and around the world. You drafted well, you picked up the right guys on the waiver wire, and you made all the […]

Fantasy footballers everywhere are battling it out in the playoffs in their leagues this week, so they better know which of their running backs are healthy and which ones are hurt ahead of Week 16. A couple of notable names in backfields were injured in Week 15, so you might need to scour your league’s […]

New Orleans wide receiver Chris Olave’s concussions have concussed the playoff hopes of many of the fantasy football managers who rostered him this year. The Saints speedster and undisputed WR1 has suffered two concussions this season, which ups his “official” number of career concussions to four. Olave is only in his third NFL season, so […]

This week is the opening week of the playoffs in most fantasy football leagues. Your fantasy team might be one win away from claiming a title and the prizes and acclaim that goes with it. So you better have a decent tight end in your lineup, that’s for sure. Most fantasy managers are probably set […]

In most fantasy football leagues, this is the final week of the regular season. So if this is the week you need to win to qualify for the playoffs in your league, you better not make a mistake filling out your lineup. The tight end position has been tricky for fantasy footballers this season. Some […]

Say “Bye, bye, bye!” to the NFL’s byes! Sorry to sound like N’Sync, but fantasy football managers have to be happier than a greyhound chasing a rabbit that there are no more NFL teams on bye for the remainder of the season. Injuries have already ravaged enough fantasy rosters as we head down the homestretch. […]

This is not the week fantasy footballers need a half-dozen NFL teams on bye. With the playoffs starting in most standard fantasy leagues within the next week or two, being severely shorthanded is the last thing fantasy managers want. The good news at tight end is that no major players at the position other than […]

2024 was poised to be a superb season for Las Vegas running back Zamir White. Too bad a broken-down body has prevented him from having a breakout year. White was slated to be the Raiders’ top tailback entering the 2024 campaign. The door was wide open for him after the departure of Josh Jacobs to […]

Two great things about Thanksgiving week – plenty of turkey and no NFL teams on bye! Zero tight ends will be missing in action this week because their teams are off, so that makes life easier for fantasy footballers heading into the crucial part of their schedules where playoff berths and division titles are clinched. […]
