As we inch closer to the end in fantasy football leagues, getting your roster ready for the final playoff push is paramount. Arizona’s Trey McBride and Washington’s Logan Thomas are the only starting tight ends on bye this week, so most fantasy managers will not be scouring the waiver wire this week for help at […]

Mecole Hardman Jr. has had an interesting season, but not a very productive one for fantasy footballers. Hardman Jr. signed with the New York Jets in the offseason to be part of a revamped receiving corps that was supposed to be buoyed by Aaron Rodgers’ pinpoint passes. One drive into the season, however, Rodgers’ tore […]

The retail shopping world just had “Black Friday” to contend with last week. The fantasy football world will have to contend with “Black Sunday” this week with six NFL teams on bye. Yes, after a one-week reprieve for Thanksgiving, the bye weeks are back, baby! Back in full force with a half-dozen teams taking the […]

This week is all about thanks and giving. Fantasy football managers will certainly be thankful if their league’s waiver wire can give them a tight end to replace Mark Andrews. Week 11 was a tragic week for fantasy managers who rostered Andrews, the second-best tight end in fantasy football behind Kansas City’s Travis Kelce. Baltimore’s […]

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett had the best year of his career in 2022, but the sledding has been tougher for him (and his fantasy football managers) in 2023. Los Angeles’ top tight end is averaging a career-low eight yards per catch and has only averaged 20 receiving yards per game in eight […]

New Orleans’ Taysom Hill was the top tight end on fantasy football waiver wires for three straight weeks/columns. Now that fantasy managers have wised up and grabbed him, it is finally time to start talking about other available tight ends that could help your fantasy squad. Week 11 has four more teams on bye, so […]

Cincinnati signal caller Joe Burrow is finally 100 percent after battling a cranky calf injury early in the season. Unfortunately, his receiving corps is not at 100 percent. Top target Ja’Marr Chase is batting a bad back and is questionable to play this Sunday against the Houston Texans. No. 2 WR Tee Higgins was fine […]

Week 10 is going to leave fantasy footballers without the best tight end in fantasy football. Thankfully, there are a potpourri of long-term and short-term options at the position on the fantasy waiver wire. Kansas City’s Travis Kelce will have a week to jet set with girlfriend Taylor Swift. Maybe he can take her to […]

Millions of fantasy footballers and Taylor Swift fans are going to be disappointed this week. That is because Kansas City’s Travis Kelce, the hands-down best tight end in fantasy football, is on bye. He will be racking up frequent-flyer miles with T-Sizzle instead of racking up receptions for his fantasy managers. Replacing him is an […]

Week 8 was easy for fantasy football managers. Week 9 will not be as easy, especially at the tight end position. The bye weeks are back in full force. Fantasy footballers will be without San Francisco’s George Kittle, Detroit’s Sam LaPorta, and Jacksonville’s Evan Engram since they are all off. New York’s Darren Waller injured […]

The New England Patriots are not normally a one-stop shop for fantasy football managers looking for wide receiver help. The Pats are ranked 21st in passing offense, quarterback Mac Jones has been on the verge of getting yanked off the field in many games, and the team has no pass catchers like Randy Moss, Wes […]

Welcome back to our fantasy football tight end waiver wire pickups for Week 8. After a couple of weeks where bye weeks were ruining the rosters of fantasy footballers, we now get a surprise reprieve. I am not sure why the NFL schedule makers did this, but no teams are on bye this week. Maybe […]

Jimmy Garoppolo has not done anybody any fantasy football favors this season. In fact, the best favor he could do for the fantasy managers who have rostered him is to miss a week so they can use somebody else at quarterback. Garoppolo has done the unthinkable – make Las Vegas Raiders fans wish Derek Carr […]

For a five-game period in 2019, Tyler Higbee played like one of the best tight ends in the NFL and parlayed that hot streak into a multimillion-dollar contract. Fantasy football managers have been waiting four years for him to play like again, but I think it is finally time to give up on that. Higbee […]

Week 7 is going to lay a hurtin’ on millions of fantasy football rosters. A half-dozen NFL teams are on bye this week, slashing the number of helpful players on the waiver wire just when fantasy footballers need help the most. The best tight end out of action this week is Houston’s Dalton Schultz, who […]

The Week 6 bye is much kinder to fantasy footballers than the Week 5 bye was. Pittsburgh’s Pat Freiermuth and Green Bay’s Luke Musgrave are the only two tight ends on bye this week, so most fantasy football managers will not have to pick up a one-week stopgap at the position. Freiermuth has a hamstring […]

The first week of bye weeks are here! If you are a fantasy football general manager, this is when you are put to the test. If a myriad of injuries did not already test the depth of talent on your fantasy roster, now throw in teams being on bye! Four teams are off in Week […]

Week 3 might have been great for Travis Kelce, but it was not great for most tight ends. While Kelce was scoring touchdowns and having Taylor Swift cheer for him in the press box, other tight ends were having problems getting out of the blocks. The position is a little light on talent at the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Zach Ertz has proven throughout his amazing career that he can catch passes from anyone. It does not matter if it is a Pro Bowl player or Joshua Dobbs tossing him the rock. Ertz will make the catches when he is aimed […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No Aaron Rodgers, no problem. No Robert Tonyan, no problem. The Jordan Love Era has arrived, and so has the Musgrave Era. The rookie tight end has 11 receptions for 124 yards over his first three games in the NFL. His learning […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jake Fergusonis not making Cowboys fans and fantasy managers forget about the days of Jason Witten, but he somehow received as many targets as CeeDee Lamb against Arizona. You could blame that on bad play-calling or great defense.   No other player in […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After a promising start to the season with 41 yards and a TD on five catches in Week 1, Hayden Hurst has failed to produce relevant fantasy production over Carolina's last two games. While filling in for Bryce Young in Week 3, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While tight-end teammate Donald Parham Jr. catches the touchdowns, Gerald Everett does the dirty work within the other 99 yards on the field. Everett has hauled in 11 of 12 targets for 98 yards this year and should get a higher target […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Normally when a starting signal-caller goes down, it does not bode well for the fantasy values of his pass-catchers. However, that might not be true for Saints tight end Juwan Johnson, since he has had success with Jameis Winston in the past. […]

The running back pool in fantasy football is getting thinner than someone who cuts out carbs. With Saquon Barkley, Austin Ekeler, Nick Chubb, J.K. Dobbins and Aaron Jones all suffering injuries, it has never been more important than to make the right decisions with the running backs on your fantasy roster. That is why one […]

This may be a week where millions of fantasy football managers try to upgrade the tight end position on their teams. Week 2 did a job on many of fantasy football’s top tight ends. Washington’s Logan Thomas was concussed. San Francisco’s George Kittle was a non-factor again. Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert averaged 3.7 yards per catch […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Do not forget about picking up Hayden Hurst in Week 3 with his plus matchup against the Seahawks. He looked good in his first outing as a Panther when he posted a 5-41-1 line. The 30-year-old followed up his Week 1 performance […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Zach Ertz might be on the tail end of his storied career, but the longtime fantasy stalwart is still delivering numbers for his fantasy managers. He has been better than most fantasy pundits thought he would be this year, thanks in part […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Juwan Johnson has proven that he can score touchdowns no matter who is throwing him the ball. Johnson found the end zone last year with Andy Dalton, Jameis Winston, and Taysom Hill taking turns tossing passes his way.   Week 2 Waiver […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It looks like Green Bay might make the right decision to move forward with Jordan Love as its franchise quarterback, and they also seemingly made the right decision in drafting Luke Musgrave to be their tight end for the present and future.
