Hooray for C.J.: The Tight End Report – Week 8

National Tight Ends Day has been and gone and provided us with some fun and games last week. There were big games for players we had all but forgotten about. TEs who we hoped would come good came good. And a lot of touchdowns were scored. Sadly, the deeds of last week have pushed some of our favorite streamers past the 50% ownership, making them…...

Bye Week Hell: The Tight End Report – Week 7

We are entering what some people are calling The Mother of All Bye Weeks. Okay, these people are pretty much me, myself, and I. But the six teams sitting out this week take with them four of the top 15 fantasy scoring tight ends through six weeks. TE is a volatile enough spot without so much production sitting on couches at home, taking in the…...

Everybody Ertz: The Tight End Report – Week 6

Week 5 was another intriguing week for NFL tight ends. We saw the first true signs of the superstar Kyle Pitts could be. Dawson Knox continued his epic breakout season. While we also saw Ross Dwelley … well, a bit of him. But whatever we saw, you can’t deny it wasn’t fascinating viewing. Week 6 sees the beginning of those eternal friends of the fantasy…...

Will Dawson Knox be Gold Again? The Tight End Report – Week 5

All I can say is that Week 4 was a wonderful week for tight ends. Just incredible. Even without Rob Gronkowski playing, and George Kittle continuing to do nothing, TEs were all over the scoresheet last week. Thirteen TEs scored at least 10.0 PPR points in Week 4. Fourteen found the end zone, with three players liking it so much they did it twice. One…...

It’s Dawson’s Week: The Tight End Report – Week 4

We have reached what we used to be able to say was the quarter pole of the season. So once again, massive thanks for the 17th game, NFL. Still, Week 4 lies ahead of us. The tight-end landscape is developing into the high level of reliability we have come to expect. So let’s look back at the movers and shakers from last week. Then, I…...

Jack Doyle SZN Already? The Tight End Report – Week 3

The season is already whipping by at pace, as we enter Week 3. Some of you may be quite happy with how your fantasy season is going. Some of you may look back on your draft night as a colossal waste of your increasingly dwindling time on this mortal coil. I can’t speak for everyone, of course. Part of your joy (or despair) may be…...

Let Jared Cook? The Tight End Report – Week 2

So how was your Week 1? You off to a flier, or already staring down the barrel? No matter! The fantasy football season, like its “real world” counterpart, is a marathon, not a sprint. There are plenty of twists and turns ahead. Here, for all your viewing pleasure, are all the key stats you need to know from the tight end position following the first…...

A Tight End to Target in Each of The First 10 Rounds of Your Redraft Leagues

If you are like me, you would have multiple tight end spots in your standard redraft teams. Most people are not like me, however, and would almost happily kiss goodbye to the most volatile spot in all of the fantasy sports. Most leagues insist on starting at least one, however, and that should suffice for now. When to target a TE in your drafts can…...

These 3 Tight Ends Are Seeing Their Prices Fall, But Have They Become Value Picks Yet?

I recently wrote about five tight ends who were experiencing an uptick in popularity with drafters over at the FFPC. I won’t rehash my findings for you here. What with time being in short supply as we continue on our journey through life. But I would suggest having a glance at it. In the interest of balance, I thought it only fair to have a…...

On the Rise: 5 Tight Ends With Rising ADPs

Most of the current talk in fantasy circles is of the Scott Fish Bowl, the drafting of which unofficially ushers in the new fantasy season. But other drafts are still taking place, especially over at the FFPC, and have been for some time. With this in mind, I thought it might be fun to take a look at a few players at my favorite position…...

Five Tight Ends to Target in the Late Rounds of Best Ball Drafts

When it comes to tight ends in fantasy football, the accepted wisdom is that you either take them early in drafts, or you take them late. In 2021, taking one early would likely mean spending a first-round pick on Travis Kelce, or landing George Kittle in the second. Or perhaps you really keep your powder dry and wait until round three to land Darren Waller…....

Pounding the Table: RotoViz’s Favorite Under the Radar Rookies

If the tales of various former scouts and front office executives are to be believed, every year during the NFL Draft there will come a time when an evaluator will vigorously champion the cause for a player he dearly wants the team to draft. Often these incidents occur late in the draft after the obvious blue chippers have all been taken. But the scouts, people…...

T.J. Hockenson Was the Biggest Winner from the NFL Draft

In the last days of April and the first of May, 256 players were drafted into the National Football League. Given how many thousands of youngsters play football in high school, and how many hundreds play in college, being one of the 256 represents an incredible achievement for every single one of them. Some, like Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars, have the hopes of a…...

Najee Harris Fulfills His Destiny in Pittsburgh and Cements Himself as a Fantasy Must Own

With the No. 24 pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected running back Najee Harris out of Alabama. Fans and fantasy owners everywhere can now dream about the second coming of Le’Veon Bell. Harris comes into the NFL after a stellar four-year stint with the Crimson Tide. He played in 51 games, rushing for 3,843 yards at an average of 6.0 yards…...

DeVonta Smith Takes Over in Philadelphia, Helping Jalen Hurts and Maybe Even Jalen Reagor

With the 10th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles selected wide receiver DeVonta Smith from Alabama. The Eagles sent a third-round pick to their NFC East rivals the Dallas Cowboys to move up from 12 to 10 to take Smith. Smith comes into the NFL after an illustrious four-year stint with the Crimson Tide. In 47 games for Alabama, Smith caught 235…...

Jaylen Waddle Goes to Miami and the Dolphins Suddenly Look Explosive

With the sixth pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Jaylen Waddle, former Alabama wide receiver. He was the second WR selected with Ja’Marr Chase going to the Cincinnati Bengals at pick five. Waddle played three seasons for the Crimson Tide and appeared in 34 games. His 2020 season was cut short due to injury, and he ended up playing just six…...

Gerald Everett Joins the Seahawks: Is He the Fantasy Breakout Option Owners Desperately Need at TE?

The Seattle Seahawks moved to replace the retired Greg Olsen at tight end by signing Gerald Everett to a one-year, $6 million contract. On a new team, with a more efficient quarterback, could this move finally unlock Everett as a fantasy force? A viable receiving option at the TE spot is something that eluded the Seahawks in 2020. Even when Russell Wilson was “cooking,” the main…...

Could the Jaguars Signing of Marvin Jones Be the key to Unlocking Laviska Shenault in 2021?

The Jacksonville Jaguars bolstered their offense in free agency, signing former Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones to a two-year, $14.5 million contract. After finishing the 2020 season strong, can Jones continue to be fantasy relevant in sunny Florida? The Jaguars, barring an absolutely incredible series of events, will have a new quarterback in 2021 in Trevor Lawrence. In order for him to enjoy some…...

Hunter Henry Is Now a Patriot, but Has New England’s Spending Spree Actually Crushed His Fantasy Value?

After a wild day of spending on the first day of free agency, the New England Patriots were at it again on Tuesday. This time, they inked Hunter Henry, formerly of the Los Angeles Chargers, to a three-year, $37.5 million contract. But while the 2020 Patriots offense lacked weapons, does the crowded nature of the 2021 team make it hard to trust Henry in fantasy…...
