It might have been mentioned once or twice, but last week was National Tight Ends Day in the NFL. In honor of this special holiday, the TEs of the NFL stepped up to the plate admirably, delivering several notable performances. The stats below show how each TE celebrated the holiday with their owners, not including those playing Monday Night Football. If we did, the results would look even more spectacular.
But the National Tight End Day festivities are over. The decorations have returned to the garage. The T-shirts are back at the back of the closet. Yet the cosmic ballet continues, and fantasy football lineups need the TE spot sorting out. As always, I am here to offer three players who can help you this week. These players are available in at least 50% of all ESPN leagues and have intriguing situations in the game week ahead.
Let’s get to it.
