Trick or Treat! Week 9 Tight End Streamers

Neil Dutton
October 29, 2024

Well wasn’t National Tight Ends Day 2024 fun! Per Dante Koplowitz-Fleming on X, Sunday in Week 8 saw 177 TE receptions, 1,965 receiving yards, and 16 touchdown receptions for TEs. Just wow. Just look at all these fantasy-relevant TEs from Week 8!

Stats do not include players from Monday Night Football

Just like Christmas, the festivities are over all too quickly. We must return to the rat race and get on with our work. So if you need help at TE this week, you’ve come to the right place. Here are three players you can scoop up off the waiver wire and plug into your lineups for the Week 9 games. It’s not looking great on the wire this week. But after such an explosion of production last week, it’s a tough act to follow.

Tyler Conklin (72.8%) vs. Houston Texans

Tyler Conklin has seen his rostered percentage drop below 50% over the last few weeks. This is sadly ironic, as he is now on a two-game touchdown streak after going nearly two seasons without a single score. Conklin plays an awful lot of snaps for the Jets and runs a lot of routes. He is second among all TEs in routes.

Conklin seems presently immune to the dysfunction surrounding the Jets at present and that should keep him somewhat fantasy relevant. This is despite a less-than-ideal matchup. The Texans are not scared of TEs and don’t let TEs beat them. Over their last five games, the Texans rank 31st in PPR points per game allowed, 30th in targets per game, 32nd in receptions per game, and 31st in receiving yards per game. Conklin might need his touchdown streak to make him relevant in fantasy this week. But Conklin does seem to have developed some level of chemistry with Aaron Rodgers, so that has to count for something, right?

Stranger Things: Week 2 Tight End Streamers

Neil Dutton September 10, 2025

Week 1 of the season is always weird. This year was no exception. For the first time since Week 15 of the 2018 season, precisely zero tight ends managed 16 PPR points in a game. This was despite four players commanding target shares in excess of 27%! Week 1 also saw injuries to key players, with George Kittle and Brock Bowers both picking up knocks…....
