There will be weeks where the tight end position is a little better than we expect. We won’t get explosive scoring all across the board, but there’ll be a good number of fantasy performances that will make managers happy. Well, maybe not happy. But certainly, they won’t be screaming for the abolition of the position from all future fantasy leagues.
Last week, between Thursday and Sunday night, 16 TEs scored at least nine PPR points in their matchups. That’s pretty good, right? I mean, based on the average week from that spot. I think it’s cause for celebration. But we move on. Below, you will find the names of three TEs that you can call upon in Week 3. These players are a seasoned vet, an exciting rookie, and a sophomore who has a matchup to die for. I firmly believe that they can do a job for your fantasy team in Week 3.
Players are available in at least 50% of ESPN PPR leagues. Stats do not include players from Monday Night Football
