Week 13 of the season is not the time to get cute with tight end selections. One could argue of course that you should never take chances when it comes to the most toxic position group in the whole of fantasy football. But even if you do subscribe to this view, now is definitely not the time. Week 12’s selections were, on the whole, a case of “Oh nearly.” Jacob Hollister was missed in the end zone by Russell Wilson despite standing more open than a 24-hour petrol station. He finished with a measly 4.2 PPR points. In the same…...

Another week in the NFL, another double-digit target week for Michael Thomas and Julian Edelman. Some things just don’t change. Here’s the full list of WRs who commanded at least 10 targets in the last week of NFL action. Double-Digit Targets in Week 12 QUICK THOUGHTS Terry McLaurin saw a career-high 12 targets in his side’s win over the Detroit Lions. He responded with his best yardage total since Week 6. But his catch rate of 41.7% was the lowest of the year. After getting off to something of a hot start to his NFL career, the last five games…...

The Week 11 streamers started off looking like something of a disappointment, with Vance McDonald managing only 6.3 PPR points on Thursday Night Football and O.J. Howard somehow turning his only target of the day into an interception. But Old Faithful Kyle Rudolph answered the call with a valiant 17.7 PPR points, making him the TE4 on the week. There was also success for the ultimate Process Play in Ross Dwelley, who only posted 14 yards on his four receptions. But two of them went for touchdowns, giving him 17.4 PPR points and a TE6 finish on the week. Let’s…...

There are a host of familiar names among the ranks of the most targeted wide receivers from Week 11. Michael Thomas, Julian Edelman, and DeAndre Hopkins have all seen at least ten targets in each of their last five games. Indeed, Thomas is currently on a six-game streak of seeing double-digit targets. Here’s the full list of WRs who commanded at least 10 targets in the last week of NFL action. Double-Digit Targets in Week 11 QUICK THOUGHTS Minshew Mania may have overshadowed just how good a season D.J. Chark is having. Indeed, in terms of sophomore seasons, through the…...

Week 11 sees another host of teams on byes, leading to some key performers at the tight end spot sitting out. In their absence, you’ll need to find someone to plug into your lineups. Well, look no further. Let’s look at some of the best choices for the week ahead. As always, we’ll be focusing on players available in at least 50% of ESPN leagues at the time of writing. KYLE RUDOLPH (AVAILABLE IN 64.8% OF ESPN LEAGUES) vs. DENVER BRONCOS There is nothing particularly exciting about putting Kyle Rudolph in your fantasy lineup these days. His numbers so far…...

The wide receivers in Week 10 certainly enjoyed a large workload, didn’t they? Seventeen wide receivers saw at least 10 targets, with nine of the players in question commanding a 30% target share within their own offenses. If there is one curiosity that emerged from this week, it is that in spite of so many players seeing so many targets, 11 of the players failed to score a touchdown. Here’s the full list of WRs who commanded at least 10 targets in the last week of NFL action. Double-Digit Targets in Week 10 QUICK THOUGHTS Remember when Keenan Allen was…...

Week 9 got off to a great start for the tight end streaming community, as Daniel Fells continued his recent hot streak with a one-yard touchdown reception for the Texans against the Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. Huzzah, there’s 7.1 PPR points already! And then Fells went on to not see a single target for the rest of the game. Gee, thanks, Deshaun Watson. I really appreciate that. As for the other streamers, Dallas Goedert didn’t do an awful lot after the Eagles decided it would be a Zach Ertz day against the Bears. Goedert finished with his fewest PPR points…...

The wide receivers who saw the most targets this past week of NFL action contain some very familiar names. Julian Edelman has had double-digit targets in each of his last four games. The same is true of DeAndre Hopkins. Mike Evans has three games this season in which he has commanded 10 or more targets. Here’s the full list of WRs who commanded at least 10 targets in the last week of NFL action. Double-Digit Targets in Week 9 QUICK THOUGHTS It’s not like Evans hasn’t been productive in the NFL before his 2019 season. He’s No.4 in targets, No.8…...

Kyle Rudolph did virtually nothing to justify my faith in him last week, as he delivered a dud on Thursday Night. To be fair to Kyle, his team’s firm commitment towards #EstablishingTheRun meant that it was hardly a day for any pass catcher. But my mood was lifted over the weekend by the showings from Jonnu Smith and Dallas Goedert. Smith posted 19.8 PPR points on his way to finishing as the overall TE3 last week, the first top-12 outing of his career. Goedert was TE11 on the week, on the back of his 11.2 points against the Bills. On…...

The list of the most targeted wide receivers in Week 8 contained a host of familiar names, many of whom enjoyed banner weeks in both reality and fantasy football. Mike Evans of the Buccaneers had his second game this season with 190-plus receiving yards. Julian Edelman had his first game of the season with at least two touchdowns. Julio Jones proved that he doesn’t need the security of Matt Ryan at the quarterback spot (although I’m sure he’d prefer it) to produce, catching 10 passes for 152 yards from Matt Schaub. Here’s the full list of WRs who commanded at…...
