At this point, things should be settling in at the tight end position. Sure, there might be some streaming taking place, but that’s normal. Whether it’s forced or by design is a different story, but the challenge remains the same. Our Week 10 byes include four teams: the Chicago Bears, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Denver Broncos. That means replacements for Colston Loveland and Dallas Goedert, at a minimum, must be found. Now, let’s take a look at our NFL Week 10 tight end rankings in the quest to set a winning lineup.

Tight End Notes
Tyler Warren, Indianapolis Colts
Will Warren be the last man left standing? We’ve already established that it’s been a very rough season for the second-year tight end. How much can truly be blamed on Warren might be up for debate, but we can agree on the fact that it’s been a disappointment. By the time we get to Week 10, though, it’s possible that he’s the best skill position player on the Colts.
The NFL Trade deadline could mean that both Jonathan Taylor and Josh Downs are playing elsewhere for the remainder of the season. Regardless of that, Warren is still one of the better weapons at the disposal of Daniel Jones. No one is going to defend 38 catches for 275 yards and two touchdowns, but maybe things aren’t that bad.
In his last three games played, Warren does have 26 targets. That’s translated to 15 receptions, but the issue is that after 83 receiving yards in Week 5, he has a combined 62 yards in his last two games. This week’s matchup against the Miami Dolphins should be a fair fight for the Colts. It also helps from Warren’s perspective that the Dolphins rank in the top five in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season.
Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams
How aggressive are we willing to be here? Last week, Higbee was targeted five times, but he caught just one for 13 yards. There was a three-game stretch, between Week 2 and Week 4, in which the veteran caught 18 passes for 212 yards. Aside from that, Higbee has 10 catches for 75 yards. Now, in Week 10, which version will we get?
Davante Adams and Terrence Ferguson were already on Injured Reserve. Now, the Rams are holding their breath on the status of Puka Nacua’s knee. If we assume, at least, that he needs a week of recovery, someone has to catch Matthew Stafford’s passes, right?
Heading into their bye week, and with a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, there’s no need to push Nacua. At this point, the initial thought is that he will be headed to Injured Reserve. Let Higbee do the heavy lifting here against an Arizona team that ranks in the top-10 of fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends.
Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens
Let’s try this again for Andrews. In Week 10, Jacoby Brissett will become the fourth quarterback that Andrews will be catching passes from this season. Regardless of what the veteran quarterback does, it can’t be worse than last week. After all, Andrews led Baltimore in receiving yards with 19.
No one is going to confuse Brissett with being a substitute for Lamar Jackson or an elite quarterback, but he is a professional who can get the job done. He leaned heavily on Trey McBride in Arizona, and he also has no issues putting the ball in the air.
With 31 catches for 237 yards and a touchdown this season, it hasn’t been the best of seasons for Andrews. However, we know what he’s capable of, and he shouldn’t be blamed for Joe Fagnano’s struggles last week.
