With the absence of two of the top three fantasy tight ends and three of the top four in receiving yardage, it’s not a surprise that tight end fantasy production left a little to be desired in Week 10. Vernon Davis was the only tight end to hit 75 yards, and only four tight ends had double-digit fantasy points. One of those four was Austin Hooper, who posted his second top-five finish in three weeks. Don’t look now, but Hooper is the overall TE7 on the year and has made a significant leap in his second season. Garrett Celek…

There weren’t a lot of memorable performances by tight ends in Week 9. Only five tight ends hit double-digit fantasy points in Week 9. Travis Kelce finished as the overall TE2 for the week with 73 yards and a touchdown in Kansas City’s loss to Dallas. Kelce is now the top fantasy tight end this season, though Rob Gronkowski and Zach Ertz will have plenty to say about that before all is said and done. Ertz appeared as though he was going to suit up on Sunday for a great matchup against the Denver Broncos. Unfortunately, he…

There were not a ton of noteworthy fantasy performances by tight ends in Week 8. Then again, the New York Giants had a bye week. Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce earned the top spot in Week 8. He put up 19.3 fantasy points on Monday night, a feat arguably as impressive as going an entire game without being flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Kelce joins Rob Gronkowski and Zach Ertz as the top fantasy tight ends this season. The three are in a tier amongst themselves. They each have at least 500 yards and at least…

Week 2 was a bounce-back week for many tight ends. Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce owners can breathe a sigh of relief after each player rebounded from Week 1 disappointments with over 100 yards and a touchdown each. Things were so status quo for the two studs that Gronkowski left early due to an injury and Kelce was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Ah, normalcy. There were eight tight ends who had at least 79 receiving yards, as opposed to two in Week 1. There were also 10 tight ends who caught a touchdown…

Week 1 is officially in the books! Just as everyone predicted, Austin Hooper and Jesse James are the top two fantasy tight ends. Business as usual. Seriously, though - aside from Hooper and James trading places with Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce atop the tight end leaderboard, there wasn’t a lot that took place in Week 1 that changed the tight end landscape. Just 10 tight ends reached double-digit point totals in Week 1. Gronkowski and Kelce had difficult matchups and they will obviously recover quickly. As we approach…
