The NFC Championship will feature the Minnesota Vikings, fresh off last week’s Minneapolis Miracle, traveling east to take on the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles. Opposing quarterbacks Case Keenum and Nick Foles led the 2015 St. Louis Rams to a 7-9 finish while averaging just 17.5 points per game, which was 29th in the NFL that season. The duo started all 16 games for the Rams that year and combined to throw 11 touchdown passes. Fast forward to present day, and one of them will be starting in Super Bowl LII.…

Rob Gronkowski used his second 20-plus fantasy point performance of 2017 in Week 12 to vault him back into the overall TE1 spot on the year.

We’ve touched on it plenty of times in this space, but the Giants have been the most fruitful matchup in the entire NFL in 2017. Davis…

Week 7 was a productive one for tight ends as a group. A whopping 16 tight ends, including Dallas' Jason Witten, who we've highlighted below, eclipsed 50 receiving yards, the most in a single week since Week 12 of the 2015 season. We probably will not see a repeat of that number in Week 8, primarily because Week 8 features a season-high six teams on a bye. One of those teams is the New York Giants, which immediately takes two elite tight end options off the board - Giants rookie Evan Engram and whoever the Giants’ opponent…

Tight ends were heavily involved in the action in Week 6. There was a dozen tight ends who had at least seven targets, and fourteen tight ends who caught at least one touchdown pass. Rob Gronkowski returned from his Week 5 absence and showed why he’s the best in the business, as he torched the New York Jets for 83 yards and two touchdowns. His counterpart in that game, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, finished tied for seventh in standard leagues in Week 6. Of course, he would’ve finished second behind Gronkowski had he not had a…
