It’s a tough world out there for fantasy owners and their TEs this year, and this week could spell trouble, too. Touchdowns seem to stay the name of the game for most TEs, and we can only hope the backups and low-owned players don’t steal all the scores this week. Some tight ends might have a change in rankings, like Delanie Walker if Marcus Mariota (hamstring) misses this week, and some of the top TEs, like Zach Ertz and Rob Gronkowski, are facing top defenses against TEs (although we expect they’ll still get their normal share of points), but it’s something to watch out for.
Jordan Reed, Austin Hooper, Coby Fleener, and Denver’s various TEs are on bye this coming week, which only complicates matters.
