It’s a little odd that National Tight End Day is Week 8 since Trey McBride, Brock Bowers, and Sam LaPorta are on a bye. But we should have some big performances from tight ends this week, and I like a lot of them as sleepers.
Oronde Gadsden II got the week started on a high note Thursday night against Minnesota with five catches for 77 yards and a touchdown on five targets. He’s one of 15 tight ends that I would start this week at their position or at flex.
Here, I’m going to highlight five sleepers I would consider using, including Harold Fannin Jr., Dalton Schultz, Mason Taylor, Juwan Johnson, and Evan Engram. In Start ‘Em & ‘Em, I also listed Dallas Goedert, Cade Otton, and Kyle Pitts as starts.
There are a lot of great matchups for tight ends in Week 8. Aside from McBride, Bowers, and LaPorta being off, National Tight End Day should be a lot of fun for the guys at that position, which should benefit Fantasy managers in a big way.
