Week 9 NFL Fantasy DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Tight Ends

Justin Elick
written by Justin Elick

Last week saw even more injuries to the TE position again. Irv Smith Jr is now on the IR, Mike Gesicki found the end zone. George Kittle did what he does, and we are ready to move on to Week 9! We are officially at the midway point of the season (half way through the games at least).

Be sure to jump into the WinDailySports Discord, and take advantage of our cheat sheets and projections while you build your lineups for Week 8 on FanDuel and DraftKings! It would be the midway point of the season in a normal 16-game season already! Let’s find ourselves a few edges as we climb the leaderboards once again!

Zach Ertz, Cardinals ($5,100 DraftKings, $6,600 FanDuel)

After a short hiatus, we welcome Mr. Ertz back to the Tight End article. He draws the best matchup on the board against Seattle once again. Coincidentally, Arizona is now allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing TE, but that matters little here. Seattle is still serving up 20+ fantasy points per game to TE, and Ertz was pretty much the only Cardinal who showed up in the first meeting (7-70).

DeAndre Hopkins is back, but Marquise Brown is on the shelf for the foreseeable future, so Ertz is still one of the top options in this offense. I’d be willing to wager we see more than 28 total points in the rematch here. Ertz is the most expensive option on both sites with Mark Andrews and Travis Kelce both on showdown slates. That doesn’t shy me away from him at all. I expect some fireworks here, and Ertz has a solid floor in this one.

Gerald Everett, Chargers ($4,800 DraftKings, $5,800 FanDuel)

Everett has seen 16 targets over his last two contests, and has built a solid rapport with Justin Herbert. Even better? Mike Williams has already been ruled OUT for this one. Keenan Allen seems to be behind schedule in his recovery from a hamstring injury. Behind Austin Ekeler, Everett may be the most reliable member of the Chargers offense on Sunday.

Only the aforementioned Seahawks and Cardinals have allowed more yardage to TE than the Falcons’ 552 this season. Increased looks are coming his way. He is averaging eight targets a game over the last two…this is a perfect storm for Everett. I will likely have Everett in a LOT of my lineups in Week 9.

Hayden Hurst, Bengals ($3,600 DraftKings, $5,300 FanDuel)

We all saw the disaster that was the Bengals’ offense on Monday Night Football. I’m far from a Zac Taylor apologist. When this offense has missed EITHER JaMarr Chase or Tee Higgins, Taylor has completely lost it. Enough about Zac. Hurst has been clear about how happy he is to be in Cincinnati and be part of something special. The Bengals have no choice but to win as much as possible the rest of the season.

Over his last five games, Hurst has posted 11.7, 17.3, 5.1, 10.8, and 8.2 DraftKings points. The Panthers have been middle of the pack against TE in 2022. Volume is king here once again, and I’d be stunned to see Hurst with less than 6 targets as a floor. Burrow will be looking his way early and often. With the way the Bengals defense is depleted right now, Carolina will likely make this one close. Hurst has a big ceiling here in my book.

Evan Engram, Jaguars ($3,300 DraftKings, $5,200 FanDuel)

I don’t know how you feel about the term “smash spot”, but regardless of your take, Engram is definitely in one this weekend. The Raiders have quietly been dominated by TE this season, allowing the 2nd-most TD (6), 2nd-most Red Zone targets (15), and the MOST goal-to-go targets (10).

Engram has flown under the radar big time this season, posting DraftKings totals of 12.9, 9, 10.7, and 15.5 over his last four games. After the hot start by Christian Kirk this season, the Jaguars WR have largely been a disappointment. They continue to lose games, which leads them into more obvious passing situations. Nobody has an idea what is going on with the Raiders, but they certainly aren’t mailing it in for the season yet. This one has sneaky shootout potential, and Engram is crazy cheap for his potential value.

James Mitchell, Lions ($2,500 DraftKings, $4,000 FanDuel)

I have found the ultimate punt play. With TJ Hockenson shipped out of town to division rival Minnesota, there are plenty of opportunities to be had in this Lions offense. Brock Wright is technically listed as the next man up here, but is dealing with a concussion.

Mitchell was a dual-threat in college at Virginia Tech, with five rushing and six receiving touchdowns over his final two seasons (20 games). Sure, this play could completely flop, but at this dead minimum salary, I’m banking on a payoff. Green Bay has been tough against opposing TE, but this is a play of opportunity and upside. The more I think about it, the more shares I want this weekend.

Come find me on Twitter and let’s chat some football! Good luck in Week 7, and let’s meet at the top of the leaderboards!

Week 8 NFL Fantasy DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Tight Ends

Justin Elick
written by Justin Elick

I was disheartened to see David Njoku go down with an injury in the 3rd quarter last week! He still managed a 7-71 line, but he will be out for a few weeks now. Travis Kelce did what he does, and I was a sucker for looking at Robert Tonyan again. The further we move into the season, the more important these games become! It’s time. Let’s roll.

Be sure to jump into the WinDailySports Discord, and take advantage of our cheat sheets and projections while you build your lineups for Week 8 on FanDuel and DraftKings! It would be the midway point of the season in a normal 16-game season already! Let’s find ourselves a few edges as we climb the leaderboards once again!

George Kittle, 49ers ($5,700 DraftKings, $6,900 FanDuel)

Look, the Rams are #1 in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to opposing TE. That said, they haven’t exactly faced a gauntlet of talent. Kittle had just 2-24 (four targets) in the first matchup here, but the 49ers won handily. I’m expecting this one to be closer, and Vegas is as well. The line currently sits around two points.

Kittle FINALLY looks fully healthy, and has seen 19 targets over the last two weeks. All he has done with those targets is 14-181-1. With no Mark Andrews or Travis Kelce on this slate, he is the default #1. He has played at least 89% of the snaps in each game he has played, and this week will be no exception. The 49ers are coming off a blowout loss to Kansas City. A sweep of a Rams team they have dominated in the regular season looks to be in the cards here. I have zero faith in the Rams doing anything but throwing the ball to Cooper Kupp. Kittle is in line for a solid game once again.

Pat Freiermuth, Steelers ($3,900 DraftKings, $5,700 FanDuel)

After missing a week, “The Freier” (do people call him that?) got right back to being the most consistent part of the Steelers offense. He hauled in eight of nine targets for 75 yards despite only playing 59% of the snaps. The Pittsburgh offense is a mess, but one thing is for certain. If (when) this team is down, Pat is getting looks.

The Eagles are 14th in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to opposing TE, but volume prevails here. He saw the most targets among all TE in Week 7. The Steelers have scored a TOTAL of 13 points in their last two games. When Kenny Pickett isn’t throwing the ball to the other team, Freiermuth should get plenty of opportunities.

Chris Myarick, Giants ($2,800 DraftKings, $4,600 FanDuel)

I was on Daniel Bellinger last week, and he left in the second quarter with an injury. You know the drill here. Myarick will be the default starter for the Giants and they face…the Seahawks. I’ll continue to target this defense with TE. They still rank dead last in fantasy points allowed to opposing TE, serving up nearly 600 yards in 2002.

Myarick is certainly a low-floor option, but he is a low-cost option as well. Given the plus matchup, I am fine going this way in cash games if necessary.

Irv Smith Jr., Vikings ($3,500 DraftKings, $5,000 FanDuel)

This certainly seems like a great week to pay down at TE, and Irv is one of your best options. Much like the Seahawks, the Cardinals have struggled to contain opposing TE. They are the only team aside from Seattle to allow more than 17 PPG…and they are still over 20. Irv has been getting looks from Kirk Cousins, with at least four in each of his last five games.

He has found the end zone twice this season, and this game has one of the highest totals of the week at 48.5 points. I’m off Zach Ertz for the most part with DeAndre Hopkins back, but I don’t hate the play if it fits into your lineup. I’ll be focusing more on the cheap guys if I’m not playing Kittle.

Mike Gesicki, Dolphins ($3,800 DraftKings, $5,400 FanDuel)

While I made a point in my showdown article to say I wasn’t chasing points with Gesicki, he makes sense here. In a week with no obvious top plays, Gesicki stands out in a few ways. He has seven targets in each of the last two weeks, and Tua looked off after the hot start against Pittsburgh.

Miami/Detroit owns the highest total on the slate, and it isn’t particularly close. The total is hovering near 52 points in this one, and the Lions rank 28th against opposing TE. I’m expecting Tua to continue to look his way in this one. It isn’t a pretty play by any means, but it’s a cheap way to get exposure to a massive total.

Week 7 NFL Fantasy DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Tight Ends

Justin Elick
written by Justin Elick

A new week is upon us, and another chance to take advantage of some great matchups! Bye weeks are in full force, so ownership will continue to be driven up in some spots. Let’s find ourselves some value and upside for Week 7!

Be sure to jump into the WinDailySports Discord, and take advantage of our cheat sheets and projections while you build your lineups for Week 7 on FanDuel and DraftKings! The season is FLYING by, and we are approaching the midway point FAST!

Gerald Everett, Chargers ($4,000 DraftKings, $6,300 FanDuel)

Another week, another opportunity to attack Seattle with a TE. While Everett has done little to nothing over the last two weeks (6-31 on 10 targets), this is a prime spot for him. He missed practice on Wednesday with an illness, so keep an eye on him throughout the week. I’m not expecting any illness to be significant enough to keep him out on Sunday. Fellow TE Donald Parham is in the concussion protocol, so Everett could end up with even more snaps and opportunities.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. The Seahawks are allowing over 24 fantasy points per game to opposing TE. Keenan Allen has a chance to return this week, but that likely won’t affect Everett too much. This game easily has the highest total of the week at 51.5 points. You’re going to want some shares of this game. FanDuel seems to have priced him accordingly for this elite matchup, but he is still dirt cheap on DraftKings. Let’s continue to smash the Seahawks with TE!

Robert Tonyan, Packers ($4,100 DraftKings, $5,500 FanDuel)

Aaron Rodgers can’t seem to trust any of the WR in the Packers offense, and has now lost Randall Cobb for at least the next few weeks. Tonyan stepped up in a big way last week against the Jets, and he was the only one who seemed to show up for the game.

Tonyan was a machine last week, hauling in 10 of 12 targets for 90 yards. While game script dictated some of that, the Packers have struggled mightily on offense overall. Green Bay is favored by 4.5 points right now in this one. The team is already sitting two games behind Minnesota, and each conference game is near a must-win at this stage of the season for a team with Super Bowl aspirations (although count me OUT as a believer in this squad).

Daniel Bellinger, Giants ($3,400 DraftKings, $5,100 FanDuel)

One of the biggest surprises on the team who is the biggest surprise in the NFL this season is Bellinger. He has provided value on few opportunities over the last few weeks, finding the end zone in each of the last two games. He has increased his snap rate from 74% to 94% over that short span. The Jags have actually been tough on opposing TE, but opportunity and price put Bellinger firmly in play for me here.

Travis Kelce, Chiefs ($8,000 DraftKings, $8,300 FanDuel)

Rostering the best TE in the NFL seems like a viable strategy, regardless of matchup. The 49ers have allowed less than eight fantasy points per game to opposing TE, but that doesn’t matter here. Kelce is matchup-proof, as evidenced by his 8-108 line against the Bills last week. He is averaging almost nine targets per game, has Patrick Mahomes under center, anything else you need to hear? Kelce always has slate-breaking upside.

David Njoku, Browns ($4,200 DraftKings, $5,700 FanDuel)

Did you know that Njoku is the ONLY TE in the NFL who has 50+ yards in each of the last four weeks? Of course you did. In fact, he has 58+ in all of those games, and 73+ in three of four. He has been a borderline elite fantasy option at the position over the last month, and I don’t see that changing this week.

Only the Patriots and Raiders have allowed more TD to opposing TE than the Ravens (4). Njoku and the Browns are in desperation mode right now following three straight losses. Njoku has been the most consistent player on the offense of late (save for maybe Nick Chubb), and I’m all for the volume once again. He has 29 targets over the last month, and although he has only found the end zone once over that span, he has an elite floor. He makes sense as a cash game play if you aren’t paying up for Kelce or Mark Andrews.

Week 6 NFL Fantasy DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Tight Ends

Justin Elick
written by Justin Elick

Last week was a rough one for the Tight End position. Two of my guys ended up being ruled OUT late in the week. Taysom Hill (even HE doesn’t know if he is a TE) scored FOUR times, then Travis Kelce posted a quad score game on Monday night. I’d be willing to wager that no TE scores four times this week, let alone two…BUT we have some really juicy matchups this week. Let’s dig in for Week 6!

Be sure to jump into the WinDailySports Discord, and take advantage of our cheat sheets and projections while you build your lineups for Week 6 on FanDuel and DraftKings! After this week, we are officially one-third of the way through the NFL regular season!

Travis Kelce, Chiefs ($7,800 DraftKings, $8,300 FanDuel)

It seems like it has been forever since we could roster Kelce on the main slate, but he’s back for Week 6! His price has skyrocketed, and deservedly so. He was a touchdown machine on Monday night, but managed only seven catches for 25 yards on eight targets. He has now posted 24+ DraftKings points in three of five games.

The Bills are allowing under eight fantasy points per game to opposing Tight Ends in 2022. Travis Kelce cares very little for matchup. He has had plenty of success against the Bills, posting lines of 8/96/1, 6/57/1, and 5/65/2 in their last three matchups. No surprise here, but Kelce leads the NFL in Red Zone targets with 14.

He seems like a smart fade in tournaments, as his ownership should be through the roof. That said, a full fade for an MME player could be tough to swallow. I’m also never going to tell you not to play Mark Andrews, but you didn’t come here for me to tell you to roster all the most expensive players.

Will Dissly, Seahawks ($3,100 DraftKings, $5,000 FanDuel)

Hear me out. Dissly is dirt cheap, and has been a sneaky source of value this season. His DraftKings totals have been mostly solid: 13.3, 2.0, 12.4, 13.9, 4.1. He has yet to see more than four targets in a game in 2022, but has found the end zone three times in five games.

His matchup this week is one of the better ones, as Arizona ranks 31st in fantasy points allowed to opposing TE. Only the Buffalo/Kansas City has a higher total in Week 6 than the 51.5 in this one. Dissly doesn’t have immense upside, but he is a solid source of value.

Zach Ertz, Cardinals ($4,900 DraftKings, $6,000 FanDuel)

Remember this guy? I hate to sound like a broken record, but volume is king. Off the top of your head, how many TE have more targets than Ertz (37) over the last four weeks? Give up? The answer is one. Mark Andrews (39). Tyler Higbee also has 37 over that span, but I want no part of the disaster that is the Rams offense.

Back to our main man Ertz. While Zach has only bested 50 yards receiving once this season, a site like DraftKings that has full-point PPR is the perfect spot. He has scored in double-digits every week of the season. Did I mention that the Seahawks are allowing TWENTY-SIX fantasy points per game to opposing TE? That’s one spot worse, but a full seven points worse than the aforementioned Cardinals. I don’t hate the idea of throwing both him and Dissly into some lineups this weekend.

David Njoku, Browns ($4,000 DraftKings, $5,900 FanDuel)

I feel like Njoku is a player who will be criminally underowned this week. The Patriots have allowed more TD to opposing TE (5) than any team not named the Raiders. Njoku has been a tremendous asset for the surprisingly efficient Browns offense. Check out his last three games:

9/89/1 (10 targets)

5/73 (7)

6/88 (6)

He has been remarkably consistent, and not only are the Patriots 8th in the NFL against the run, but we all know Bill Belichick. He will be selling out to stop the best RB duo on the planet in Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Njoku is my GPP special of the week.

Hayden Hurst, Bengals ($3,300 DraftKings, $4,900 FanDuel)

This play is partially contingent on the status of Tee Higgins, but Hurst is an option even if Tee is a full go. The Bengals offense has struggled overall, but Hurst has been a bright spot the last two weeks. He has seen 11 targets over that span, totaling 9/80/2. He seems to have built a solid rapport with Joe Burrow, and I’m expecting that to continue here.

The Saints have allowed just seven fantasy points per game to opposing TE, but they haven’t exactly faced a gauntlet. Hurst doesn’t have massive upside here, but he should continue to have an important role in this offense.

Week 6 NFL Fantasy DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Tight Ends

Justin Elick
written by Justin Elick

Last week was a rough one for the Tight End position. Two of my guys ended up being ruled OUT late in the week. Taysom Hill (even HE doesn’t know if he is a TE) scored FOUR times, then Travis Kelce posted a quad score game on Monday night. I’d be willing to wager that no TE scores four times this week, let alone two…BUT we have some really juicy matchups this week. Let’s dig in for Week 6!

Be sure to jump into the WinDailySports Discord, and take advantage of our cheat sheets and projections while you build your lineups for Week 6 on FanDuel and DraftKings! After this week, we are officially one-third of the way through the NFL regular season!

Travis Kelce, Chiefs ($7,800 DraftKings, $8,300 FanDuel)

It seems like it has been forever since we could roster Kelce on the main slate, but he’s back for Week 6! His price has skyrocketed, and deservedly so. He was a touchdown machine on Monday night, but managed only seven catches for 25 yards on eight targets. He has now posted 24+ DraftKings points in three of five games.

The Bills are allowing under eight fantasy points per game to opposing Tight Ends in 2022. Travis Kelce cares very little for matchup. He has had plenty of success against the Bills, posting lines of 8/96/1, 6/57/1, and 5/65/2 in their last three matchups. No surprise here, but Kelce leads the NFL in Red Zone targets with 14.

He seems like a smart fade in tournaments, as his ownership should be through the roof. That said, a full fade for an MME player could be tough to swallow. I’m also never going to tell you not to play Mark Andrews, but you didn’t come here for me to tell you to roster all the most expensive players.

Will Dissly, Seahawks ($3,100 DraftKings, $5,000 FanDuel)

Hear me out. Dissly is dirt cheap, and has been a sneaky source of value this season. His DraftKings totals have been mostly solid: 13.3, 2.0, 12.4, 13.9, 4.1. He has yet to see more than four targets in a game in 2022, but has found the end zone three times in five games.

His matchup this week is one of the better ones, as Arizona ranks 31st in fantasy points allowed to opposing TE. Only the Buffalo/Kansas City has a higher total in Week 6 than the 51.5 in this one. Dissly doesn’t have immense upside, but he is a solid source of value.

Zach Ertz, Cardinals ($4,900 DraftKings, $6,000 FanDuel)

Week 5 NFL Fantasy DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Tight Ends

Justin Elick
written by Justin Elick

Listen, I feel guilty for not recommending TJ Hockenson last week. Of course we all saw 93 points coming in that game, and I should have been all over it! I kid, of course, and congrats to all who had TJ. He truly broke the slate at TE. Now that we are in Week 5, our goal is to find the TJ this week (maybe it IS TJ). Let’s get right to it.

Be sure to jump into the WinDailySports Discord, and take advantage of our cheat sheets and projections while you build your lineups for Week 4 on DraftKings and FanDuel! Crazy to think that after this week, we are already almost 25% of the way through the NFL season!

Logan Thomas, Commanders ($3,200 DraftKings, $5,200 FanDuel)

Maybe I’m just an old curmudgeon, but typing the word “Commanders” for an NFL team makes me feel like I’m playing an unlicensed version of Madden. Nevertheless, Thomas is a sneaky good play this week. Jahan Dotson seems very unlikely to play on Sunday, and Thomas should be one of the main beneficiaries.

After running routes on only about 76% of his snaps Weeks 1-2, Thomas ran a route on over 94% each of the last two weeks. He was targeted six times against Dallas on Sunday, but pulled in just five balls for 19 yards. It’s easy to blame Carson Wentz, who is undoubtedly the man staring back at you when you Google “QBs who are terrible in real life but fantasy relevant”.

Washington faces the Titans this week, and only the Seahawks (thanks to Hockenson) are allowing more fantasy points per game to opposing TE.

Zach Ertz, Cardinals ($4,800 DraftKings, $5,900 FanDuel)

I’m fairly certain that Ertz has been in this article every week so far this season. I can’t imagine that changing, regardless of matchup, until DeAndre Hopkins returns. Check out where our guy Zach ranks among TE since Week 2.

Snap counts: 1st, 1st, 7th.

Targets: T1st, T2nd, T7th.

The opportunities are there, and the only reason he saw a SLIGHT dip last week was the fact that the Cardinals weren’t playing from behind for once. I’ll be betting that they’ll be playing from behind again this week against the 4-0 Eagles.

If you’re into this sort of thing, we can call this one a revenge game for Ertz. This will be his first time facing his former team. The matchup isn’t great of course, but the volume should be elite once again.

Dallas Goedert, Eagles ($4,700 DraftKings, $6,100 FanDuel)

Last week we discussed two TE who were facing each other, and this week our featured matchup is Goedert vs Ertz. Dallas has 16 targets over his last three games, and draws a juicy matchup against the Cardinals. They rank 30th in the NFL against TE, allowing over 20 fantasy points per game.

This game has a total hovering around 50 points, and Goedert has continued to deliver. He has 11+ DraftKings points in each of his last three games.

TJ Hockenson, Lions ($4,900 DraftKings, $7,000 FanDuel)

FanDuel and DraftKings were quick to make Hockenson the most expensive TE on the main slate, but this is again a slate missing Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews. I think he’s a decent fade in tournaments, as his game last week should see his ownership skyrocket.

However, this is actually a pretty good spot for Hock. The Patriots have allowed the most touchdowns in the NFL to opposing TE (5), and the Lions lead the NFL with 35 PPG. To me, playing or not playing Hock in tournaments comes down to the status of Amon-Ra St. Brown and DeAndre Swift. If both are out, you’ll need shares of him. If just Sun God sits, he’s viable as well.

Kyle Pitts, Falcons ($4,400 DraftKings, $5,600 FanDuel)

Here’s an idea. Let’s ignore last week’s debacle (one catch for 25 yards on four targets) and take advantage of some recency bias. The perfect time to target a player at low ownership is immediately after they disappoint. The DFS world is less than pleased with Pitts, and for good reason. But hear me out.

Cordarrelle Patterson has been placed on the IR, and Atlanta doesn’t truly have much experience in the backfield. The offense will be relying on their young duo of Pitts and Drake London against the Bucs.

Pitts only played 62% of the snaps last week, but had his highest rate of routes run on the season (92.3%). The Falcons are 8.5-point underdogs in a game with a total around 49. This is the perfect game script for Pitts and company to post some fantasy goodness. Tampa Bay has allowed the 2nd-most receptions to opposing TE this season. One time, Kyle. Let’s run it back.
