On November 8, 2024By Littum

The Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raidersand Seattle Seahawks is on the byes this week, which means fantasy tight end owners may suffer Brock Bowers, David Njokuand Tucker Kraft will have to look elsewhere for production.

The tight end position delivered a historic performance on “National Tight Ends Day” just two weeks ago, but they came back down to Earth in Week 9. Fantasy players are hoping their tight ends will repeat the success of Week 8 in Week 10.

Fantasy teams constantly face tough starting-sit decisions for their tight ends. Week 10 gives your team another opportunity to make a statement and push for the playoffs.

Here’s a breakdown of who to start and who to sit at tight end in Week 10 of the fantasy football season.

Fantasy football starts them: Week 10 TEs

Mark AndrewsRavens (vs. Bengals)

Let’s kick things off with “Thursday Night Football” in Week 10. Fantasy owners likely drafted Mark Andrews in the early rounds and have been disappointed by his production. Those same owners have tried to find other options at tight end, but this week, start Andrews. The Ravens host the Bengals in Week 10, and Andrews’ role in the offense has stabilized over the past month.

Cincinnati has allowed the sixth most fantasy points per game. game to opposing tight ends and is tied for the second most touchdowns allowed to the position. Andrews broke out of his early season slump in Week 5 when the Ravens played the Bengals. Last week, the Ravens made quick work of the Broncos in a blowout, and the game flow did not favor the veteran tight end. According to FTNThe Bengals rank 25th in total defensive DVOA. In the past, Andrews has lit up the Cincy defense, scoring a touchdown and finishing with at least 50 yards in three of the last five matchups.

Dalton KincaidBills (vs. Colts)

The Bills’ second-year tight end hasn’t delivered the elite production fantasy owners who drafted him hoped for in 2024. He’s finished as a top-10 tight end just twice through the season’s first nine games. However, Buffalo travels to Indy to play the Colts in Week 10, and the matchup is juicy. Gus Bradley’s defense is always vulnerable in the middle, shallow areas of the field. Indy has given up the fifth-most fantasy points per game. play tight ends. They are tied with the Chiefs for most receptions allowed at the position.

Keon Coleman and Amari Cooper are dealing with wrist injuries and could be out or limited. Khalil Shakir is a steady scoring option, but Kincaid is slowly climbing the scoring chart in Buffalo. He led the team with 10 goals last week against Miami. Kincaid has a chance to post his best numbers this season on Sunday.

TJ HockensonVikings (vs. Jaguars)

The Vikings will be on the road in Week 10 against the rebounding Jaguars. On “Sunday Night Football” last week, Minnesota regained their star tight end for the first time in 2024. If you’re playing Hockenson, you should start him this week against the Jaguars.

The 27-year-old tight end had a career-best season before his injury last season. Despite reports suggesting he would be full speed after his return, Josh Oliver knocked him out. Hockenson’s workload should increase weekly, and the game against Jacksonville is too good to ignore. The Jags have allowed the seventh-most points per game to tight ends. Fantasy owners likely drafted or picked up Hockenson off waivers in hopes of landing a top-10 player at the position; he will deliver that from this Sunday.

Kyle PittsFalcons (vs. Saints)

Some fantasy football owners are looking for reasons to give up on the Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pittsand his one catch, 11-yard performance in Week 9 may be why. However, he currently ranks as the seventh overall scoring tight end through the first nine gamesex, and the addition of Kirk Cousins under center has fueled the Pitts most weeks.

Drake London was injured last week and could be limited in Week 10. Atlanta will battle the Saints, who allowed multiple splash plays to Panthers rookie tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders last Sunday and allowed the ninth-most yards to the position in this season. Back in Week 4, Pitts posted a shutout against the Saints, but is looking for a bounce-back after finishing with double-digit fantasy points in four just prior to his Week 9 dud.

Fantasy football sit ’em: Week 10 TEs

Zach ErtzCommanders (vs. Steelers)

The Washington Commanders will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. Veteran tight end Ertz is coming off his worst performance of the season. He saw his snap share dip below 50% for the first time all season as rookie Ben Sinnott continues to see increased playing time.

The Steelers pass defense has been strong, allowing the seventh fewest receiving yards to opposing tight ends. With TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith screaming off the edges, Ertz may be tasked with getting more pass-blocking help than usual. Sit Ertz on Sunday.

Hunter HenrikPatriots (vs. Bears)

The New England Patriots face the Chicago Bears on the road in Week 10. The veteran tight end has been a solid streaming option this season, but he should be benched this week. Patriots no. 3 total choices, Drake Mayehas been impressive in his first three healthy NFL starts. You can feel confident that you can safely insert Henry back into the lineup this week, but he’s not in a good position.

Henry is New England’s leading receiver and has run the most routes for the team this season, but the Patriots’ offensive line will be a problem again on the road. In Week 9, the Titans recorded 29 pressures on Maye, more than doubling their last season high of 13. The Bears’ pass defense has been strong. Chicago has a fast defense, with its head off Tremaine Edmunds at linebacker. Sit Henry this week.
