Overview

It’s somewhat unusual that National Tight End Day falls in Week 8, particularly with key players like Trey McBride, Brock Bowers, and Sam LaPorta on bye week. However, it presents an opportunity for lesser-known tight ends to shine this week.

Sleeper Tight Ends

1. Oronde Gadsden II commenced the week impressively against Minnesota, recording five receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown. He easily ranks among the top 15 tight ends to start this week.
2. Harold Fannin Jr., currently in Cleveland, is also on the radar as a possible starter.
3. Another great pick includes Dalton Schultz, showcasing solid performance metrics and positioning him for success in his upcoming matchup.

Matchup Considerations

With a favorable lineup ahead, these tight ends can play crucial roles for fantasy managers, especially as injuries plague key heavyweights. The upcoming matchups should deliver multiple successful outings, making fantasy management a critical factor this week.
