Fantasy Football Player Notes

Week 4 Rankings

Position

Team

Scoring

Mark Andrews Note
	1. Mark Andrews BAL (vs . BUF) Mark Andrews doesn't just lead all tight ends in target share...he leads the ENTIRE NFL through three weeks with an absurd 37% target share. A banged up Bills secondary won't have many answers for stopping the No.1 overall-ranked tight end for Week 4. 22 hours ago

Travis Kelce Note
	2. Travis Kelce KC (at TB) With a rebuilt wide receiver unit, Kelce has predictably been the top pass catcher for the Chiefs this year, ranking No. 1 on the team with 24 targets, 17 receptions, 230 yards receiving and two touchdowns and No. 2 at the position with 12.4 fantasy points per game. Good matchup, bad matchup, it doesn't matter. You're starting Kelce. He's a top-two fantasy tight end each week, and the gap between him and the guys vying for the No. 3 spot is massive. 22 hours ago

Darren Waller Note
	3. Darren Waller LV (vs . DEN) Waller is the No. 2 tight end with 198 air yards, and he has had a steady 5-8 targets in each game. With Adams on the team, Waller no longer has the outrageous target ceiling he exhibited periodically in the 2019-21 campaigns, but he has a reasonable floor, as the Broncos are without Pro-Bowl S Justin Simmons (quad, IR) and rank No. 8 in most fantasy points allowed to tight ends (12.5). As always, Waller is a high-end TE1. 22 hours ago

Kyle Pitts Note
	4. Kyle Pitts ATL (vs . CLE) Pitts finally exploded like Njoku in Week 3. He finished the week second in target share (42.1%), third in receiving yards, and second in air yard share (52.9%) as the TE6 in fantasy. Pitts has the talent, if featured, to dominate any matchup. The Browns are 12th in DVOA against tight ends, but Pitts is a glorified slot receiver (40.7%) who also runs nearly 28% of his routes on the perimeter (27.5%). He'll see Ward and Emerson outside and Greg Newsome in the slot. Newsome has allowed a 64.7% catch rate and 111.6 passer rating. Pitts remains a top-five tight end. 22 hours ago

George Kittle Note
	5. George Kittle SF (vs . LAR)

Dallas Goedert Note
	6. Dallas Goedert PHI (vs . JAC) Pay no attention to Dallas Goedert's mediocre snap share (64%) or route participation (56%) from Week 3. He missed a portion of the game dealing with a shin injury. He remains one of the few trustworthy tight ends in fantasy football as a player running a route on nearly 90% of Jalen Hurts' dropbacks. He has yet to finish worse than TE13 this season. 22 hours ago

Zach Ertz Note
	7. Zach Ertz ARI (at CAR) Zach Ertz remains a weekly fantasy TE1. His route participation (87%) and target volume (10 in Week 3) are elite and I'd argue he's overdue to score. Ertz has just one TD score this season, despite commanding 8 red-zone targets so far. 22 hours ago

T.J. Hockenson Note
	8. T.J. Hockenson DET (vs . SEA) If you have Hockenson, there's no reason that you should be looking towards the waiver wire for an alternative despite his lackluster start to the season. His 70%-plus route participation easily helps him separate from the majority of tight ends across the NFL and he's playing in a game that projects to be high-scoring, suggesting he has a solid chance of scoring. Not to mention, he still owns a more than acceptable 17% target share on the year and Seattle's defense has allowed the 3rd-most receiving yards to tight ends this season. 22 hours ago

Tyler Higbee Note
	9. Tyler Higbee LAR (at SF)

David Njoku Note
	10. David Njoku CLE (at ATL) David Njoku finally exploded as an integral part of this passing attack in Week 3. He finished the week third among tight ends in target share (32.3%) and fourth in air yard share (22.2%). He saw an 81.8% route run rate and now sits at fourth in yards per route run among tight ends. He gets another sweet matchup to continue the breakout train this week. Atlanta is 24th in DVOA against tight ends allowing the fourth-most receptions and receiving yards. Njoku is a top-ten tight end this week with top-five upside. 22 hours ago

Gerald Everett Note
	11. Gerald Everett LAC (at HOU) The Chargers free agent acquisition has been a pleasant surprise so far this season, with his high end route participation (72%) and target share (16%). Assuming that Justin Herbert is back to his former self, fantasy managers should have confidence going back to Everett as a backend fantasy TE1. 22 hours ago

Pat Freiermuth Note
	12. Pat Freiermuth PIT (vs . NYJ) After a disappearing act last Thursday night, I expect Pat Freiermuth to get back on track. He still owns a 20% target share on the year which ranks 5th among TEs this season. 22 hours ago

Dawson Knox Note
	13. Dawson Knox BUF (at BAL) Knox owns just a 9% target share on the season. The Bills tight end is nothing more than a boom-bust TD-reliant asset at this point. His route participation isn't elite as it was last season and his target rate per route run dipped under 10% in Week 3. 22 hours ago

Robert Tonyan Note
	14. Robert Tonyan GB (vs . NE)

Tyler Conklin Note
	15. Tyler Conklin NYJ (at PIT) There's a chance that Conklin fails to keep up his unbelievable pace from the start of the season, if the Jets do indeed take the air out of the ball and dial back the pass attempts. His role as the primary pass-catching tight end in the Jets offense doesn't project to change even with C.J. Uzomah back in the fold, but expecting him to see seven-plus targets for a fourth straight week is probably not smart. He's fine as a streamer off waivers if you don't have another option based on his 17% target share and top-12 route participation. And I will say the matchup versus Pittsburgh does seem to favor the burly tight end as two TEs the Steelers have faced this season (Hayden Hurst, David Njoku) both averaged nine targets. 22 hours ago

Irv Smith Jr. Note
	16. Irv Smith Jr. MIN (at NO) While Smith has seen his route run rate climb to 60.4% over the last two weeks with a 17.1% target share, with this matchup against the Saints, he's nothing more than a TE2. New Orleans has been tough against tight ends for multiple seasons, and 2022 isn't any different. They are third in DVOA against the position with the fourth-fewest receptions and second-lowest receiving yards allowed. 22 hours ago

Evan Engram Note
	17. Evan Engram JAC (at PHI) I've echoed my praise for the Eagles cornerbacks. And that means if the Jaguars are to have a chance at winning this football game, Evan Engram needs to deliver. The ex-Giants tight end looked like a prime streamer entering Week 3, but flamed out with one catch for nine yards. However, he caught a 2-point conversion and came extremely close to converting his end-zone target into a score, but failed to get his feet inbounds. We can't just completely write him off in an ascending offense with a season-long 15% target share and his high-end 80% route participation, which is a top-10 mark at the position. Especially with the Eagles strong cornerbacks likely forcing Lawrence to target his tight end more than last week. 22 hours ago

Hayden Hurst Note
	18. Hayden Hurst CIN (vs . MIA) Hurst is a decent streaming option again this week who could find himself inside the top 12 in Week 4. After tanking last week with a 5.6% target share and 2.9% of the air yards, Hurst has fallen to TE23 in fantasy points per game. 21 hours ago

Logan Thomas Note
	19. Logan Thomas WAS (at DAL) Thomas is a TE2 who hasn't seen his route run rate increase as I hoped. He's remained in the 54.5-62.5% range in every game. With his 11.0% target share (22nd) and tough matchup (Dallas ninth in DVOA) upcoming, Thomas is a desperation streamer only. The Cowboys rank 18th in receptions allowed to tight ends, but they've held them to the third-lowest receiving yardage total. 22 hours ago

Juwan Johnson Note
	20. Juwan Johnson NO (vs . MIN)

Dalton Schultz Note
	21. Dalton Schultz DAL (vs . WAS) Continue to monitor practice reports, and I'll include him in my Friday update. I doubt he plays this week. If he is out, don't consider any tight ends from Dallas for your fantasy starting lineup. In Week 3, they evenly split routes between Peyton Hendershot and Jake Ferguson. 22 hours ago

Albert Okwuegbunam Note
	22. Albert Okwuegbunam DEN (at LV) A hyped late-round sleeper in fantasy drafts, Okwuegbunam has disappointed this year. He's No. 2 on the Broncos with 78 routes -- but No. 4 with 10 targets, which he has "leveraged" into 6-45-0 receiving. The Raiders are No. 6 in most fantasy points allowed to tight ends (13.8 per game), so he has some theoretical upside, but Okwuegbunam is impossible to trust as anything more than a grasping TE2. 22 hours ago

Mike Gesicki Note
	23. Mike Gesicki MIA (at CIN) Gesicki isn't playable with his current snap rate. In Week 3, he only handled a 5% target share with a 31.8% route run rate. Sadly this isn't far off his full season marks of 5% and 50%. Bench him until these rates climb (if they do). 22 hours ago

Cole Kmet Note
	24. Cole Kmet CHI (at NYG) Kmet finally saw nice usage in Week 3 - 80% route participation - but did nothing in the stat sheet because of the lack of passing attempts in the offense. Nobody in the Bears passing game can be played in fantasy lineups until we see a willingness or signal that they will throw more. It's really that simple. 22 hours ago

Hunter Henry Note
	25. Hunter Henry NE (at GB)

Cameron Brate Note
	26. Cameron Brate TB (vs . KC) Brate has 11 targets on the year -- and that's with the Buccaneers running thin at wide receiver. Yeah, no thanks. 22 hours ago

Noah Fant Note
	27. Noah Fant SEA (at DET) Yawn. Noah Fant was out-snapped by Will Dissly in Week 3 and ran a route on just 50% of Geno Smith's dropbacks. It's horrible usage for a tight end, making Fant unplayable in fantasy football. 22 hours ago

Will Dissly Note
	28. Will Dissly SEA (at DET)

Isaiah Likely Note
	29. Isaiah Likely BAL (vs . BUF)

Jonnu Smith Note
	30. Jonnu Smith NE (at GB)

Austin Hooper Note
	31. Austin Hooper TEN (at IND)

Mo Alie-Cox Note
	32. Mo Alie-Cox IND (vs . TEN)

Harrison Bryant Note
	33. Harrison Bryant CLE (at ATL)

Foster Moreau Note
	34. Foster Moreau LV (vs . DEN) After doing nothing in Week 1 (zero targets, 31% snap rate), Moreau had 6-74-0 receiving on nine targets and a 56% snap rate in Weeks 2-3. That's not much, but to the desperado even an empty gun can be a weapon. Moreau is an aspirational low-end TE2. 22 hours ago

Daniel Bellinger Note
	35. Daniel Bellinger NYG (vs . CHI) The Giants rookie tight end caught four of his five targets on Monday night, but only ran a route on 47% of Daniel Jones' dropbacks. 22 hours ago

Taysom Hill Note
	36. Taysom Hill NO (vs . MIN)
