Forever and Everett: The Tight End Report Week 2
Image Credit: Jevone Moore/Icon Sportswire. Pictured: Gerald Everett.

Football happened. Week 1 is in the books. Half of the fantasy football-playing population hates their teams and their choices leading up to the start of the games. The other half are positively cockahoop and feel untouchable. But the race is long and is by no means already run.

Tight end was, as usual, a sight to behold in fantasy terms. We saw Travis Kelce remind the world that he is still the top dog in KC. Taysom Hill continues to baffle and tease fantasy managers as we cannot adequately explain his usage. O.J. Howard returned from the wilderness to post a stat line that saw him finish as the overall TE2 despite seeing just two targets. In an uncertain world, it’s nice to rely on the inevitable uncertainty of fantasy sports’ most toxic spot.

Below you will see all the key production stats from the TE spot for this past week. Also, because we’re just that kind of generous around these parts, we shall offer three viable options to plug in and play this week if you find yourself in need of help. I’m looking at you, George Kittle managers. These players are available in over 50% of ESPN leagues. So there’s a good chance you can secure them if you move quickly enough.

Let’s get into it.

Lead Writer, soft spot for the tight end position. Will never stop loving Duke Johnson.

Irv Smith Won’t Be A Target Hog With the Bengals, But He Still Can Provide Some Fantasy Juice

The Cincinnati Bengals added to their high-powered offense on Monday, signing tight end Irv Smith Jr to a one-year “prove it” deal. Smith had spent the first four seasons of his career as a member of the Minnesota Vikings. Two injury-wrecked seasons plus the addition of T.J. Hockenson during the 2022 campaign all but ensured Smith would be looking for new digs in 2023. At…...

Dalton Schultz Stays in Texas, but Will He Be Fantasy Relevant on the Texans?

Dalton Schultz played out the 2022 season on the franchise tag for the Dallas Cowboys. This status did not lead to a long-term pact between the two, and with free agency a week-old Schultz finally found a home for 2023. But there is a chance it is only for 2023. Schultz inked a one-year, $9m deal with the Houston Texans, becoming the second 2022 tagged…...

Will Landing on the Panthers Resurrect Adam Thielen’s Fantasy Appeal?

Nine seasons after signing with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent, Adam Thielen was released by the team just over a week ago. Thielen was not out of work for long, however. The Carolina Panthers signed the wide receiver to a three-year, $25 million contract on Sunday. Thielen’s production has dropped significantly in recent years. Few would suggest that he is among the…...
