Ryan Tannehill

With Mahomes expected back, look for fireworks and Tannehill should see plenty of volume in this contest.

Sam Darnold

Darnold and the Jets are a mess and even with one of the best upcoming fantasy football schedules ever seen, it’s still hard to trust him. In a dream matchup vs. Miami in Week 9, Darnold only yielded 260 Yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. The Jets will see NYG, WAS, OAK, CIN & MIA in the coming weeks and we still can’t get behind him.

Ronald Jones

Top Priority Add – It’s possible that this timeshare is working itself out and with Jones receiving the start, obtaining adequate volume and producing, Ronald Jones should be locked in for Tampa going forward. Look for him to build in Week 10 against a light Arizona Defense.

Derrius Guice

Guice has been riddled with injuries since entering the league, but has been designated to return from IR in Week 11. He’s a nice stash, but it’s a likely continued split in Washington given his checkered past.

Kalen Ballage

Ballage will serve as the workhorse back in Miami after RB Mark Walton was popped with a 4-Game Suspension. Ballage is a desperation add with little to no upside. Plenty of bye weeks are coming up in Week 10 and 11 for fantasy owners, so take it for what it’s worth on this one.

JD McKissic

Tra Carson was sent to IR, leaving Ty Johnson and JD McKissic in the drivers seat. In a favorable matchup against Oakland on Sunday, McKissic totaled 7 Touches for 72 yards and 1 TD. Detroit will see a stout opponent in Chicago during Week 10, but opportunity exists if you are looking for a bye week body to flex into your lineup.

Trey Edmunds

If James Connor can’t go in Week 10 vs. LAR, Edmunds is recommended as he saw plenty of opportunity in Week 9. Edmunds saw 12 Rushing Attempts for 73 Yards, whereas Jaylen Samuels did next to nothing on the ground but totaled a molly-whopping 13 Receptions on 13 Targets for 73 Yards. This addition begins and ends with James Conner.

Devante Parker

Rookie WR Preston Williams will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury, leaving even more volume to funnel toward Devante Parker in Miami. Through the first 8 Games, Parker has averaged 6.5 Targets Per Game and has a TD in 4 of his last 5 Games. Losing Williams and Walton in the same week is a huge loss for an already miserable team, but this should make things even worse. Williams was averaging 7.5 Targets & 53 Yards Per Game.

Josh Reynolds

Brandin Cooks has a pretty sketchy history with concussions and currently has a grey outlook regarding a timetable to return to action. In Cooks absence, Reynolds saw heavy volume vs. Cincinnati and the timing of the bye week should help the late season transition into the offense. Similar to the situation last season with Kupp, Reynolds performed admirably and grabbing a piece of this offense is never a bad idea.

Zach Pascal

TY Hilton is expected to miss 3-4 Weeks with a calf injury and Pascal made the most of that opportunity, snatching 5 Receptions for 76 Yards and 1 TD. Expect that volume to only increase with a dream matchup vs. Miami in Week 10. Feel free to fire up Pascal as a WR3 in Week 10!

Matt Stafford

You might be able to catch fantasy owners sleeping here … With heavy bye weeks hitting this portion of the season along with Stafford sitting out Week 10, he may have been cast away to the waiver wire. One man’s trash becomes another man’s treasure … Stafford & Co. will see some extraordinary matchups over the next few weeks that make for strong spot plays – Washington (Week 12) & Tampa Bay (Week 15). Sign Me Up!

Nick Foles

Activated from IR and coming off of a bye week of preparation, Foles will face a light upcoming schedule against Indi, Tennessee, Tampa Bay, LAC, Oakland and Atlanta. We have literally seen nothing from Foles as a Jaguar … 8 Passing Attempts to be exact. You might want to see this one play out before inserting him as a starter, but given the upcoming schedule, he might get scooped up quickly with a strong game.

Brian Hill

With Ito Smith on IR and Devonta Freeman exiting Sunday’s game with an ankle injury, Hill entered heavy volume territory and saw 21 touches for 71 Yards and 1 TD. Hill should be considered a top waiver add this week and if Freeman is unable to play, Hill becomes a fantastic plug-n-play for fantasy owners in Week 11.

Derrius Guice

Guice was activated from IR last week and given how thin Washington is both offensively and at running back, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them utilize Guice right away. Guice has been plagued with injuries over the course of his NFL Career and this is a situation where we believe Washington will want to see what they have in Guice to finish off an already lost season.

JD McKissic

McKissic has proven to be the most viable RB in Detroit in Kerryon Johnson’s absence and this volume should look to improve given Ty Johnson landing a concussion in Week 10. Over the past two weeks, McKissic has added it in both the rushing and receiving game, totaling 72 Yards in Week 9 and 55 Yards in Week 10. Consider McKissic a nice bye week replacement for fantasy owners.

Wayne Gallman

Consider this one a precautionary move as Barkey finished the game with a poor box score combined with a trip to the locker room for x-rays on his shoulder. How terrible of a box score? Try 13 Rushing Attempts for 1 Yard & 5 Receptions for 30 Yards. The The 2-8 Giants hit their bye week at a perfect time and gives Barkley ample time to heal up from whatever ailing led to that performance. Things tighten up over the next few weeks, but the Giants have a light fantasy playoff schedule against Philly, Miami and Washington.

Darius Slayton

Just when people threaten to pull the nickname Danny Dimes, he goes out and tosses 4 more TDs with 2 TDs funneling to Darius Slayton. The Rd. 5 Rookie finished the day with 10 Receptions on 14 Targets for 121 Yards and 2 TDs, bringing season totals up to 5 TDs on the season! The Giants hit a welcomed bye week in Week 11, but will see a cake walk schedule during the fantasy playoffs against Philly, Miami and Washington.

Cole Beasley

Beasley … Lol. He’s just that guy you love to see you’re playing against when you look at your opponent matchup for the week, but hate the guy after he drops in 10-15 Fantasy Points against you! Beasley has been so consistent this year for fantasy owners, is coming off of a three-game consecutive touchdown streak and is averaging approximately 47 Yards Per Game. His ceiling isn’t high, but offers steady production for fantasy owners and also will face a porous Miami Defense in Week 11.

Auden Tate

Is AJ Green ever coming back? Tate hopes not as he continues his 2019 campaign. From Weeks 2-10, Tate is averaging 60 Yards Per Game, has survived a rotisserie at WR and multiple QBs this season. Big games and TDs are tough to come by in Cincinnati, but Tate should be viewed as a mid-tier bye week replacement for fantasy owners looking for production and offers decent streamer appeal against Oakland in Week 11.

Gerald Everett

It was a really weird fantasy week. Saquan Barkley had 1 Rushing Yard and Cooper Kupp was shut-out! Road Goff isn’t a fun experience to trust, but Everett delivered in this one totaling 8 Receptions on 12 Targets for 68 Yards! Everett should be considered a back end TE1 for the remainder of the season.

Dallas Goedert

The Eagles face New England in Week 11 and we would hit snooze on that one, but Goedert is a viable TE to own for the remainder of the season. Over his last 5 contests, Goedert is averaging 5 Targets Per Game, 35 YPG and also has 3 TDs within that span.

OJ Howard

Dare we say it? For starters, Arizona yields the most Fantasy PPG to opposing TEs and Howard had his best game of the year with 47 Yards and 1 TD (1st TD of 2019). Howard is destined to break hearts because the Week 11 matchup will be less forgiving against a tough New Orleans Defense.

11. Noah Fant

Fant is a talented young TE, but we are concerned about a lack of volume, QB Drew Lock and an upgraded offense that has added Melvin Gordon, Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler to an already talented cast. Last season, Fant totaled 40 Receptions on 65 Targets, 562 Yards and 3 TD. Fant should see an uptick in production, but not enough to allow him to cut deeply into the Top 10 amongst Fantasy TEs.

12. Jared Cook

Cook surprised fantasy owners in 2019 with 705 Yards and 9 TDs! Incredibly efficient, Cook produced big numbers with only 43 Receptions! To expect comparable efficiency in 2020 is unrealistic and the addition of Emmanuel Sanders will likely add to Cook’s lower volume numbers. Cook is being drafted at his ceiling and the likelihood of returning to 2019 glory will be a treacherous journey!

13. Dallas Goedert

Goedert was a shot in the arm for fantasy owners in 2019 starving for production. The Philly TE totaled 58 Receptions on 87 Targets, 607 Yards and 5 TDs! Trailing Ertz, Goedert actually finished 2nd on the team in Receptions, Targets, Yards and TDs in 2019. Goedert was able to advance due to a number of injuries in Philly and the return of DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffrey and Jalen Reagor will make 2020 a cloudy ride for the 3rd Year TE. We expect production, but a major jump forward compared to last season will be a tall task for the 3rd Year TE. Goedert should sit in the back-end TE1/TE2 range, but possesses Top 10 upside if Ertz misses time.

14. Hayden Hurst

The hype for Hayden Hurst is through the roof as he enters year one in ATL. The former 2018 1st round pick played the previous two seasons as the TE2 in Baltimore behind Mark Andrews and has never played more than 58% of the snaps during his 30 game career. Matt Ryan recently expressed his enthusiasm for the skill set of Hayden Hurst, noting his athleticism. With the departure of Davonta Freeman and Austin Hooper the Falcons lose the 4th most Targets heading into 2020. Matt Ryan heads into this season with continuity in Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley along with the same Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator.

Since Tony Gonzalez finished TE4 in 2013, no ATL TE has finished better than TE7 (Austin Hooper finished TE7 in both 2018 and 2019.) That being said, a top 12 Fantasy finish seems highly unlikely for a Tight End who has zero rapport with his QB while fighting for major targets with top playmakers (Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Todd Gurley) with no time to prepare due to the Covid Off-season.

15. Mike Gesicki

Like Hurst, the 3rd year TE has been in every sleeper conversation this summer. Gesicki ended 2019 as the 12th best Tight End, but now enters a Chan Gailey Offense where TE’s (outside of Tony Gonzalez) have struggled.

Here’s a look at TE Targets during Chan Gailey’s coaching regime since 2000.
2000: 31
2001: 28
2008: 1st
2010: 32
2011: 29
2012: 29
2015: 32
2016: 32

The talent during the majority of these years is very questionable TE talent, but it’s still very alarming to see numbers like this while banking on a breakout TE! Additionally, many feel huge breakouts on the horizon for other Miami players like Preston Williams, Jordan Howard. Matt Breida while DaVante Parker still plays at high volume/efficiency. This is still a below average Miami Dolphins team and we should keep our expectations in check! Gesicki should be considered a TE2 with high potential.

16. Jack Doyle

With Ebron now in PIT, Doyle remains the clear Tight End in a user friendly Frank Reich offense. This combined with Philip Rivers who has leaned on previous Tight Ends (Gates/Henry) should bode well for the 30 year old in 2020. At his current ADP, Doyle should be considered a fringe TE2 with high volatility.

17. TJ Hockenson

After exploding out of the gates for 131 Yards and 1 TD in Week 1, Hockenson was a MAJOR disappointment in 2019 totaling only 367 Yards and 2 TDs on the year! In fact, Hockenson only had “3” Games over +40 Yards in 2019. We are hitting snooze on Hockenson in 2020 and you should too!
