BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Eric Ebron had the best game of his short career this past Sunday, as he caught five passes for 89 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings.

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 8 Pickups and Adds

Fantasy owners are going to be without Washington’s Jordan Reed, Buffalo’s Charles Clay, Jacksonville’s Julius Thomas and Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz this week. That’s a lot of receptions, yards and touchdowns to lose as fantasy teams enter the meat of their seasons. There is variety when it comes to some of the available tight ends on […]

Is Benjamin Watson The New Jimmy Graham?

Fantasy owners knew at the start of the season that someone would step up on the Saints to fill the humongous void at tight end left behind by fantasy demigod Jimmy Graham. But most assumed it would be third-year whipper-snapper Josh Hill becoming Drew Brees’s top tight end. Instead, Hill has seven catches for 61 […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 7 Pickups and Adds

No Tyler Eifert, no Martellus Bennett, no Richard Rodgers…no problem? Four more teams are on bye this week, so fantasy owners are scrambling like Russell Wilson to fill in their blanks at the tight end position.  And with Eifert (342 yards, six TD), Bennett (292 yards, two TD) and Rodgers (189, two TD) having the […]

Zach Ertz Could be Turning a Corner

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Zach Ertz has still not scored a touchdown, and is averaging just three receptions and 32 yards per game.

Jacob Tamme Developing Chemistry with Matt Ryan

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jacob Tamme outperformed Julio Jones against the Redskins, by catching eight passes for 94 yards. Tamme had a 77-yard game two weeks ago against the Giants that included a sweet 41-yard reception, so this 94-yard effort did not come completely out of nowhere. Atlanta […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 6 Pickups and Adds

Jason Witten owners are hanging their heads this week.  The Dallas Cowboys are on bye, which means Witten and his 30 receptions, 271 yards and two touchdowns cannot be used.  Luckily he is the only major tight end on bye this week. There are three tight ends available on most waiver wires this week that […]

Clay Harbor: Deep League Tight End Option in Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville’s offense is not being confused with Mike Martz’s “Greatest Show on Turf” teams these days, but the Jags’ young kids are beginning to show signs that they are headed in the right direction. While defenses focus the bulk of their attention […]

Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) Could Be Gold vs 49ers in Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Giants tight end has not been the fantasy force he was in 2014 when he came out of oblivion to rack up 63 receptions for 623 yards and six touchdowns.  This season has been an entirely different story, […]

Coby Fleener (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 63% of Fleaflicker Leagues Who would have guessed that Matt Hasselbeck could be better for a tight end’s fantasy value than Andrew Luck?  It seems to be the case for Fleener, even though he and Luck have been teammates for years between their times together at […]
