TE Notes: Ok, Brock Bowers we “see you.” I love Trey McBride, but … Bowers is genuinely “built different.” … It looks like George Kittle’s achilles’ injury never happened. I was about to say that’s not the outcome I expected, but frankly, it was. Like Bowers, Kittle has just always been a different kind of dude. Also like Bowers, Kittle is close to the only game in town for his undermanned skill corps. … Dalton Kincaid had a bad game. It came as the rest of the Bills did, too. It also came as coach Joe Brady dialed up an unseemly -12 percent pass rate over expected vs. the helpless Chargers. Admittedly, there’s a risk he does the same thing against the foundering Patriots, but Kincaid isn’t leaving TE1 spots at this point. …. It’s been a wild ride getting there, but Travis Kelce is second only to Kincaid in tight end yardage. Kelce no longer has the highest floor in fantasy football to go along with a sky-high ceiling. He does have just enough that you don’t even really think about subbing him out of your starting lineup.
Tucker Kraft is one of many name brand “slow starters” at the tight end position. We are keeping the faith because of the Packers’ scarily-condensed target tree and a plus Week 4 date with the hollowed-out Bucs. … The good news: Colston Loveland had by far his most productive game against the Eagles. The bad: It was still bad. The worse: It looks like another week of Case Keenum/Tyson Bagent. Loveland buttered his 2025 bread on Caleb Williams “explosives.” The Jets are not a concerning Week 4 matchup, but Loveland is rather improbably already in “prove it” territory, a proposition that will be difficult to accomplish without Williams in the lineup. … Kenyon Sadiq is who we’ve always wanted Kyle Pitts to be? It’s possible. One good game with AD Mitchell missing isn’t enough to install Sadiq in the top 12, but he has proven he needs to be 100 percent rostered. … Harold Fannin needed to show something about the Panthers. He did so by doubling his season catch total (seven) and scoring his first two touchdowns. With Deshaun Watson predictably turning into a check-down machine, Fannin will hopefully further stabilize in the TE10-12 range before perhaps making a run at TE6-8 status.
As feared, Isaiah Likely’s usage floor has nosedived without Jaxson Dart. The Giants’ overall dearth of reliable targets keeps Likely hanging around the top 12, but this is sadly looking like it is destined to become another “what might have been?” campaign for Likely. … Michael Penix Jr.’s return was not enough to revive a moribund Kyle Pitts. Penix did instantly revive his connection with Drake London to the tune of 9/194. Penix has always preferred London, but it’s also a small-sample size. The Falcons’ more competent quarterback play should be enough to eventually stabilize Pitts somewhere in the TE8-14 range. … Oronde Gadsden left fantasy managers with a horrifying Week 3 zero. Coach Jim Harbaugh made it clear on Monday that the team is in evaluation mode heading into Week 4 — aka, they will take all the in-house help they can get — but Gadsden was already on the wrong side of Harbaugh’s line and his awful drop against the Bills probably made matters worse. … Tyler Higbee remains strangely inevitable for the Rams. With Terrance Ferguson (ankle) out, Higbee is probably worth a TE2 dart throw if Puka Nacua (ankle) sits again.
