Fantasy Football Week 1 Tight End Start/Sit Recommendations
The NFL's first Sunday of the season is approaching, prompting fantasy football players to make crucial start or sit decisions for their lineups. Utilizing tools like Who Should I Start? and My Playbook can help players receive tailored advice and analysis.
Fantasy expert Derek Brown provides insights on several tight ends for Week 1. Brenton Strange, who had a breakout season last year, may be a reliable option against Cleveland, which struggled against tight ends. Dalton Kincaid is anticipated to play a significant role in Buffalo's offense, especially given Houston's defensive weaknesses against tight ends. Juwan Johnson, coming off a strong season, could also deliver TE1 numbers against Detroit.
Dallas Goedert, who finished as a top-six tight end last year, faces a Washington defense that has improved but previously allowed significant fantasy points to tight ends. Isaiah Likely, now with the Giants, is expected to be a key player in their passing game. Jake Ferguson is projected to be a consistent red zone target for Dallas, while Michael Mayer will step up in the absence of Brock Bowers. Travis Kelce remains a solid option despite signs of declining efficiency. Harold Fannin Jr. and Tucker Kraft are also discussed, with Kraft's potential limited by a tough matchup. Lastly, T.J. Hockenson and Dalton Schultz are advised to be benched due to challenging matchups against strong defenses.
