Top Tight End Plays
George Kittle, 49ers – The only thing that could hold Kittle back from having a multiple-touchdown game is that the Giants defensive line is so good that it might require him to block more than usual. That said, with all the injuries that San Francisco has on offense, Kittle will be a very big part of their passing attack and should have about 60 yards and at least one touchdown.
Brock Bowers, Raiders – It feels like weeks since we’ve mentioned Bowers’ name, which is sad considering he was the top tight end in Fantasy last season. He is practicing without restrictions, and he’s playing a Jaguars defense that has been very aggressive but not necessarily the best against opposing tight ends. Look for Bowers to put his stamp on this game with 80 yards receiving and a touchdown.
Jonnu Smith, Steelers – The Steelers desperately need to make a trade for another receiver as they just don’t have enough firepower in that area. The game against the Colts is one of the highest scoring games on the slate, and expect Aaron Rodgers to be slinging it in the second half. Jonnu has been underutilized this season, and if the Steelers want to win, they’re going to have to play better on offense than they’ve had in the last couple of weeks. Look for Jonnu to get 65 yards and a score.
Colston Loveland, Bears – There is no worse team in the NFL against opposing tight ends than the Cincinnati Bengals. They’ve let up double-digit touchdowns, and even Mason Taylor had a touchdown last week that Breece Hall threw to him. If Loveland gets the start, look for him to score and lock that one in Visionary Style.
