After losing both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) to injury, the Bucs leaned heavily on tight end Cade Otton, who was the No. 1 tight end of the week, which included the ever-popular National Tight Ends Day on Sunday. The creator of the day, George Kittle delivered a big game of his own on Sunday Night Football, finishing behind only Otton with 27.8 fantasy points. Kittle and the 49ers are one of two teams on a by this week, so you will have to get creative if you’ve been playing Kittle every week.
Of the 30 teams in action, here are my top 10 tight ends for Week 9:
- Brock Bowers (at CIN)
- Cade Otton (at KC)
- Trey McBride (vs. CHI)
- Travis Kelce (vs. TB)
- Evan Engram (at PHI)
- David Njoku (vs. LAC)
- T.J. Hockenson (vs. IND)
- Cole Kmet (at ARI)
- Kyle Pitts (vs. DAL)
- Jake Ferguson (at ATL)
