I always enjoy checking out the non-PPR tight end leaders from the previous week because there is always something odd to contemplate. This week we saw George Kittle and Travis Kelce at 1 and 2 on the list, which feels like old times, but the next two are both Chargers tight ends and neither is the starter Jared Cook. Cook himself, he ranks 11th. So, I guess you just need to play Chargers tight ends in fantasy and you’re good to go.
Injury news
Noah Fant, Broncos — Fant is close to returning from the COVID-19 list and should be back for Week 10.
Logan Thomas, Washington — Thomas has a chance to return from I.R. and play this week. If so, Ricky Seals-Jones goes back to the the fantasy free agency pool.
Rob Gronkowski, Buccaneers — Gronk is dealing with a back injury and is uncertain for this week.
Jonnu Smith, Patriots — Smith hurt his shoulder in Week 9 and couldn’t return to the game. If he can’t play this week, Hunter Henry gets a boost.
Bye weeks
The Bears, Bengals, Texans, and Giants are on a Week 10 bye.
