Tight end is one of the most polarizing positions in fantasy football. Having one of the top options can pay off with massive point totals. However, almost all of them are also in danger of completely busting in any given week. This makes it extremely important to pay attention to matchups before deciding which tight end to plug into your fantasy lineup.
Week 8 of the 2022-23 NFL season features only two teams in a bye week. The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers are off this week and will have a major impact on fantasy rosters. Travis Kelce is currently the highest-scoring tight end in fantasy football this season, while Gerald Everett is currently ranked in the top 10.
