- The tight end position has produced an unusually deep pool, with 17 players averaging double-digit PPR points through three weeks—six averaging at least 14.8, six more between 12 and 14, and five more in double digits.
- Tyler Higbee sits on the waiver wire but is shaping up as a near must-start in Week 4, per the author, despite not yet cracking the double-digit-points club.
- Dalton Schultz draws a revenge-game matchup against the Cowboys, who have allowed six-plus catches and a touchdown to tight ends in two of three games; Schultz averaged eight-plus targets per game and saw eight targets in Week 1 with Nico Collins active.
- Travis Kelce is averaging an absurd 11.1 yards after catch per reception, while George Kittle played 85.2% of offensive snaps in Week 3, signaling he's fully back.
- Brock Bowers is already a top-12 tight end in targeted air yards after playing just one game, and Isaiah Likely's 28% target share trails only Trey McBride at the position.
- Juwan Johnson has run 106 routes—second most among tight ends behind McBride—while the Rams are targeting their tight ends on a league-high 33.3% of passes.
- Kyle Pitts has just 20 receiving yards through three games, a stat the author calls bewildering given his contract, and Colston Loveland's 10.1% target share is described as unplayable.
Why it matters: Fantasy managers sitting on two or three top-14 tight ends—often due to stashing Brock Bowers early—now have viable trade leverage rather than needing to start all of them, while Cowboys-facing Schultz offers a matchup-driven start with shootout potential and a revenge narrative.
