Week 1 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Sit 'Em
Tight ends to avoid in Week 1 Fantasy Football.
Mike Gesicki - Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots
Mike Gesicki played a crucial role in the Miami Dolphins offense last season. However, the 2022 NFL season may present more of a challenge for him to find consistent production. The Dolphins added several pieces to their offense to compete for targets, including Tyreek Hill and Chase Edmonds.
Gesicki will open the 2022 season in a difficult matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 1. He struggled heavily against the Patriots last season, despite more targets being available. He recorded just two receptions for 22 yards combined across two games.
David Njoku - Cleveland Browns vs. Carolina Panthers
David Njoku could potentially see an increase in playing time during the 2022 NFL season following the departure of Austin Hooper. Consistent Fantasy Football production may still be difficult to come by as the Cleveland Browns prefer to operate out of a run-heavy offensive scheme. This is compounded by Deshaun Watson's suspension.
Njoku faces a tough challenge in Week 1 when the Browns take on the Carolina Panthers, who played extremely solid defense last season. They allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards per game, so the Browns are likely to lean on their rushing attack.
Tyler Higbee - Los Angeles Rams vs. Buffalo Bills
The Los Angeles Rams are one of the best offensive teams in the entire NFL. This means they are capable of producing many solid contributors in Fantasy Football as well, like other high-scoring offenses.
Despite the Rams' offensive success, Higbee failed to eclipse six receptions or 70 receiving yards in any game last year. That trend may continue in Week 1 of the 2022 Fantasy Football season, as the Rams take on the Buffalo Bills. The Bills had the top-ranked defense from a year ago and improved even further by adding Von Miller.
