Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 8: Tight end rankings

Week 8 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Sit 'Em

Robert Tonyan - Green Bay Packers vs. Buffalo Bills

Green Bay Packers TE Robert Tonyan

Robert Tonyan has finished in the top 10 in PPR scoring for tight ends just once this season. He has also finished 20th or worse four times this season. He will likely need to score a touchdown in Week 8 to be useful in Fantasy Football.

It won't be easy against the Buffalo Bills' stout passing defense. They have ranked in the top three in three of the last four seasons. They have also been particularly good against tight ends this year. The Bills have allowed zero touchdowns to tight ends so far this season.

Evan Engram - Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Denver Broncos

Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram

Evan Engram has been more involved in the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense in recent weeks. He has been targeted by Trevor Lawrence 23 times in his last three games, recording 40 or more receiving yards in all of them.

While Engram has finished as a top 10 Fantasy Football tight end in two of his last three games, he is probably better off avoided in Week 8. The Jaguars game against the Denver Broncos is projected to be low-scoring, limiting Engram's opportunities. The Broncos also rank in the top 10 in fantasy points allowed to tight ends.

Dawson Knox - Buffalo Bills vs. Green Bay Packers

Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox

Dawson Knox has become a bit of an afterthought in the Buffalo Bills' high-powered passing offense. He currently ranks fifth on the team in total targets, trailing all three of their top wide receivers as well as Devin Singletary.

Knox ranks just 26th in total Fantasy Football points among all tight ends. While playing in the Bulls offense offers plenty of upside, Knox has been able to carve out a large piece of it.
