Week 9 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Sit 'Em

Mike Gesicki - Miami Dolphins vs. Chicago Bears

Mike Gesicki has been surging lately after a slow start to the 2022 NFL season. He has finished in the top ten in PPR points among tight ends in two of the last three weeks. He should still probably be avoided in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears, who rank in the top ten in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends.

Tyler Conklin - New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills

Tyler Conklin scored the most PPR points of all tight ends during Week 8. He bounced back in a big way after finishing outside the top 25 in each of the previous three weeks. He has also scored the sixth-most total fantasy points among tight ends this year. Week 9 presents a much more challenging matchup against the Buffalo Bills' top-ranked passing defense. It may be a tough day for quarterback Zach Wilson, which negatively affects Conklin's outlook this week.

Cade Otton - Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Los Angeles Rams

Tom Brady has always been known to target his tight ends often. This makes Cade Otton a solid streaming option in the right matchups. Week 9 is not one of them. The Los Angeles Rams have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends since acquiring Bobby Wagner during the offseason.
