Week 9 Tight End Streamers For Fantasy Football: Greg Dulcich & More

Welcome to Week 9, and it’s starting to get serious in those fantasy streets. Teams are really starting to separate themselves. And if you’re looking to make a charge for the playoffs, we’ll ride shotgun with you. We also get a bit of a break on the teams on bye, as Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington have at least been occasional fantasy starters. But we can always use a temporary upgrade for a week or more.

Let’s get into some streamers. As always with tight ends, we’ll mine the fantasy football rankings for players outside the top 12. Make sure to check out our fantasy football projections to get further confirmation why these players are targets. Lastly, all stats versus each position group listed below are from our wonderful DvP tool and any utilization data came from our UR Score.

Tight End Streamers For Week 9

Greg Dulcich | Dolphins vs. Lions

These picks aren’t always as pretty as Dulcich’s sweet, sweet hair, but look at the matchup. The Lions are far and away the best target for TEs, allowing 23.6 FPG to the position. That’s more than 6 points beyond second place. Dulcich has at least 5 targets in four of his past five games, so he could pay off in a pinch.

Tyler Higbee | Rams at Commanders

Forget about the game a few weeks ago when Davis Allen popped for 2 TDs. Higbee is the TE to roster in this offense. He ran 73% of routes, though that resulted in just 2 targets. No other Rams TE was on the field nearly as much. With the Commanders the team allowing the second-most fantasy points to TEs at 17.5, I’ll still take the TE getting the most playing time.

Mason Taylor | Jets at Chiefs

That 5-62-2 stat line from Week 7 feels like a long time ago. Though he posted only a 3-19-0 line this past Sunday, he still led the Jets’ TEs in route participation (62%) the past two weeks. The Chiefs are allowing 14.3 FPG, which is fifth most in the league. With the game in KC, and the Jets likely chasing points all afternoon, Taylor should see some targets during catchup ball.
