The tight end position has been one of the greatest letdowns for fantasy football in 2024. The only differentiator between TE1’s and the rest is touchdowns. Volume has been down, and offenses have been scoring lower than they have been for years, leaving scraps for tight ends, which had a tremendous resurgence just last season.
When looking at this group, you will need to monitor the injuries of both Sam LaPorta (Ankle) and Trey McBride (Concussion). Outside of those two, the two players I am watching this week are Dallas Goedert and Cole Kmet. Goedert could be the go-to option for an Eagles offense without AJ Brown and potentially DeVonta Smith, as the latter is currently in concussion protocol after a vicious hit in last week’s game. Kmet will be an interesting study as a favorite sleeper for many in the fantasy football world. In the last two seasons, the shine began to fade in what looked to be a loaded offense. Since then, the Bears have struggled, and Kmet has emerged as a safety blanket and playmaker for the young Caleb Williams. The one thing that could slow Kmet down in Week 4 is if Keenan Allen suits up after missing the last two weeks due to injury. Monitor both player’s situations throughout the week.
