There weren’t that many correct answers for fantasy football managers at the tight end position this year, but one of those few that got it right was George Kittle, right?
The 31-year-old tight end currently averages 14.08 fantasy points per game overall, ranks second among tight ends with 375 receiving yards, and leads the team with five receiving touchdowns. Following the news that star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has suffered a season-ending knee injury, his arrow is only pointing upwards for the remainder of the season. Then came the disappointing news that WR Deebo Samuel was hospitalized with pneumonia. Unfortunately, he came on short notice with a foot injury and is expected to be out for the day after Week 8, but assuming he’s okay on Sunday, he’ll be given all the work he can handle. It will be.

If you’re not lucky enough to get George Kittle in the draft, or Brock Bowers, who is quietly leading the way in yards per catch (47) and receiving yards (477), you’re going to need some help. It may be. To help you make start/sit decisions at one of fantasy’s most difficult positions, here are the teams’ Week 8 tight end rankings.
Which tight end will produce the most output in Week 8?
