Week 9 fantasy tight end rankings: Top TE streamers, starts - USA Today

The bye weeks can sometimes be a real pain for fantasy football managers, especially when it comes to tight ends.

There aren't really many elite options you can depend on every week, so when you have a starter you trust have to sit out a week, it can be difficult to find a capable fill-in. Of course these rankings are one way to find the best matchups when you're in dire straits ... but the best solution is simply getting your guy back the following week.

In Week 8, three key tight ends were on bye. But George Kittle, Isaiah Likely and Dalton Schultz all return in Week 9 − and they're all top-10 fantasy options this week.
