Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Week 3: TE Edition

As fantasy football enthusiasts brace for Week 3, a new list of unconventional recommendations for tight ends (TEs) has emerged. Instead of the usual selections like Trey McBride and Dalton Kincaid, focus on undervalued players who could be on waivers and steer clear of those who seem startable.

First up is T.J. Hockenson from the Minnesota Vikings, ranked 24th. With Kyler Murray set to return, Hockenson's role is expected to increase. Facing the Buccaneers, who are struggling offensively, presents an opportunity for Hockenson to shine. His value has been undervalued all season, making him an even better bargain now.

Next, consider Oronde Gadsden II from the Los Angeles Chargers, ranked 19th. With Zay Flowers' status uncertain, Gadsden is expected to see more playing time. This makes him a strong contender in the passing game, especially with key players out of the equation. His ranking could drop if Flowers returns, increasing his potential value.

Mark Andrews, ranked 16th, with the Baltimore Ravens, is another TE to consider. With Zay Flowers' return status in question, Andrews might become an even more valuable asset. His ranking could drop if Flowers comes back, making him a prime target for teams in need of reliable production.

On the flip side, some TEs to sit include Harold Fannin Jr. from the Cleveland Browns, ranked 13th. Fannin has faced increased competition, making him a risky play. Tyler Warren from the Indianapolis Colts, ranked 5th, has also been a questionable pick. His relevance has been tied to touchdowns in the Colts' questionable aerial game. With Alec Pierce's absence, Warren's value might increase.

Finally, the Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end, Travis Kelce, ranked 7th, is a player to sit. Kelce dominated in Week 2 against the Colts, but the Chiefs are set to face a Dolphins team that's far from their best. With an early lead, the Chiefs might rely more on other players, potentially limiting Kelce's impact.
