Jason Witten has a touchdown in two straight games after recording none in the first six
The tight end position might be the most frustrating off all for fantasy owners this season because you never know what you are going to get week-to-week. Of course, Rob Gronkowski is ranked No. 1, but it’s not out of the question that he catches three passes for 27 yards this week against the Seahawks.
Then there’s always one tight end ranked in the mid-20s that catches six balls for 85 yards and a touchdown and easily finishes in the top five for the week. So what does Week 10 have in store? At least you know it won’t be Eric Ebron, Jack Doyle, Dwayne Allen, Charles Clay or Clive Walford responsible for the tight end-induced headaches this week. They are all on bye.
