Week 9 TE rankings and TE tiers: Ian Hartitz ranks his top 24 tight ends for Week 9 of fantasy football (with the Steelers and Titans on bye) and sorts them into three tiers. Brock Bowers is the TE1, Isaiah Likely is the TE4, Tyler Warren is the TE10 and Greg Dulcich is the TE13 and the streamer of the week against a Lions defense that has been the worst in the league against tight ends. Along the way Ian stops for two bigger questions about the position: who has the best game environments, and which tight ends are scoring as tight ends versus as de facto wide receivers.
TIER 1: THE BIG SIX
Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, George Kittle, Isaiah Likely, Colston Loveland, Sam LaPorta.
Key question: who has the best game environments in Week 9?
TIER 2: LOW-END TE1S YOU SHOULDN'T HATE
Harold Fannin Jr., Tucker Kraft, T.J. Hockenson, Tyler Warren, Dalton Kincaid, Mike Gesicki.
Key question: what tight ends are scoring points as tight ends, and which as de facto wide receivers?
TIER 3: TE2S WHO WILL HOPEFULLY SCORE A TD
Greg Dulcich, Kyle Pitts, Brenton Strange, Travis Kelce, Hunter Henry, Chig Okonkwo, Tyler Higbee, Dallas Goedert, Michael Mayer, Juwan Johnson, Mason Taylor, Darren Waller.
