Top TEs To Start in Week 8

Darren Waller, New York Giants

Daniel Jones has been out of the lineup now for a couple of games, and Tyrod Taylor is captaining the vacated ship well — especially when it comes to getting the ball into the hands of Darren Waller.

After struggling mightily through the first four weeks of the season, Waller has finished as a top-15 tight end in the last three games and is starting to solidify himself as a reliable option for fantasy managers.

The matchup against the New York Jets isn’t enough to scare me off of starting the veteran TE.

Gerald Everett, Los Angeles Chargers

The volume hasn’t been there for Gerald Everett here recently, but he’s found the end zone each of the past two weeks.

In a matchup against the Chicago Bears, who are allowing 9.9 fantasy points on average to opposing tight ends this season, Everett’s a solid streaming option going into Week 8.
