Fantasy Football TE Rankings, Who Should I Add Off Waiver Wires:
Dalton Kincaid (Bills), was the highest recommended TE waiver wire pickup this week.
Analysis
The Bills initially deployed Kincaid for eight more routes (23-15) than Dawson Knox in Week 4 before the rookie was injured in the first half of the following game.
He picked up right where he had left off against the Patriots, yet again running eight more routes than Knox (33-25) for a season-high 20.5% target share.
With Knox undergoing wrist surgery and out “indefinitely,” Kincaid, who led his class with 2.54 Yards Per Route Run in 2022, should be added in place of Kyle Pitts, David Njoku, Tyler Higbee, and any other TE2s being kept solely for their names.

Who are the best stashes from the Fantasy Football TE Rankings?
Gerald Everett (Chargers) is one of the best tight end stashes ahead of Week 8.
Analysis
The coveted Chargers red zone role has seemingly shifted towards Gerald Everett as of late, as the veteran grabbed another touchdown in the team’s Week 7 loss to the Chiefs.
It marked back-to-back scores and allowed Everett to finish as the overall TE9, despite being forced off the field in the third quarter due to a quad injury. Assuming a clean bill of health ahead of Week 8, the Chargers will take on a Bears team that has allowed the fourth-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points to opposing offenses.
Prior to stonewalling rookie Michael Mayer (and the entire inept Raiders offense), Chicago had allowed stat lines of 9-77-1 (Logan Thomas) and 6-50 (T.J. Hockenson) to tight ends.
I think we can all safely surmise that Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense are vastly more competent than Brian Hoyer and Aidan O’Connell. Everett is available in 75% of Yahoo leagues and should be in consideration as soon as we hear positive news about his quadriceps. Donald Parham is worth a shot if the news trends in the opposite direction.
