Top Tight Ends For Fantasy: TJ Hockenson & David Njoku
Transcript
00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Joe, you were talking tight ends,
00:06 talking about how Andrew's being out
00:08 and how we have some pivots.
00:10 Let's move to that position.
00:11 I made the joke, I think it was last week,
00:13 if running backs wanna get paid, they should play tight end.
00:16 I think this is a position that if people can get in early,
00:20 will help them win leagues.
00:22 No one's looking at tight end.
00:23 We have two that should catch people's eyes.
00:26 What do you like?
00:27 - Yeah, we have one we gotta pay up for
00:28 and one we pay down for.
00:29 So TJ Hawkinson's the one I wanna pay up for.
00:32 Look, you don't have Travis Kelsey on this late
00:33 'cause well, he was supposed to play Thursday,
00:35 but didn't play Thursday.
00:36 We hope he plays week two.
00:37 We'll keep our fingers crossed.
00:38 We'll see what happens.
00:39 Mark Andrews is out, right?
00:40 So George Kittle is playing, but not 100%.
00:45 It's TJ Hawkinson.
00:46 TJ Hawkinson is the number two go-to guy
00:48 in this Minnesota Vikings era tech.
00:49 7,200 on Vandal, 5,900 on DK.
00:53 That's the guy, that's where you wanna be.
00:55 And I think that when you're looking at Hawkinson,
00:57 you're seeing a player who came in last year,
01:00 got a ton of targets, ingratiated himself very well,
01:03 just signed an extension, right?
01:04 He's still gonna be around for a while.
01:05 They want him there.
01:07 Follow the money, boys and girls, follow the money.
01:09 I think Hawkinson is a big part of this game today.
01:11 And I think Hawkinson, Jefferson, Madison,
01:13 that's how you wanna attack that game with Kirk Cousins.
01:15 Just go with the big names and stack 'em up.
01:18 I think that Minnesota stacks can be very good
01:20 when everyone's going to Miami
01:22 and everyone's going to the Chargers.
01:24 Maybe we look a little bit more with the Minnesota Vikings.
01:27 Again, Tampa on the road, and Minnesota don't love it.
01:29 The other tight end, a little lower on the trough,
01:32 is a guy named David Njoku,
01:33 who I think has touchdown equity in this game.
01:36 We've seen in the past, especially in the red zone,
01:38 Deshaun Watson does like to throw the ball to tight ends.
01:41 Njoku is a guy that has yet to be unlocked
01:43 by any of the quarterbacks he's played with.
01:45 And I think at 5,600 on Vandal, and at DK pricing of 42,
01:50 he's really intriguing this week.
01:51 He has touchdown equity.
01:52 We say it every week.
01:54 You score a touchdown,
01:54 you finish as a tight end one, pretty much.
01:56 Now all of a sudden, again, no Mark Andrews,
01:58 Kittle, suspect.
02:00 All of a sudden, tight end becomes a really tough spot here.
02:04 And Darren Waller's playing on Sunday night football.
02:07 So you're not going to have him.
02:08 You're not going to have Dalton Kincaid,
02:10 'cause he's on Monday night.
02:11 So we're kind of limited in our choices
02:13 of what we've got going on.
02:14 So I think those two guys specifically are really good.
02:16 And I think, you know,
02:17 that's how you want to attack that position today.
02:19 Look for some value, either pay up for Hockinson,
02:21 and you can, because when we get to the wide receivers,
02:24 I know we're going to start with a couple of big ones here.
02:26 The wide receivers, I think there's a lot more leeway
02:30 in pricing in week one that we're used to seeing most weeks.
