Week 3 NFL fantasy tight end rankings: Top TE streamers, starts

(This story has been updated with new information and a new photo.)

Has there been a more disappointing position in fantasy football this season than tight end?

The answer, of course, is no. Just five of them even have 100 receiving yards through two games.

Only three of the top 10 tight ends in average draft position are currently among the top 10 in fantasy points: No. 8 George Kittle, No. 3 Trey McBride and No. 6 Kyle Pitts. So who will bounce back this week?

It won't be Kittle, who was ruled out for the 49ers' Week 3 game vs. the Rams. Jacksonville's Evan Engram also is out.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 3 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
