Fantasy Football: Week 10 tight end rankings

Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Zach Ertz tops my Week 9 fantasy football tight end rankings.

I have Travis Kelce, Greg Olsen, O.J. Howard and Jimmy Graham just behind the Philadelphia Eagles pass-catcher.

George Kittle, Rob Gronkowski, David Njoku, Jack Doyle and Jordan Reed also land in the top 10 of my weekly rankings at the position.

If you have any tight ends from the Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos or Minnesota Vikings make sure to remove them from your lineup, as those teams have Week 10 byes.

The field is a bit watered down this week, but there are still plenty of decent tight end options available.

Here are my top 20 options at the position this week.

TOP 20 WEEK 10 RANKINGS BELOW

TOP SHELF

Ertz is my top tight end option this week. He is facing the Dallas Cowboys in what I expect to be a tight NFC East matchup. Ertz has either scored a touchdown and/or gone for at least 100 receiving yards in five consecutive games. He should not leave your starting lineup down the stretch.

Olsen is my No. 3 option at tight end this week. The Carolina Panthers star has a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a unit allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. Olsen has also scored a touchdown in three consecutive games. He has a great shot at increasing that streak to four games against this secondary.

SNEAKY PLAYS

Reed is my No. 10 option at tight end this week. The Washington Redskins veteran only has one score on the season, but should find plenty of space in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a unit allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. Start Reed in any size league if that league requires staring a tight end.

Austin Hooper is a stream-worthy option at tight end in Week 10. The Atlanta Falcons pass-catcher has only reached the end zone twice in 2018, but could find it again against the Cleveland Browns, a defense allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends.

LONGSHOTS

Steelers tight end Vance McDonald is my No. 13 option at tight end and should only be used if you are in a deeper league that requires starting the position. McDonald has at least three catches in three consecutive games. He should find some production in this matchup against the Panthers, a unit allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends.

New Orleans Saints veteran Benjamin Watson is a dart throw at tight end this week. He is my No. 15 option at the position for Week 10. He has scored in two of his last three games and could get his third touchdown of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals, a defense allowing the third-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends.
