Brock Bowers reminded everyone what an elite fantasy tight end looks like with 28.2 PPR points in Week 8. He's right near the top of our Week 9 fantasy football tight end rankings, alongside George Kittle and Trey McBride. Harold Fannin Jr. is also making some noise after a big performance of his own, despite questions at quarterback. The tight end position can get ugly pretty quickly once you get past the reliable starters, so finding someone who can give you a handful of catches without needing a touchdown is half the battle.
