Week 9 of the 2025 fantasy season was a tale of two tight end cities, one, Green Bay, full of woe and despair, the other, Las Vegas, full of jubilation. You probably know why, but let me tell you. Green Bay just lost the No. 1 fantasy tight end, Tucker Kraft, to a torn ACL, while the Raiders got stud tight end Brock Bowers back and how quickly put up over 100 yards and three touchdowns in his return. The NFL giveth and the NFL taketh away.
Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys
Travis Kelce, Noah Fant, Chig Okonkwo, Jake Ferguson
Dalton Schultz, Texans vs. Jaguars
There are quite a few useful streamers this week, with Juwan Johnson (sans Rashid Shaheed) and Theo Johnson (especially if Bellinger is out again), but Schultz gets the best matchup of the group. The Jaguars have given up the second-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Schultz caught 5-of-6 targets the first time they met and he’s been seeing more work of late.
Kraft is out for the season with a torn ACL. Luke Musgrave should take over the lead role in his absence, but he won’t be as efficient. We’ll see how much they incorporate him into the offense, but he is worth a pickup in case he can step up in a big way.
Kmet suffered a concussion in Week 9, which ended up helping rookie Colston Loveland to his breakout game. Loveland may have won more snaps moving forward, but as long as Kmet is healthy enough to play, he will continue to cut into his upside.
Bellinger suffered a neck injury in Week 8 and was doubtful and didn’t play in Week 9. Keep an eye on the news this week, especially if you’d like to use Theo Johnson as a tight end streamer once again.
