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

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 TreyMcBride and No. 6 Kyle Pitts. So who will bounce back this week?
