The 2022-23 NFL season began a few weeks ago which means so did fantasy football. After getting a taste of the NFL season last week, it is important not to overreact and make some risky moves when setting lineups for this week. For the first few weeks, fantasy managers should pay attention to trends that they see from teams that could shape the rest of the season. Here are fantasy football week 4 tight end rankings.

Dalton Schultz missed last week’s game against the New York Giants with a knee injury. If he misses this week’s game against the Washington Commanders Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot would be expected to fill in for Schultz again. They would be high-risk/high-reward DFS plays.
Taysom Hill missed last week’s game against Carolina Panthers with a rib injury. If Hill misses this week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings Adam Trautman would be expected to step up as the Saints’ second tight end.
