The 31-year-old tight end currently ranks as the overall TE1 averaging 14.08 fantasy points per game, ranked second among tight ends with 375 receiving yards and leading the cohort with five receiving touchdowns. His arrow's only pointing up rest-of-season, too, after news that star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has suffered a season-ending knee injury. Then, there's the unfortunate news that WR Deebo Samuel was hospitalized with pneumonia. Unfortunately, he popped up with a foot injury and is considered day-to-day after Week 8, but assuming he's good to go on Sunday, he'll be tasked with all the work he can handle.
