John Bates A Low-End Streaming Option In Week 3

Friday, September 22, 5:03 PM

Washington Commanders tight end John Bates could be in consideration as a streamer in Week 3. In their matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 3, the Commanders will be without their starting tight end Logan Thomas (concussion) due to injury. That should open up the door for Bates to take advantage. With Thomas missing for a portion of Washington's Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos, the third-year pro was able to put up three catches for 46 yards. Due to the position's woeful fantasy production, it couldn't hurt to take a shot on Bates as a low-end streamer in Week 3.

Grant Calcaterra Leads TE Room Friday Night

Friday, August 9, 10:43 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra caught both of his targets for 14 yards during the team's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Friday night. The 25-year-old was a part of the starting offense, which was the second-string unit, alongside backup quarterback Kenny Pickett. Calcaterra was targeted early but was quickly subbed out for Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. The depth chart behind starting tight end Dallas Goedert has been thin for years now, However, Jack Stoll, who was last year's No. 2 tight end for the Eagles, is now playing for the rival New York Giants, leaving the role wide-open for Calcaterra to take. He seems to be set in that role currently, but he will need to stave off Okwuegbunam Jr. and the rest of the room heading into September.
