Tight ends didn’t produce in week 3 as a group like they did in the first two weeks of the season, but the position still holds a ton of potential going forward if you can find the right piece to add to your lineup.  There will be a bunch of owners on the prowl for TE on the waiver wire this week, so you’ll need to act quickly and decisively to get your desired pickup.

One of the reason owners will be rushing to the wire for TE is that there are several good options on bye weeks like Julius Thomas and Jordan Cameron.  Another reason is due to the continuing epidemic of injuries in the NFL.  On one of my teams, I thought I was set at the position having drafted for depth with Dennis Pitta and Kyle Rudolph. After both suffered serious injuries in week 3, I’ll be one of the crazed fantasy football owners rummaging through the bargain bin on the waiver wire looking for a TE to fill in the gap.

For the sake of all our waiver wire posts, all players listed are owned in less than 50% of ESPN leagues. If you have a specific question about a TE on your waiver wire or whether or not you should make a move, you can ask always find us at @FansidedFantasy on twitter.

So as you join me in the chase for a waiver wire gem at TE, here are the top 7 options to look for heading into the fourth week of the season.
