Fantasy Football Projections Week 2: 3 Tight Ends Headed for Massive Output

Tight ends are often an overlooked part of any fantasy team. However, they can explode for days the find them scoring with the best receivers.

The following three tight ends are in line for abnormally large days. Two of them may even be on your waiver wire.

Bills Tight End Scott Chandler

The Bills showed right away that they intend on making Chandler part of their passing game. He had five catches for 63 yards and two touchdowns against the Chiefs, and he will likely get similar production this week against the Raiders. 

The Raiders linebackers are awful in coverage, and this is a team that seldom lines up in a zone defense. Chandler will have plenty of opportunity to break free, and it looks like his quarterback is eager to find him.

Raiders Tight End Kevin Boss

There is a giant asterisk on this one. Boss sat out the opener with a knee injury. He was listed as questionable on the official injury report. However, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, he has returned to practice and told them, "I'm back."

The Raiders are going to waste no time thrusting Boss into action. Jason Campbell is always a QB that looks for his tight end, and he will be looking for Boss plenty in this one.

The Raiders wide receiver corp is hurting. Luis Murphy and Jacoby Ford are both out. Darrius Heyward-Bey is questionable with a knee injury. 

Falcons Tight End Tony Gonzalez

Fantasy owners of Tony Gonzalez are going to be partying like it is 1999 after this one. Gonzalez is ready for a big day. Gonzalez proved that he is still a force to be reckoned with in the opener by catching five passes for 72 yards.

I expect him to better those numbers in this one. The Falcons aren't going to be eager to test the Dream Team Eagles' cornerbacks. This is going to mean more touches and stats for Gonzalez.
