Order follows Footballguys' Week 9 rest-of-season PPR projections (Footballguys). The takes are ours.
Tier 1: 1. Trey McBride, 2. Brock Bowers.
Tier 2: 3. George Kittle, 4. Isaiah Likely.
Tier 3: 5. Colston Loveland, 6. Sam LaPorta.
Rising:
- Colston Loveland: 16.6 PPR points a game over his last three versus 9.2 on the season (DynastyMath).
- Tucker Kraft: 13.8 PPR points a game over his recent stretch, with three TDs in his last five games, per FantasyPros (FantasyPros).
Streamers:
- Harold Fannin Jr.: TE4 in points per game in Shedeur Sanders' six starts last year, and Sanders likely starts this week (SI).
- Brenton Strange: 40+ yards in four straight games (RotoBaller).
- Chig Okonkwo, Mike Gesicki, Gunnar Helm: All three are on NFL.com's top-15 waiver list (NFL.com). Helm's Titans are on bye this week, so he's a Week 10 play.
