Robert Tonyan Fantasy

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan caught all three of his targets and gained 29 yards during the team's 20-16 loss to the Detroit Lions. It ends an outright disappointing season for the veteran who came into the year with a chance to see an increased target share due to the departure of star receiver Davante Adams. Tonyan finished with 67 targets, a total of eight more than his previous career-high of 59 in 2020. However, that season, the 28-year-old was the TE4 overall due to a high touchdown total. He finished with just two this season, capping his upside and holding him to just three top-12 fantasy finishes. After losing valuable reps to backups Joshua Deguara and Marcedes Lewis, and the future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers up in the air, Tonyan can safely be left off of draft boards heading into the 2023 season.

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan will face the division rival Detroit Lions Sunday night. The 28-year-old found the end zone for the first time since Week 4 last week against Minnesota, finishing inside the top 12 for only the second time this season. However, despite his recent success, Tonyan remains off the fantasy radar in the majority of fantasy leagues. He has topped three targets just two times over the past seven games and will need to score to finish as a viable streaming option in Week 18. The matchup against Detroit is great, as the Lions allow the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the tight end position. However, with a lack of consistent volume and all of the Packers wide receivers set to suit up on Sunday, the veteran tight end is a boom-or-bust back-end TE2 at best in Week 18.

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan caught 3-of-4 targets for 52 yards and one touchdown during the team's 41-17 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran tight end found the end zone for the first time since Week 4 and caught the only receiving touchdown of the night. The Packers' defense took this game over, leading to only three offensive touchdowns, with two coming on the ground. Tonyan had not been a viable fantasy option for months prior to this week, so the performance likely helped very few people. Even after scoring this week, the 28-year-old will not be a recommended streamer next week against Detroit for those who are playing their fantasy football title games in Week 18.
