SAVVY fantasy football owners always seem to find an edge over their opponents. Whether it’s in-depth research, a sophistica­ted knowledge of the game or the ability to exploit loopholes in the rule for their advantage, they always seem to be atop the standings.

Some simply are able to dedicate more of their time and attention to the game while casual fans find themselves scavenging for the scraps of a consolatio­n game. But this season, the casual fan has a champion, a hero who fights for a level playing field. If you haven’t yet heard the legend of the Tight End Whisperer, it’s time to pay attention as your advantage heading into the fantasy playoffs is here.

While most owners struggle with their lineup choices at quarterbac­k, running back and wide receiver, the tight end position is routinely overlooked. If they don’t own one of Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz or Jimmy Graham, they often subscribe to the “any port in a storm” mentality and roll out whichever healthy body they can find.

Sometimes they hit, though usually, they disappoint. As legend has it, the Tight End Whisperer reveals an unheralded player who not only scores touchdowns but gives you the points edge you need to win your weekly matchup. The names appear laughable, and yet each week, the Tight End Whisper hits with uncanny accuracy.

We’re now through Week 13 and the Whisperer has yet to disappoint. His abilities are unmatched and his desire to help the average Joe win a fantasy championsh­ip is strong.

If you’re in need, he’s always there, and if you listen closely in Week 14, you’ll hear the whispers once again: George Kittle. Shhhhh!
