Good day to all you fantasy footballers on the market! We’re shifting onto Week 6 of the season and it’s as soon as once more time to take a look at the underperforming tight ends of the league! Week 5 was a very good one for Tucker Kraft’s ascension and Brock Bowers’ semi-consistency. However when you’ve gotten two tight ends within the High 7 fantasy scores from the Ravens and neither is Mark Andrews, properly, issues are nonetheless sort of bizarre in tight finish land.
The excellent news is that Bowers, George Kittle, Jake Ferguson, and doubtless Travis Kelce with Rashee Rice out, appear like they’re going to have the next ground than most, whereas Kraft is a minimum of in a spot to affix them after back-to-back robust video games.
It appears like we would have misplaced David Njoku once more attributable to harm, however we should always get T.J. Hockenson again in a pair weeks and Evan Engram again this week. That can be a pleasant shot within the arm to the fantasy tight finish participant pool.
Week 6 tight finish byes
Travis Kelce, Colby Parkinson, Jonnu Smith
Week 6 tight finish accidents
David Njoku, Browns
Njoku can’t catch a break. He returned from I.R. for Week 5, however suffered a knee harm in that recreation. He’ll obtain an MRI to see the extent of the harm. Jordan Akins would return to the beginning job if Njoku misses time.
Evan Engram, Jaguars
Engram has a “fairly good” probability to return this week from his hamstring harm, per Adam Schefter. That is excellent news for the Jaguars offense and for fantasy gamers with Engram at tight finish. It received’t take a lot from him to doubtless be an improve on whoever you had been enjoying as a substitute of him.
Taysom Hill, Saints
Hill suffered fractured ribs in Week 5 and was out Week 6. The very fact he hasn’t been placed on I.R. is telling, however we are able to’t count on him to be 100% anytime quickly.
T.J. Hockenson, Vikings
Hockenson has been designated to return, nevertheless it’s wanting like Week 7 is the most-likely return date, per Ian Rapoport. If you’re in a shallow league and he’s in some way accessible, seize him.
Week 6 tight finish sleepers
Jake Ferguson, Cowboys vs. Lions
Ferguson’s but to search out the tip zone, which has held down his fantasy manufacturing. The excellent news is that he 25 targets during the last three video games, and he’s caught 19 for 214 yards. These are elite numbers this season and he’s a should begin every week, particularly on this recreation surroundings in opposition to a crew with a greater offense.
Cole Kmet, Bears vs. Jaguars
I’m all in on concentrating on this Jaguars move protection this week and Kmet might simply be an element on this recreation. They’ve actually solely face Dalton Kincaid this 12 months and he caught a landing in opposition to them and Mo Alie-Cox caught one final week. There can be a number of mouths for Caleb Williams to feed, however Kmet will get his shot in a very good matchup.
