Whats up to all you fantasy footballers on the market! We’re transferring 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 superb one for Tucker Kraft’s ascension and Brock Bowers’ semi-consistency. However when you might have two tight ends within the High 7 fantasy scores from the Ravens and neither is Mark Andrews, properly, issues are nonetheless type of bizarre in tight finish land.
The excellent news is that Bowers, George Kittle, Jake Ferguson, and possibly Travis Kelce with Rashee Rice out, seem 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 sturdy video games.
It appears to be like like we would have misplaced David Njoku once more attributable to damage, however we should always get T.J. Hockenson again in a pair weeks and Evan Engram again this week. That will likely 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 damage 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 damage, per Adam Schefter. That is excellent news for the Jaguars offense and for fantasy gamers with Engram at tight finish. It gained’t take a lot from him to seemingly be an improve on whoever you have been enjoying as a substitute of him.
Taysom Hill, Saints
Hill suffered fractured ribs in Week 5 and was out Week 6. The actual fact he hasn’t been placed on I.R. is telling, however we are able to’t anticipate him to be 100% anytime quickly.
T.J. Hockenson, Vikings
Hockenson has been designated to return, but it surely’s wanting like Week 7 is the most-likely return date, per Ian Rapoport. In case you are in a shallow league and he’s by some means accessible, seize him.
Week 6 tight finish sleepers
Jake Ferguson, Cowboys vs. Lions
Ferguson’s but to seek 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 setting towards a group with a greater offense.
Cole Kmet, Bears vs. Jaguars
I’m all in on concentrating on this Jaguars go protection this week and Kmet may simply be an element on this recreation. They’ve actually solely face Dalton Kincaid this yr and he caught a landing towards them and Mo Alie-Cox caught one final week. There will likely be loads of mouths for Caleb Williams to feed, however Kmet will get his shot in a superb matchup.
