Hello fantasy soccer players! As the season enters Week 6, it's time to take another look at the league's underperforming tight ends. Week 5 was a good week for the rise of Tucker Craft and the metastability of Brock Bowers. But things are still a little strange in tight end land when the Ravens have two tight ends in the top seven in fantasy scoring and Mark Andrews doesn't either.
The good news is that Bowers, George Kittle, Jake Ferguson, and possibly Travis Kelce, who missed Laci Rice, appear to be above the rest of the team, while Craft is at least in position to join them upon his return. It means that there is. A strong match against each other.
It looks like they could lose David Njoku to injury again, but TJ Hockenson should be back in the next few weeks and Evan Engram should be back this week. That would be an opportunity for the fantasy tight end player base.
Week 6 is bye at tight end.
Travis Kelsey, Colby Parkinson, Jonnu Smith
Week 6 Tight End Injury
David Njoku (Browns)
Nyoku can't take a break. He returned from IR in Week 5, but injured his knee in that game. he is scheduled to undergo an MRI This is to confirm the extent of damage. If Njoku misses his chance to play, Jordan Akins will return to the starting lineup.
Evan Engram, Jaguars
Engram has a “pretty good” chance to return from his hamstring injury this week. According to Adam Schefter. This is good news for the Jaguars' offense and for fantasy players with Engram at tight end. You're more likely to be an upgrade than the player you were playing in his place, and it won't cost you much to benefit from him.
Taysom Hill, Saints
Hill suffered a broken rib in Week 5 and was sidelined from Week 6. The fact that he's not on IR speaks for itself, but we can't expect him to be 100% anytime soon.
TJ Hockenson, Vikings
Hockenson is set to return, but Week 7 appears to be the most likely time for him to return. According to Ian Rapoport. If you're in a shallow league and he's available in some way, grab him.
Week 6 Tight End Sleeper
Jake Ferguson, Cowboys vs. Lions
Ferguson has yet to find the end zone, which is holding back his fantasy production. The good news is he has 25 targets and 19 catches for 214 yards over the past three games. These are elite numbers this season, and he has to be a starter every week, especially in this matchup environment with higher offensive teams.
Cole Kmet, Bears vs. Jaguars
I'm all about targeting this Jaguars pass defense this week, and there's a good chance Kmet will be a factor in this game. They've only really played Dalton Kincaid this year, but he caught a touchdown against them and Moe Ailey-Cox also caught a touchdown last week. Caleb Williams will have a lot of mouths to feed, but Kmet will have a chance in a good matchup.
