Tight Ends

Start

Tyler Kroft, Cincinnati Bengals vs. Indianapolis Colts – Kroft now has three total touchdowns over the last three weeks and 4+ receptions in each of those contests. The Colts have given up a touchdown to an opposing tight end in four out of the last five games. Kroft’s touchdown-upside is huge this week.

Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota Vikings vs. Cleveland Browns – The Browns have this thing where they are against covering opposing tight ends so Rudolph should finish with 5+ receptions over in London.

Sit

Austin Hooper, Atlanta Falcons vs. New York Jets – Hooper seems to be completely out of the offensive game-plan when Mohamed Sanu is playing and Sanu is playing this week. Sooo…

O.J. Howard, Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Howard was last week’s No.1 fantasy football tight end. Good for him. Now leave him on the waiver-wire.
