Tight Ends

Austin Hooper (ATL at NO, $5,500) is as safe an option as any at fantasy football’s most desolate position. The price is reasonable, the game script will be favorable, and Matt Ryan hasn’t been shy about feeding Hooper the football over the past two seasons.

Gerald Everett (LAR at PIT, $4,500): Some expect Josh Reynolds to play a larger role in the offense with Brandin Cooks out. While Reynolds will definitely see the largest increase in snaps, Everett figures to be the one getting the most incremental looks and receptions.

Jack Doyle (IND vs. MIA, $3,600): Doyle played 30 more snaps than teammate Eric Ebron last week. He has also been the more consistent of the two Indianapolis Colts tight ends while Hilton’s been out. Ebron is boom-or-bust, and Doyle is the better bet for solid production at a low price.

O.J. Howard (TB vs. ARI, $3,300): Howard has been one of the biggest busts in fantasy football this season, but he’ll have people scrambling to the waiver wire to pick him back up after torching the Cardinals this week. Seemingly every week, the Cardinals prove why they are the league’s worst at defending tight ends. A home run for DraftKings players this week, Howard costs less than teammate Cameron Brate, who isn’t a bad speculative play in his own right.

Mike Gesicki (MIA at IND, $3,100): I’ve been aboard the Gesicki hype train before, but it’s finally moving and making steam after a breakout 15.5 point performance at a $2,800 price last week. After seeing 11 targets in his first five games combined, Gesicki has seen 20 in his last four. He’ll play an even larger role in the offense moving forward with go-to red zone receiver Preston Williams out for the season with a knee injury.

As far as honorable mentions go, Kyle Rudolph (MIN at DAL, $3,400) is quietly carving out a larger role in the offense while Adam Thielen nurses his hamstring back to health. Meanwhile, Ross Dwelley (SF vs. SEA, $3,200) is suddenly a bargain with George Kittle listed as doubtful.
