With Jimmy Graham and Travis Kelce on bye, two other tight ends have the chance to take their place among the weekly top 10. Dwayne Allen was supposed to be one of them, but alas, fantasy football. Fortunately, the following names are poised to continue their sneaky dominance in Week 6.
Fantasy football sleepers, Week 6: Tight ends
Opportunity is the key as the Week 6 tight end sleepers have finally received their opportunity to shine.

Tim Wright -- If you didn't recognize that New England Patriots offense, that's fine, because neither did we. For the the first time this season, Josh McDaniels reverted to the bread and butter of the Patriots of old, using two-tight-end sets during 57 percent of their offensive plays. One can only assume they'll move forward using such personnel, which means Wright and his 100 percent catch rate of last week will remain a viable TE1 in deeper leagues.
Jared Cook -- Despite all the love being passed around for Brian Quick (and rightfully so), Cook has remained under the radar as the St. Louis Rams' most targeted receiver with Austin Davis at the helm. The San Francisco 49ers might not be the greatest of matchups for opposing tight ends, but Cook's usage can no longer be denied. If you're scrounging for a weekly starter, consider Cook just that.
Owen Daniels -- Though he's now considered more useful than simply a sleeper, Daniels is currently walking into the perfect storm. Not only are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a top-10 play for opposing tight ends, but Daniels has garnered a whopping 63 percent of Baltimore's targets since taking over for the injured Dennis Pitta. If you own Daniels, Week 6 has become must-start territory for him.
