Already down 20 points to Larry Donnell? Don't worry, we got you covered. The tight end position has its share of under-the-radar options that could help you cut into that ugly deficit. And who knows, maybe you'll find someone who can replicate Donnell's performance. Odds are long, but you can't win the lottery if you don't play!
Fantasy football sleepers, Week 4: Tight Ends
Already trailing in your matchup? Here are a few sleeper tight ends that could help you recover.
Grant Halverson
Last season, Vincent Jackson led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 160 targets. The second-most used receiver in the passing game was the tight end, who Mike Glennon targeted a total of 83 times. With Austin Sefarian-Jenkins still out, expect Myers to get a lot of opportunities against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed the fourth-most points to tight ends.
As the tenth overall pick in the 2014 draft, Ebron's talent isn't exactly a secret. His opportunities, however, have been far and few between as both Brandon Pettigrew and Joseph Fauria have continued to accumulate a higher total of snaps. But with Fauria officially inactive against the New York Jets, expect Ebron to finally be involved in the passing game. A top 10 finish could be in the cards.
Not counting their game against Green Bay in which the Jets threw the kitchen sink at the Packers, Amaro has been featured heavily in their passing offense. With Chris Johnson fading and Decker hobbled by injury, expect Amaro to continue being the focus in the middle of the field. Finishing as a TE2 in deeper leagues is more foreseeable than not.
