Tyler Kroft has been doing his best to fill the void Tyler Eifert left on the Cincinnati Bengals offense. Since Eifert went down in Week 2, Kroft has had at least four targets, three catches, and 23 yards receiving in every game. He had a breakout performance in Week 4 vs. the Cleveland Browns, catching six passes for 68 yards and two touchdowns. Kroft scored again last week against Pittsburgh.
Fantasy football Week 8: Start or sit Tyler Kroft Sunday?
A soft matchup could mean a big fantasy week for the Bengals big man.


The Bengals host the Indianapolis Colts Sunday. The Colts are a dream matchup for tight ends, allowing four touchdowns to big men over the past five games. The Colts passing defense ranks 31st in the NFL.
Fantasy impact: Kroft is no Eifert, but with the right matchup he can definitely pull some good fantasy numbers. He plays well when he has a favorable matchup, and Indianapolis is about as favorable as it gets. Kroft should get a fair amount of targets and many will be in the red zone. With the Colts giving up touchdowns to tight ends left and right, Kroft is a good streaming option Sunday.
