Week 6 Start ’Em: Tight EndsStart of the Week
Logan Thomas at Falcons (1 p.m. ET, CBS): I might be chasing the points here, but Thomas has scored 10-plus points in two of his last three games including 20.7 last week. A hot add off the waiver wire, he has a great matchup this week against the Falcons. Their defense has allowed four tight ends to score 12-plus points, including 22.4 points from Sam LaPorta. Thomas is a nice, low-end starter.

Start ’Em
Zach Ertz at Rams (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox): Ertz continued to produce for fantasy fans last week, scoring a touchdown and nine points against the Bengals. He’ll remain a viable option this week against the Rams, who were just smoked for a touchdown and more than 20 points by Ertz’s former teammate, Dallas Goedert. In all, the Rams have surrendered the fifth-most points to opposing tight ends.
Cole Kmet vs. Vikings (1 p.m. ET, Fox): Kmet has been on fire in recent weeks, scoring a combined 42.8 fantasy points in his last two games. I’d ride him while he’s hot at what is a thin position against the Vikings, who have allowed eight-plus points to Kmet four times in six career meetings. While the current matchup isn’t great on paper, Kmet is a tough player to sit in what could be a shootout.
Tyler Conklin at Eagles (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox): Conklin is a worthwhile option for fantasy managers looking to stream a tight end this week, as he’s scored nine-plus points in three of his last four games. In that time, he’s seen at least five targets in each contest. Next up is a date with the Eagles, who have allowed three scores and an average of more than 13 fantasy points per game to tight ends.
