TIGHT ENDS
Start: Dalton Kincaid/Dawson Knox (BUF v. CIN): This game has a slate-breaking 52.5 O/U, and whether it’s Kincaid or Knox, you want a piece of this shootout against a Bengals defense that bleeds points to tight ends. Buffalo is favored by 5.5, implying plenty of red zone trips where the tight end is Josh Allen’s favorite safety valve.
Start: Brenton Strange (JAC v. IND): You’re chasing points in the week’s second-highest total of 48.5, and Strange has quietly become a red-zone staple for this offense. The Colts linebackers are coverage liabilities, making Strange a sneaky-good bet to fall into the end zone in a high-scoring affair.
Sit: David Njoku (CLE v. TEN): The 33.5 O/U is the lowest on the board by a mile, and trusting a TE with bad QB play in a defensive slog is how you lose weeks. Tennessee suppresses tight end production, and with an athletic rookie stealing his targets, Njoku’s floor is subterranean.
Sit: Chig Okonkwo (TEN @ CLE): A 33.5 total game in Cleveland is where fantasy dreams go to die, and Chig’s path to production is blocked by scheme issues and rookie competition. I want him to be great, but you can’t start a guy relying on a rookie QB in the lowest-scoring game of the week.
