Tight Ends

Travis Kelce (6,400): Kelce is the Chiefs primary target in the passing game and they may need to throw the ball on Monday Night Football to keep up with the Packers. He started the season with a monster six-catch, 102-yard, two-touchdown performance, but he only managed 58 yards on four catches in week 2. The Packers haven’t been horrible against tight ends, but they haven’t been great either, so look for Kelce to be extremely involved on Monday night. With the possibility that the Patriots blow the doors off the Jags, he’s the highest-price tight end I would target this week.

Jared Cook (5,400): Cook has been pretty involved in the Rams passing attack catching five passes in each of their first two games of the season. In week 1, he hauled in five of six targets for 85 yards and he followed that up with five catches on seven target for 47 yards against Washington last week. Cook is in a good matchup this week too after the Steelers allowed Gronk to kill them in week 1 and Vernon Davis to get 60 yards on them last week.

Eric Ebron (5,100): Ebron has a touchdown in each of the first two weeks of the season catching a total of nine passes for 96 yards. As the Lions look to get their first win of the season, they’ll be home against the Broncos in week 3 and I think Ebron will continue to emerge as a fringe TE1 this week.
