TE Sleepers

Jacob Tamme-Atlanta Falcons: With Leonard Hankerson injured, Jacob Tamme was the second option in the Falcons’ passing attack behind Julio Jones.  He finished with eight catches on his ten targets while finishing with a season-high 94 yards. Tammy shook off his concussion and looks like he could be ready for a growing role in the Atlanta passing attack.

Zach Ertz-Philadelphia Eagles: Ertz had a season-high five catches in the Eagles best offensive game of the season finishing with 60 yards in Philadelphia’s win over New Orleans. Ertz could be a big producer at a thin tight end position if the Eagles offense gets going.

Richard Rodgers-Green Bay Packers: The Packers tight end makes his second straight appearance on the TE sleeper list. He was targeted eight times this week against the Rams finishing with six catches for 45 yards.  Rodgers has 45 yards in each of his last two games, but this week he didn’t find the end zone.  This week, Rodgers is in a good matchup against the Chargers, and he could be useful as a deep league flier option.
