C.J. Fiedorowicz-TE-Houston Texans

Another one of the best fantasy football sleepers at tight end is the Texans third-year TE out of Iowa C.J. Fiedorowicz. Fiedorowicz was a big part of Houston’s late comeback last night to force overtime and ultimately beat their division-rival Colts.

The last three weeks, Brock Osweiler has been sending plenty of passes his way, and Fiedorowicz has made the most of his increased changes. In the last three weeks, Fiedorowicz has totaled 14 catches in those for 194 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He finished last night’s win with six catches for 85 yards.

At this point, Fiedorowicz is almost universally available and has a couple of good matchups before his bye coming up in Week 9. In Week 7, he’ll face the Broncos in Denver before coming home to take on a beatable Lions secondary in Week 8. He is getting enough targets and making enough plays to be a borderline starter every week as one of Brock Osweiler’s favorite targets.
