Tight End: Jonnu Smith $5,800

Finding a value tight end is one of the hardest things to do in fantasy sports right now. It might be worth spending the $7,100 to go and get George Kittle. However, it’s still worth it to try and find a gem to preserve the money for the running backs.

The Titans have appeared multiple times here for negative reasons, but one of the biggest surprises with that offense this year is tight end Jonnu Smith. His 22-point performance in Week 2 won a lot of people their leagues/daily fantasy lineups. He was decent in the other two weeks, but nothing to go home about.

Now, with two weeks in between games, Smith will be rested going into his team’s matchup with the Bills. This is expected to be a high-scoring game, at least from the Bills side. That will put a lot of pressure on Ryan Tannehill to make plays through the air. With A.J. Brown still coming back from a knee injury, Smith is going to be his go-to guy.

The Bills allowed nine catches and 88 yards to Darren Waller last week. He was his team’s leading receiver, which could absolutely happen against the Bills this week. Mike Gesicki had eight catches and 130 yards against the Bills. Good tight ends are able to put up numbers against this offense.

Other Options: Kittle $7,100, Dalton Schultz $5,300
