Tight End: Noah Fant $5,700

The tight end position is always closer to a guess than any other position. Unless players are spending $8,000 on Travis Kelce (which is worth it at this point. He has three-straight 20-point performances.) Still, it’s too rich for this lineup’s blood to dabble in the Kelce’s. Even the Rob Gronkowskis and Jonnu Smiths are just too much. Noah Fant is a nice happy medium.

The Broncos offense has been nothing short of awful this season. However, against the Saints, they could have an interesting strategy. The Saints have allowed six touchdowns to tight ends this season. The defense has been playing better as of late, but just two weeks ago they allowed 84 yards to the 49ers’ tight ends without George Kittle.

Again, tight end is really a mixed bag this week. It might be worth sacrificing at other positions to get Kelce, but it will really hurt. When taking the chance, other options include Evan Engram with the Giants and Jordan Reed with the 49ers. This is a position that players have to go with their gut. Getting 10 points should be considered a win if your tight end isn’t Kelce this week.

Other Options: Engram $5,600, Reed $5,000
