10 TE sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 4
By Jakob Ashlin
Let’s break down 10 tight end sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 4.
With Week 4 of the NFL season officially underway, let’s take a look at ten fantasy football tight end sleepers.
10. Dalton Schultz, Dallas Cowboys
Rostered: 15.3%
Dalton Schultz is coming off a huge game against the Eagles, in which he caught six of his seven targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns.
Schultz was fantastic last season. He was ninth among tight ends in fantasy points from Week 2 to Week 17.
However, there were concerns about his role in the Cowboys’ offense with the return of Blake Jarwin. Well, Schultz has put those concerns to bed. Through three games, Schultz has 40.3 PPR points, while Jarwin has only 15.1 PPR points.
Another concern regarding Schultz was the Cowboys’ crowded depth chart, as Schultz has to compete with Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Gallup for targets. With Gallup on the IR, Schultz could temporarily become the third option in the Cowboys’ explosive passing game.
9. Anthony Firkser, Tennessee Titans
Rostered: 7.5%
Wide receivers Julio Jones and A.J. Brown are both dealing with hamstring injuries. Both players missed Wednesday’s practice.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Jones’s status is “up in the air”, while Brown could miss one to two weeks.
Could the #Titans be without their top two WRs this Sunday?

WR Julio Jones is getting treatment on a leg injury, and his status vs the #Jets is up in the air, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. AJ Brown also may miss a week or two with a hamstring injury.
Obviously, Jones and Brown would be big losses. When both players were healthy in Week 2, they accounted for a combined 17 targets, nine receptions, and 161 receiving yards.
Tight end Anthony Firkser is returning from a knee injury. If Jones does not play, Firkser could be in store for a big game.
