4. C.J. Uzomah, Cincinnati Bengals

Rostered: 3.9%

C.J. Uzomah had only five targets and 7.9 fantasy points across the first three weeks of the season. Surprisingly, Uzomah had a huge game against the Jaguars last Thursday. He recorded five receptions for 95 yards and two touchdowns.

That performance seems like an anomaly, but in deep leagues, Uzomah is an intriguing flier coming off a great performance.

3. Mo Alie-Cox, Indianapolis Colts

Rostered: 0.4%

The Colts’ tight end rotation has been confusing, at times. Jack Doyle received eight targets in Week 2. In Week 4, Doyle was only targeted once, while Mo Alie-Cox scored two touchdowns.

For now, Alie-Cox seems like the better option. He has flashed fantasy potential in the past. Last year, he had 111 receiving yards in a game against the Vikings.

He will have a great matchup against the Ravens, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends through the first four weeks.
