6. David Njoku, Cleveland Browns

Rostered: 9.4%

David Njoku is coming off a huge game against the Chargers. He recorded seven receptions for 149 yards and a touchdown.

It seems unlikely that Njoku would repeat that performance. However, wide receiver Jarvis Landry remains on the IR. Njoku should have a clear path to targets again against the Cardinals on Sunday.

He is an interesting flier, if the other tight ends on the list are not available in your league.

5. Hunter Henry, New England Patriots

Rostered: 54.3%

Hunter Henry had a season-high in yards (75), receptions (6), and targets (8) last week against the Texans. He has also scored a touchdown in two consecutive games.

Henry is an extremely talented tight end, but he has had to share snaps with Jonnu Smith in New England. Smith began the season as the stronger option, but the two players appear to have swapped places.

Smith was only targeted twice last game. Furthermore, Henry has scored more fantasy points than Smith in each of the last three games.

He is a borderline TE1 against a vulnerable Cowboys’ defense.
