2. Ricky Seals-Jones, Washington Football Team

Rostered: 36.4%

Ricky Seals-Jones was my number one sleeper last week, and he delivered with four receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs.

With Logan Thomas on the IR, Seals-Jones has been heavily involved in Washington’s passing game. He has been targeted 15 times in the last two games.

Due to his current target share, he should continue to be a TE1 option, as long as Thomas remains out.

1. Zach Ertz, Arizona Cardinals

Rostered: 61.3%

Zach Ertz is still one of the most talented tight ends in the NFL. Now, he should see an expanded role in Arizona.

With the Eagles, Ertz had to contend with Dallas Goedert for targets. With Maxx Williams on the IR, Ertz will unquestionably be the number one tight end for the Cardinals.

Ertz should thrive in Arizona’s high-powered offense. The Cardinals are averaging 32.3 points per game (fourth in the NFL), so he is in an ideal situation for fantasy production.

Finally, he will have a great matchup on Sunday against the Texans’ defense. The Texans are giving up the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season.

Ertz should be rostered in all leagues.
