2. Dan Arnold, Jacksonville Jaguars

Rostered: 13.3%

I have listed Dan Arnold as a TE sleeper a few times this season. Since arriving in Jacksonville, Arnold has seen a spike in targets. He has been targeted 23 times over his past three games.

Last Sunday, he finally capitalized on his new role by producing his strongest fantasy performance of the season with eight receptions for 68 yards on ten targets.

Arnold’s targets should continue to keep him fantasy relevant. He should continue to rack up receptions and remain valuable in all PPR leagues.

1. Tyler Conklin, Minnesota Vikings

Rostered: 38.1%

Tyler Conklin has posted double-digit fantasy points in back-to-back weeks. He has been a solid TE2 this season. Right now, he is 15th among tight ends in fantasy points.

This week, he is a good starting option against the Baltimore Ravens for a couple of reasons. First of all, the Ravens’ defense has given up the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. Secondly, Kirk Cousins will likely be forced to throw the ball frequently to keep up with the Ravens’ offense.

Conklin is a TE1 this Sunday.
