10 TE sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 10
By Jakob Ashlin
4. Tyler Conklin, Minnesota Vikings
Rostered: 41.8%
Tyler Conklin is coming off three solid performances:
Week 6 @ CAR: three receptions, 71 yards
Week 8 vs. DAL: five receptions, 57 yards
Week 9 @ BAL: five receptions, 45 yards
However, Conklin has not scored a touchdown, since Week 3 against the Seahawks.
He is nearly guaranteed to receive a good amount of targets. Conklin has been targeted seven times in each of the last two games. So, he is a player with a high floor. Even if he does not get into the end zone, he should have some receptions and receiving yards.
Nevertheless, he carries a good amount of upside this week against the Chargers, who have given up the sixth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season.
3. Dawson Knox, Buffalo Bills
Rostered: 69.7%
Dawson Knox was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice. It was Knox’s first time practicing since he underwent hand surgery.
Before suffering a hand injury in his Week 6 matchup against the Titans, Knox was an excellent fantasy tight end. From Week 1 to Week 5, Knox scored the third-most fantasy points among tight ends trailing only Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews.
Knox established himself as one of Josh Allen’s favorite red-zone targets, and he had an unbelievable run in which he recorded five receiving touchdowns in four games.
If Knox is active against the Jets this Sunday, he is an excellent fantasy option.
