8. Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears

Rostered: 11.3%

Before the Bears’ bye week, Cole Kmet was starting to build some momentum. He saw an increase in targets; he received 20 targets over his past three games.

That increase in usage led to a direct increase in production. From Week 6 to Week 9, Kmet was fifth among tight ends in receiving yards.

Kmet’s lack of touchdown production has limited his fantasy value, thus far; Kmet has not recorded a receiving touchdown this season.

However, that could change very soon. Kmet’s red-zone targets are also on the rise. He has been targeted four times in the red zone across his past two games. Prior to that, he received only two red-zone targets all season.

He will have a favorable matchup this week against the Ravens, who are allowing the third-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season.

Kmet has sneaky TE1 upside this week.

7. C.J. Uzomah, Cincinnati Bengals

Rostered: 16.4%

After a four-game stretch where he recorded five receiving touchdowns, C.J. Uzomah cooled off in his past two games with 13.7 total fantasy points.

However, he is set to have a great matchup this week against the Raiders, who are allowing the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season.

Uzomah is a streaming option with high upside.
