10 TE sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 14
By Jakob Ashlin
Let’s break down 10 tight end sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 14.
Week 14 will mark the bye week for a few impactful fantasy football tight ends including Mike Gesicki, Dallas Goedert, and Hunter Henry. If you are searching for a sleeper to start this week, here are ten options.
10. Ryan Griffin, New York Jets
Rostered: 0.3%
Last week, Ryan Griffin had two receptions for 15 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles. Unfortunately, he had to exit the game early after suffering an ankle injury.
Griffin has played a larger role for the Jets in recent weeks. In the Jets’ Week 12 matchup against the Texans, Griffin had three receptions for 20 yards, but he also dropped a pass in the end zone.
Griffin’s status for Sunday’s game is unclear. He did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.
However, if he does play, Griffin is a touchdown-dependent sleeper in deeper leagues.
9. Nick Vannett, New Orleans Saints
Rostered: 0.0%
With Adam Trautman on the IR, Nick Vannett has become relevant in fantasy football leagues. Vannett scored his first touchdown of the season in the Saints’ Week 12 game against the Bills. He followed that performance up with three receptions for 48 yards last week against the Cowboys.
In addition, fellow tight end Juwan Johnson has only been targeted once over the past two games. So, Vannett is clearly the top tight end in New Orleans, right now.
He is a solid option in deeper leagues.
