10 TE sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 14
By Jakob Ashlin
4. Ricky Seals-Jones, Washington Football Team
Rostered: 8.1%
As I previously mentioned, Logan Thomas suffered a season-ending knee injury last week. As a result, Ricky Seals-Jones will see a large boost in fantasy value.
Seals-Jones played well in Thomas’s absence earlier this season. From Week 5 to Week 7, he was eighth among tight ends in fantasy points.
During that three-game stretch, he had a total of 15 receptions,150 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 22 targets.
Seals-Jones is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game with a hip injury, but if he plays, he is firmly in the TE1 conversation.
Seals-Jones’s status should be monitored over the next couple of days. If he does not play, John Bates will carry some upside.
3. Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears
Rostered: 17.3%
Last week, Cole Kmet had three receptions for 41 yards on seven targets. Kmet has been heavily involved in the Bears’ passing game. He was targeted 11 times in the Bears’ Week 12 game against the Lions.
For the season, Kmet is tied for the ninth-most targets among tight ends. That is a staggering number considering his low rostered percentage.
Kmet carries upside every week due to his role in Chicago’s offense. He is a solid option this week against the Packers.
