Tight end has been rough for fantasy football owners this year, and this week, we are keeping an eye on four talented tight ends (Kyle Pitts, Pat Freiermuth, Dawson Knox, and Dalton Schultz) who are dealing with injuries and Trevor Bauer Jersey figure to be "questionable" or "out" for Week 6, prompting all sorts of dilemmas for Week 6 start 'em, sit 'em decisions. Anyone up for last-second waiver wire pickups at a position where the talent drop-off from starter to streamer can be significant?Below, we'll give you the latest news on these standout TEs and break down how their injuries could potentially affect the Week 6 fantasy landscape. For updates on banged-up RBsJonathan Taylor,Damien Harris,James Conner, andRaheem Mostert,; for the latest on ailing WRsKeenan Allen,Michael Thomas,Chris Olave,Rashod Bateman, andTee Higgins,.WEEK 6 FANTASY PICKS: | | UPDATE itts (hamstring) is officially listed as "questionable" entering Atlanta's Week 6 home contest against San Francisco,.UPDATE itts (hamstring) is practicing for a second-straight day, .Pitts (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday after mi sing last week's road contest against the Buccaneers, .The second-year tight end was limited in practice on Yan Gomes Jersey Wednesday . Fantasy owners are hoping Pitts can bounce back after a rough start to the season with 10 receptions (22 targets) for 150 yards. The last time we saw the former first-round pick on the field, he recorded one reception (four targets) for 25 yards against the Browns in Week 4. He has a tough matchup Sunda,y as the 49ers are allowing 5.15 fantasy points per game to TEs (fifth fewest in the NFL). However, Pitts is still one of the better tight ends in the league and should be considered a low-end TE1 this week.WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | UPDATE: Freiermuth (concu sion) is out for Week 6,.Freiermuth (concu sion) was among nine Steelers players who did not practice on Wednesday, .The second-year tight end suffered a concu sion in last week's road defeat against the Bills. This is now the third concu sion that Freiermuth has suffered in his short career. The Tyler Naquin Jersey Steelers will continue to monitor his status as he tries to clear the league's concu sion protocols. If Freiermuth cannot play, fantasy owners will have to hit the waiver wire for tight ends with favorable matchups, such as Evan Engram (@ Indianapolis), Irv Smith Jr. (@ Dolphins), or Will Di sly and Noah Fant (vs. Cardinals).WEEK 6 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | UPDATE 2: Knox (foot, hamstring) is not listed on .UPDATE:Knox (foot, hamstring) was seen at practice on Thursday, .Knox (foot, hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday ahead of the big Bills-Chiefs game on Sunday.The Bills are hoping to get the 25-year-old tight end back into the Cody Allen Jersey lineup after he mi sed last week's game with multiple injuries. Without Knox, the Bills leaned on rookie Quintin Morris, who posted three receptions (five targets) for 39 yards. If Knox plays this weekend, he's a low-tier TE1 option against the Chiefs, who are allowing 10.75 FPPG to Bob Feller Jersey TEs this season (11th most in the league).WEEK 6 DFS: | UPDATE:Schultz is not on the Cowboys' final injury update.Schultz (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday ahead of the Cowboys' prime-time matchup against the Eagles.The veteran tight end in last week's win over the Rams. Schultz bumped his knee in the second quarter and returned briefly before sitting out the second half. This season, the 26-year-old has nine receptions (17 targets) for 80 yards. However, in the past two weeks, he's received just four targets and recorded zero receptions. If Schultz plays on Sunday night, he likely isn't worth starting, as the Eagles are only allowing 7.79 FPPG to TEs this season. |
