Finally, the fantasy tight ends woke up for Week 5 of the season. Kyle Pitts put up a 7/87 line, Darren Waller 8/86, Dalton Schultz 7/65/1, Logan Thomas 9/77/1, Dallas Goedert 8/117/1 and George Kittle 3/63/3. These were all players who had done very little to date in fantasy. It was great to see and hopefully this jump starts some of these guys moving forward.

Injury news to monitor
Travis Kelce missed some time in Week 5 due to an ankle sprain, but was ultimately able to return to the game and score a big touchdown. He does have a quick turnaround though due to playing on Thursday night. He probably will play, but might not be 100%.
Dalton Kincaid is in concussion protocol and could miss this week, while his TE running mate Dawson Knox picked up a wrist injury in Week 5. Knox probably has the better chance to suit up and if Kincaid is out, Knox could have some fantasy value.
Streaming options for Week 6
Logan Thomas has been a very good tight end in this league, but injuries have derailed much of his career. He is healthy right now and coming off a great game. This week he’ll face the Falcons who rank 5th-worst in fantasy points allowed to tight ends.
Zach Ertz finally found the end zone last week, but has been seeing a ton of targets this season, ranking fourth-most with 34. It hasn’t translated into a lot of fantasy points, but the Cardinals get a Rams defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to tight ends, including touchdowns to Andrew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox.
