Finding the right fantasy football TE sleepers can make a huge impact in Week 10, especially for managers dealing with injuries, difficult matchups or tough start-sit decisions. Beyond the obvious weekly starters, several tight end sleepers could see increased opportunities this week.

Each week, we highlight five tight ends who have a path to outperform expectations because of their role, matchup, recent usage or opportunities in their offense. These picks can help season-long fantasy football managers looking for a sleeper or FLEX option, and we include DraftKings salaries for players in good spots to provide DFS value.

Brevyn Spann-Ford, Dallas Cowboys ($3,200)

Why he’s a Week 10 fantasy football sleeper: Spann-Ford was on this list last week, when Jake Ferguson was questionable with an ankle injury. Ferguson played but sustained a knee injury that will likely keep him out for multiple games. Spann-Ford has multiple catches in four straight games and has 15 targets over that stretch. He’s in a neutral matchup with the 49ers, but the game could become high-scoring.

Colby Parkinson, Los Angeles Rams ($3,000)

Why he’s a Week 10 fantasy football sleeper: Parkinson could have a huge role for the Rams since both Davante Adams (hamstring) and Puka Nacua (knee) are sidelined this week. While each has been injured, this will be the first time both are out, leaving more work for Parkinson and the tight ends. Parkinson had four catches for 13 yards in Week 9 after missing Week 8. He has 14 catches in his last three games and could see a large workload against the Cardinals, against whom he had 14.1 FPTS in Week 6.

Gunnar Helm, Tennessee Titans ($3,000)

Why he’s a Week 10 fantasy football sleeper: Before his team’s Week 9 bye, Helm had his best game of the season, catching five of his nine targets for 76 yards. Part of his expanded work was due to the absence of Carnell Tate (shoulder), who is out again in Week 10. Helm had been quiet before his Week 8 breakout, but that big game could help him turn around his second NFL season after a slow start.

Tommy Tremble, Carolina Panthers ($2,900)

Why he’s a Week 10 fantasy football sleeper: Even with Darren Waller ($3,600) going off for 23 FPTS last week, Tremble was still very involved. Tremble had four catches on six targets for 24 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 12.4 FPTS. He had an even better 20.6 FPTS in Week 6 against the Eagles and has proven that he can be a boom-or-bust value play even while sharing time with Waller at this position.

Ben Yurosek, Minnesota Vikings ($2,500)

Why he’s a Week 10 fantasy football sleeper: The Vikings will welcome back Kirk Cousins ($5,300) as they take on the Packers, but one key option will be out: tight end T.J. Hockenson (wrist). Cousins usually gets his tight ends very involved in the offense, and Hockenson could be a great option going forward. While he is out, though, Yurosek and Gavin Bartholomew ($2,500) are expected to split the workload. Yurosek had a 24-yard catch in Week 8 against the Lions and has been slightly more involved as a receiver. It’s a high-risk, high-value spot to get a starter at the minimum salary, but Yurosek is worth considering if you are punting a TE or FLEX spot to make the rest of your lineup work.
