- Tucker Kraft is seeing a lot of action lately, with a solid 17.5% target share over the last two games. In that stretch, he’s found the end zone three times and racked up 141 receiving yards. This week, he’s up against the Arizona Cardinals, who are pretty average when it comes to defending tight ends. Kraft’s stock is definitely on the rise, and he’s becoming a key player in his second year.
- George Kittle has been nothing short of reliable, finishing as a top-five tight end for three straight weeks and never dipping below TE10. He’s in a good spot again for Week 6, especially with Christian McCaffrey out of the lineup, giving Kittle even more opportunities to shine.
- Kyle Pitts has had a rough go this season, but he bounced back last week with 88 receiving yards on seven catches. He was used more in short-yardage routes, which is exactly what fantasy managers want to see. He’s got a soft matchup this week against the struggling Panthers, so it’s time to confidently put him back in your lineup.
- Dalton Kincaid hasn’t lived up to expectations this season, struggling to stay on the field for more than 60% of snaps after Week 1. His targets have ticked up recently, but he’s still one of the most unpredictable tight ends in the game right now. With a tough Week 6 matchup against the Jets’ defense, it might be a good idea to bench him if you have better options. I’ve got him ranked TE11, but he’s in a volatile tier that could easily drop to TE16. Kincaid’s breakout feels like it’s still a year away.
