Tight Ends
Jordan Reed – Washington Redskins (75.7 percent)
Redskins tight end Jordan Reed is the definition of a fantasy sleeper. He’s ranked fifth among tight ends, averages eight points per contest and is only owned in 75.7 percent of leagues.
Reed’s value comes in the redzone. He has proven that he’s quarterback Kirk Cousins’ top option by scoring an astonishing five touchdowns over the past three games. In a touchdown base league, that’s the best possible production anyone could ask for.
If available, Reed is a must-add.
Jacob Tamme – Atlanta Falcons (22 percent)
The Falcons are coming off their Week 10 bye and are facing the Indianapolis Colts this week. Flashback to Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tamme showed his fantasy potential by catching ten passes for 103 yards and one touchdown.
With defenses keying in on other Falcons’ threats such as running back Devonta Freeman and wide receiver Julio Jones, expect to see Tamme produce numbers like he did back in Week 8. Another big factor that points Tamme’s fantasy potential upwards is the style of offense he plays in. Quarterback Matt Ryan likes to sling the football, which means possibly more targets for Tamme, which in the end results in more fantasy points.
For owners who are searching for a tight end in deep fantasy leagues, Tamme isn’t a bad option considering his potential and the kind of offense he plays in.
