Fantasy Football Week 6 Tight End Rankings

Publish Date: October 14, 2022

The 2022-23 NFL season has already been extremely entertaining. Bye weeks are starting to take place. This means that tight ends like T.J. Hockenson and Darren Waller will be out this week. On top of that injuries have started to mount up at this point of the season. It is always a great idea to evaluate backup options so that way fantasy managers are prepared if star players miss time. Here are the fantasy football week 6 tight end rankings.

Key:

Must Start- a player who is in your lineup regardless of the matchup or most circumstances. They Will likely finish near the top of the league in points that week and in most weeks.

Starting TE1- a player who makes fantasy owners comfortable starting week after week. Regardless of the matchup, this player has a solid floor.

TD Dependent Starter- a player who may not be a lock to start for a team every week, but will start more times than not because of depth at the position. Their production is based on whether they can get in the end zone or not. It can be the difference between a top 10 performance or a top 25 performance

Deep League Starter- a player whose ceiling isn’t high but should put up enough production to be started in deep leagues. When a player like this is started it is because their production though it will likely be low, will be better than a few options.

Leave on the Bench- a player who should be avoided in all lineups that week. Many times this player could even be left on waivers.

Possible Changes that can occur before Sunday

TE3 Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams

Tyler Higbee was limited in practice on Thursday with an ankle injury. If Higbee misses this week’s game against the Carolina Panthers Kendall Blanton would start for Carolina and would be in play for DFS.

TE8 Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers

Pat Freiermuth was limited in practice on Thursday with a concussion. If Frieiermuth misses this week’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Zach Gentry becomes the TE29 for the week between Hunter Henry and Mo Alie-Cox.

TE9 Kyle Pitts,Atlanta Falcons

Kyle Pitts missed last week’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a hamstring injury. If he is to miss this week’s game against the San Francisco 49ers Parker Hesse would start at tight end for Atlanta but should be nowhere near any fantasy lineups.

TE15 Dalton Scultz, Dallas Cowboys

Dalton Schultz was limited in practice Thursday with a knee injury. If Schultz misses this week’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot become DFS players this week.

TE15 Hayden Hurst, Cincinnati Bengals

Hayden Hurst was limited in practice Wednesday with a groin injury. If he was to miss this week’s game against the Baltimore Ravens then Devin Asiasi would join the list as TE32 between Jelani Woods and Austin Hooper.

TE22 Cameron Brate, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Cameron Brate missed last week’s game with a concussion. If he misses this week’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Cade Otton becomes the TE25 for the week between Daniel Bellinger and Cole Kmet. 

TE31 Jonnu Smith, New England Patriots

Jonnu Smith was limited in practice on Wednesday with an ankle injury. If Smith misses this week’s game against the Cleveland Browns then Hunter Henry moves up to TE29 between Mike Gesicki and Mo Alie-Cox.
