Fantasy Football season is here, and not every team can get the Travis Kelce and Sam LaPortas of the world, which is why it’s essential to know which sleepers could save your Fantasy Football season.
Let’s look at five sleeper fantasy football tight ends you should target.
Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens
Mark Andrews gets all the attention for the Baltimore Ravens, but don’t overlook Isaiah Likely this season. Andrews was injured for the final six games of last year’s regular season, and Likely shined in his absence. Likely ended up catching 21 passes for 322 yards and five touchdowns. Chatter around the Ravens is that they want Likely to be very involved, even with Andrews in front of him on the depth chart. He might be a little inconsistent, but he is someone who can start this season in fantasy.
Noah Fant, Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant doesn’t get as much attention as he once did, but he should, because he’s in a perfect position to have a big season. Fant signed a two-year contract for $21 million this offseason. Will Dressly isn’t on the team anymore, which means even more opportunities for Fant. Fant could end up being a top-10 fantasy tight end, and he can be found in the late rounds.
Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers
Pat Freiermuth had a ton of hype coming out of college when he joined the Pittsburgh Steelers, but last season, the buzz around him really came to a screeching halt. The good news for Freiermuth is he has a good quarterback playing with him now in Russell Wilson, and that should really help his production this season. Freiermuth is someone who can start each week on your fantasy team.
Hunter Henry, New England Patriots
Hunter Henry was very dependent on the touchdown last season, which made him risky, but the production was there as he caught 42 passes for 419 yards and six touchdowns. The New England Patriots have question marks under center, and that means even more targets for the tight end. Henry is going to have a huge season.
Mike Gesicki, Cincinnati Bengals
My favorite sleeper this season is Mike Gesicki, who is a tight end for the Cincinnati Bengals. Gesicki gets to catch passes from Joe Burrow. Opposing defenses also have to focus on Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Gesicki will be wide open plenty this season, and Burrow will pass him the rock. There should be plenty of opportunities for him with the Bengals.
