Who are the best fantasy TEs for Week 4?
We're still going with Tucker Kraft and Brock Bowers among the elites despite quiet Week 3 outputs.
Sam LaPorta, Jake Ferguson, and Tyler Warren deserve starts, and we're cautiously advocating for Mark Andrews, Dalton Kincaid, Hunter Henry, and Juwan Johnson to continue their revival and/or breakout.
LAST WEEK’S RECAP: What happened in fantasy Week 3 | Week 3 Injuries
Which TE sleepers should I target in fantasy Week 4?
- T.J. Hockenson's fantasy stock ❤️ Carson Wentz, especially against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed 3 TDs to the position in the past two weeks. Don't worry about Jordan Addison's return; his presence will mostly chew into the targets of wideouts on the depth chart behind him and Justin Jefferson.
- If you're stuck, roll with Harold Fannin Jr. against a Detroit Lions defense that let Mark Andrews re-enter fantasy football relevance in Week 3.
- Oronde Gadsden Jr. was heavily involved for the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3 and may carve out a weekly role soon. The New York Giants seem happy to give up plenty of targets and catches to tight ends over the middle, as evidence in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys and Jake Ferguson.
