NFL Tight End Rankings: Week 6 Fantasy Football

RotoBaller brings you our Week 6 fantasy football tight end rankings by authors Zach Wilkens (@LopsidedTrades) and Ryan Rufe (@RyanRufe), along with tight end rankings analysis by Zach Wilkens. For even more Week 6 rankings and analysis, be sure to check out our positional rankings for all other positions.

 

Week 6 Tight End Rankings Analysis

Gronk finally delivered a big game, and there's no reason for me to doubt him going forward. I feel like Julius Thomas has to have a game without a touchdown at some point, but it seems unlikely against the Jets. He's currently on a record pace which will be fun to watch. Larry Donnell laid an egg last week but I still like him a lot overall. It's clear that Eli won't throw to him if he's covered, but he is still their best goal line threat.

Antonio Gates has been so up and down this year. If you own him I think you start him and just accept that it's going to be either really good or really bad. I'm still waiting for that Jordan Cameron breakout game, but getting a little worried. I think Vernon Davis plays this week but it is a Monday night game. If we don't get clarity by Sunday, you'll have to bench him.

Dwayne Allen has delivered a touchdown in 4 out of 5 games this year. That's not going to continue every week, but I think he can definitely get to ten on the season and has a nice ceiling that most tight ends don't have. If Jordan Reed doesn't return this week I still like Niles Paul a lot - he didn't have a bad game until facing Seattle. Between Jace Amaro and Austin Seferian-Jenkins, I'm expecting one of them to have a strong breakthrough game soon. It could be Amaro against the Broncos this week.

Good luck in Week 6 RotoBallers!
