Week 6 TE Rankings 2024

Check back every week as we rank the TEs ahead of their potential matchups. The position is as deep as ever and you will want to know who start and who to bench based on matchup’s, projections and sometimes just gut feel.

RK	PLAYER NAME	TEAM	OPP	Blurb
1	George Kittle	SF	SEA	Kittle comes in at the top spot for a consecutive week. He played through a rib injury last week and tallied eight receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown. They have a quick turnaround this week with the Thursday night game so be sure to check his practice status throughout the week.
2	Trey McBride	ARI	GB	Trey McBride returned to the lineup last week and put up a solid performance. He has potential for even more this week in their potential shootout against the Packers.
3	Brock Bowers	LV	PIT	Through five weeks Bowers leads all TE's in receptions and yards. The only reason he isn't in the top spot is because I expect a lower scoring affair between the Steelers and Raiders this week.
4	Jake Ferguson	DAL	DET	Ferguson has consistently produced at least 11ppr fantasy points in each of the last three weeks. I expect that to continue this week and he has potential to find the end zone for the first time this year in an explosive matchup vs Detroit.
5	Sam LaPorta	DET	DAL	If someone told you before the season week 6 LaPorta plays Ferguson and Ferguson will be ranked higher going into the matchup not many people would believe you. That is just the type of season it has been for LaPorta. I do think he eventually breaks out of his slump it is just a matter of when.
6	Dallas Goedert	PHI	CLE	Goedert should be rested coming off a bye week. Despite already having his bye he still ranks as the TE4 on the year. He is a good start this week vs Cleveland.
7	Tucker Kraft	GB	ARI	With Love back under center Kraft had his second big game in a row. He has catch and run ability and should be able to put it to good use this week vs Arizona.
8	Pat Freiermuth	PIT	LV	Freiermuth said after the loss to Dallas last week that he is not going to complain about targets and will continue to do his job and block regardless. Hopefully that reverse psychology actually earns him a few more targets this week vs the Raiders.
9	Dalton Kincaid	BUF	NYJ	Another week of the Bills needing a top pass catching option and another week of Kincaid not stepping up. In addition to his lackluster start to the season the Jets also present a touch matchup for tight ends.
10	Kyle Pitts	ATL	CAR	Pitts had one of the best games of his career last week with seven catches for 88 yards. With that being said I'm not all in on him yet, but if you need a start there are worse options this week.
11	Cole Kmet	CHI	JAX	Kmet had almost 60 yards on three catches last week. Caleb Williams seems to be finding his groove and Kmet could be a beneficiary. He is a viable start if in a pinch.
12	Tyler Conklin	NYJ	BUF	Robert Salah was fired this week, in all honestly it's only up from here for the offense. They currently have the same amount of points they did through the first five weeks as they did when Zach Wilson was starting.
13	Isaiah Likely	BAL	WAS	Likely is still the fifth rated TE in fantasy through five weeks. He is running more routes than Andrews and this could be a high scoring affair against Washington.
14	Zach Ertz	WAS	BAL	Ertz is sandwiched between his two TE opponents in the rankings this week. He only had two catches for ten yards last week but the Ravens give up the 4th most points to the position through five weeks.
15	Mark Andrews	BAL	WAS	Andrews had four catches for 55 yards last week but Jared Goff still has more receiving TDs than him on the season. Start at your own risk.
16	Dalton Shultz	HOU	NE	It seems like Nico Collins will miss this week. That would increase Shultz value although he is not much of a ceiling play he does provide a good floor.
17	Cade Otton	TB	NO	He had three grabs for 44 yards last week and with Baker looking like a borderline top 10 option at QB there could be enough passing production to spread around.
18	Mike Gesicki	CIN	NYG	It looks like now that Tee Higgins is back, Mike's role in the offense has significantly diminished. He should be left on the wire.
19	Brenton Strange	JAX	CHI	Strange has been okay filling in for Engram but by no means is he considered a quality starter at the position.
20	Hunter Henry	NE	HOU	There is some speculation that a change at QB could be coming in New England. If that is the case rookies tend to target their TE more as a safety blanket.
21	Noah Fant	SEA	SF	Fant is not involved in the offense enough to be considered as a starter. In fact there is very little reason to even roster him as a back up at this point.
22	Juwan Johnson	NO	TB	He had five catches last week but only 31 yards. Would not recommend starting this week.
23	Taysom Hill	NO	TB	Hill will likely be questionable due to a rib injury this week. Too risky of a play to commit too.
24	Erick All Jr	CIN	NYG	He had as many catches as teammate TE Mike Gesicki but sadly that number was only two. There are just too many mouths to feed in Cincy especially with target hogs Tee Higgins and Ja'Mar Chase.
25	David Njoku	CLE	PHI	Njoku returned last week but only recorded one catch before being taken out for the remainder of the game due to injury. I would say it is unlikely he suits up this week. With that being said he could hold some additional value in the future if Cooper is traded and Watson is benched.
26	Evan Engram	JAX	CHI	Until he plays I can't rank him in the top 20. It seems every week there is some optimism he plays but I will believe it when I see it.
27	Chig Okonkwo	TEN	IND	If Levis or Rudolph starts it doesn't matter he is not someone you want to rely on in fantasy.
28	Jordan Akins	CLE	PHI	He scored a TD last week so anyone who played in DFS was happy. Other than a DFS dart throw he has no appeal in fantasy leagues.
29	Theo Johnson	NYG	CIN	He had a good game last week with five grabs for almost 50 yards. The rookie TE is someone you want to keep an eye on as he makes his debut in the weekly TE ranks.
30	Dawson Knox	BUF	NYJ	With Kincaid failing to take off for the Bills some have speculated Knox could step up. However, so far that has not been the case.
31	Luke Musgrave	GB	ARI	Kraft is the locked and loaded TE1 on the team but if he gets injured maybe Musgrave has some appeal.
32	Hayden Hurst	CAR	DEN	Not a viable fantasy play at this point.
