8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 6

Lance Kendricks, TE, Los Angeles Rams

Lance Kendricks is another low-floor tight end who draws a good matchup, offering decent upside if you're in a bind at the position this week.

He sees no shortage of playing time for the Los Angeles Rams, having played 92% of their offensive snaps to start the season. He's averaging only 4.6 targets per game through Week 5, though he has been fairly heavily involved in a couple of weeks with games of 6 and 7 targets, respectively, in Week 2 and Week 4.

If there is ever a week to expect increased involvement for Kendricks, it's this one. He's up against a Detroit Lions defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, giving up an average of 5.6 receptions for 59.8 yards and a league-worst 1.2 touchdowns per game to the position.

The Lions have also allowed touchdowns on 44.8% of their defensive red zone passing plays, the second-highest mark in the league, and even a weak Rams' offense has some touchdown upside this week.
