High-Cost Option: Tyler Eifert $5,300

As previously mentioned, the Steelers have had a tough time defending tight ends on the season, as they've given up the fourth-most fantasy points to the position. Tyler Eifert's roller coaster of a season should be on the way up with this week's divisional rival game. Despite the inconsistencies, Eifert has been the fourth-best tight end in terms of numberFire's Reception NEP metric and will look to improve that number this week. Only the Raiders have allowed opposing tight ends to score more touchdowns than the Steelers, and touchdowns are one of the biggest factors we should look for if fading Rob Gronkowski in a given week.

Mid-Cost Option: Delanie Walker $4,100

There aren't a lot of great options at tight end this week, and I certainly recommend finding a way to pay up for one. But if you're caught in a budget bind and need to save a few dollars, Tennessee's Delanie Walker is just about the only consistent weapon on that team. Walker has scored at least 12 fantasy points in four of the five games he's played this season and is seeing consistent looks with 8.8 targets per game after returning from injury. At $4,100, we're just looking for Walker to keep that consistency going and have him rack up another 12 points to hit value.

Low-Cost Option: Eric Ebron $3,100

It's difficult to project with too much confidence what this Detroit offense will look like after firing Joe Lombardi, but new offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter should continue to keep finding ways to target Eric Ebron if he wants to turn this offense around. Ebron has seen nearly six targets per game thrown his way and has had double digit fantasy outings in each game he's finished. The Chiefs have been rather stingy against tight ends this season, but Ebron is a big 6'4" physical threat that is three-for-three in turning all of his red zone targets into touchdowns.

GPP Wildcard: Austin Seferian-Jenkins $2,800

Make sure to check the injury report before Sunday's kickoff, but if deemed healthy, Austin Seferian-Jenkins could be in for a big game against Atlanta. The Buccaneers have already ruled out wide receivers Vincent Jackson (knee) and Louis Murphy (torn ACL) this week, and will need a big game from Seferian-Jenkins if they hope to keep pace with Atlanta's offense this week. Seferian-Jenkins hasn't played since Week 2, but we caught a glimpse of his potential during a 5-catch, 110-yard performance with 2 touchdowns during Week 1. Undoubtedly a risk, ASJ could be a sneaky under the radar play with some high volume given the recent injuries to the offense.
