13. Ladarius Green - Pittsburgh inked Ladarius Green to a four-year, $20 million contract to replace 11-year Steeler veteran Heath Miller, who retired this offseason. After sitting in the wings behind Antonio Gates for four seasons, Green enters a terrific situation to capitalize on a vacated 173 targets (29.3% target market share) and 29 red zone looks (36.3%) between Miller and Martavis Bryant (suspension).
14. Charles Clay - Clay didn't quite live up to his mega contract the Bills shelled out for him last season, posting just a 51-528-3 stat line as the TE18 in fantasy. Buffalo had the highest run percentage of plays last season, limiting Clay's ceiling after averaging just 5.9 targets per game. Buffalo was also one of the least productive red zone passing teams -- passing just 39.6 percent of the time -- and Clay seeing only three red zone targets the entire season.
15. Zach Miller - In his final eight games last season, Miller averaged 12.7 PPR points per game, a pace that would've netted him the overall TE6 finish last season. There are question marks regarding the target share with a healthy Kevin White entering the fold, but Miller could be a prime sleeper candidate for 2016.
16. Julius Thomas - After breaking his hand during the preseason, Thomas started the season with his new team behind the eight ball. Thomas still managed to have five top-12 weeks despite missing four games. He saw more targets per game (6.67) than both Eifert and Kelce, and has the potential to be a big time red zone threat for a team that led the league in red zone passing attempts.
17. Eric Ebron - Among last year's starters, only Tyler Eifert converted more red zone targets into touchdowns than Eric Ebron's 62.5% rate. Detroit has 235 unaccounted for targets from last season after leading the league in passing play percentage. Ebron has the potential for some serious work in the red zone in his third season after quarterback Matthew Stafford threw 26 touchdowns there without any interceptions.
18. Austin Seferian-Jenkins - Among tight ends with 20-plus receptions, Austin Seferian-Jenkins had the highest Reception NEP per target last year. He led all tight ends in fantasy points per snap, and was second in fantasy points per route run. Now fully healthy, we'll see if Dirk Koetter can get the most out of the former second-round draft pick (38th overall).
