Imagine you're setting your fantasy football lineup for Week 6. Tight ends are often an afterthought, but not this week! Let's dive into the top players you should keep an eye on. Cole Kmet, tight end for the Chicago Bears, is a must-start in all leagues. He's been consistent, hauling in at least three catches in four straight games. This week, the Bears face the Jacksonville Jaguars, who aren't the toughest on tight ends.

Cade Otton from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is another solid choice. He's been targeted a lot lately, with 21 targets in his last three games. The Buccaneers are up against the New Orleans Saints, who have a mixed record against tight ends. Otton is expected to shine, even with the challenging defense.

Zach Ertz, a veteran for the Washington Commanders, might not have scored a touchdown yet, but he's still a key part of the offense. He's been targeted often, and this week, facing the Baltimore Ravens, who are weak against tight ends, he could easily hit 50 receiving yards.

Theo Johnson, a rookie for the New York Giants, is a dark horse candidate. With the absence of star receiver Malik Nabers, Johnson could see more targets. The Giants face the Cincinnati Bengals, who have struggled against tight ends.

Don't forget about injury statuses for David Njoku, Kyle Pitts, and Evan Engram if you have them on your team. Also, be sure to sit or drop players from teams on bye this week, like the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, and Minnesota Vikings.
