START ‘EM – TE

56. . Tight End. Cincinnati Bengals. Tyler Eifert. 1. player

Tyler Eifert isn’t the most appealing option at tight end like he used to be, but this is a week where he’s a good choice at a thin position. The Cardinals have been putrid at defending tight ends this year, most recently allowing Will Dissly of Seattle to put up monster numbers.

I know the Bengals are coming off an absolute horrid offensive performance, but the Cardinals defense should be one they can make plays against. Get Eifert into your lineup.

SIT ‘EM – TE

2. player. 57. . Tight End. Chicago Bears. Trey Burton

Even though the Raiders aren’t great against the tight end, Trey Burton isn’t a sexy option this week for a few reasons. For one, the Bears are rolling with their backup quarterback due to an injury to Mitchell Trubisky.

Secondly, he’s not a consistent member of the Bears offensive plans. He should be a red zone target, but that simply hasn’t been the case to this point. Don’t expect Burton to do much for you in week five.
