Week 6 Fantasy Football Projections: Jermaine Gresham and 3 Top TEs

Jermaine Gresham, Jermichael Finley and Jimmy Graham are this week's top fantasy football tight ends. 

The tight end position is an underrated fantasy football slot.  Tight ends are capable to putting up significant numbers.  More and more teams around the league are looking to feature the tight end position.

Jermaine Gresham

The Cincinnati Bengals have a lot of young talent, including Gresham.  The young tight end is a former first-round selection.  He is proving to be a very good pass-catching option.  Each week, Gresham is improving, while developing a good relationship with Andy Dalton.

Gresham and the Bengals are facing a struggling Indianapolis Colts team.  The Colts are having a tough time on both sides of the football.  When facing a struggling team, offenses are often expected to have a good performance.  Gresham has become a real red zone threat, giving him a good shot of scoring a touchdown.

Jermichael Finley

Finley is quickly emerging as one of the most dangerous tight ends in the NFL.  He has excellent size combined with excellent quickness.  His skill set makes him major mismatch for opposing defenses. 

Finley's fantasy value is increased by the presence of Aaron Rodgers, who is one of the league's top quarterbacks.

The only concern with Finley is the fact that Rodgers likes to spread the football.  This means that Finley is kind of a hit or miss play.  However, it is hard to keep such a talented player on your fantasy football bench.

Jimmy Graham

Outside of maybe Finley, Graham has been the most impressive tight end in the NFL.  He is quickly becoming Drew Brees' favorite target, a very coveted spot. 

Brees is a big-time quarterback, and if you're his top target, you will have a great season.

Graham has proven to be a must-start fantasy tight end.  He not only is a big-play threat, but a dangerous red zone target.  Graham is consistently the No. 1 red zone target for this Saints football team.
