Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 6: Tight end rankings

Tight ends can be one of the trickiest NFL positions to navigate during each Fantasy Football season. A few elite options need to be started in every game. The rest of the field needs to be analyzed each week and only started in the right matchups.

Most tight ends are capable of busting in any week, but starting the right ones can be the difference between winning and losing a Fantasy Football matchup. Here are three to target and three others to avoid in Week 6 of the 2022 Fantasy Football season.

Week 6 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Start 'Em

Tight ends to target in Week 6 Fantasy Football.

Hayden Hurst - Cincinnati Bengals vs. New Orleans Saints

Hayden Hurst is quietly having a highly productive season for the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite competing for targets from Joe Burrow within a loaded offensive unit, Hurst has established a consistent role for himself.

Hurst has scored ten or more Fantasy Football points in three of his five games so far this season. He has also recorded a touchdown in each of his last two consecutive games. He carries some momentum into Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints.

Gerald Everett - Los Angeles Charegers vs. Denver Broncos

Gerald Everett currently ranks ninth in fantasy points among all tight ends during the 2022 Fantasy Football season, despite a disappointing Week 5 game against the Cleveland Browns. He has exceeded five targets and 50 yards three times this year, while totaling two touchdowns.

Everett continues to be a steady contributor for quarterback Justin Herbert within the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive scheme. He should continue to see relatively high volume, especially while Keenan Allen recovers from an injury, making him a solid starter in Week 6.

Evan Engram - Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Indianapolis Colts

Evan Engram qualifies as a solid streaming option in Week 6 of the Fantasy Football season. He is in a favorable matchup. He also carries some momentum after setting season highs in targets and yards during his Week 5 game.

Engram will now face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6 against a defense that has struggled against opposing tight ends. They rank in the bottom ten in fantasy points per week against tight ends. When Engram faced them in Week 2, he set a season high with seven receptions.

Week 6 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Sit 'Em

Tight ends to avoid in Week 6 Fantasy Football

Robert Tonyan - Green Bay Packers vs. New York Jets

The Green Bay Packers lost Davante Adams to theLas Vegas Raiders during the 2022 NFL offseason. With the loss of his favorite target, Aaron Rodgers has been distributing the ball more in the passing game for the Packers this season. This opened the door for other pass catchers to increase their production, but so far, Robert Tonyan hasn't been one of them.

Tonyan has failed to reach 40 receiving yards in a single game this season and has only eclipsed ten points in Fantasy Football once. Unless he scores a touchdown against the New York Jets, he's unlikely to make much of an an impact.

Hunter Henry - New England Patriots vs. Cleveland Browns

Hunter Henry was a key contributor to the New England Patriots' passing game during the 2021 NFL season, especially in the red zone. He totaled 603 yards while recording an impressive nine touchdowns.

Henry's role with the Patriots has diminished in 2022. He's totaled just 95 yards through five games and failed to score a single touchdown. Not only can he be avoided in Week 6, but he can be safely dropped from most fantasy rosters at this point.

Tyler Conklin - New York Jets vs. Green Bay Packers

Tyler Conklin entered his Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins with a ton of momentum. He has been targeted, at least, five times in each of his first four games with the New York Jets. This came to an end as Zach Wilson targeted Conklin just once last week.

While Conklin remains a solid streaming option in the right situation, the Green Bay Packers present a difficult challenge for him. They have allowed the second-fewest yards to tight ends during the 2022 NFL season so far.
