Tight End Outlook Week 6
Over Robert Tonyan‘s (TE9) past three games, he’s not only the highest-scoring tight end in fantasy, his 20.1 ppg over that span ranks 13th-most among non-QBs. Obviously, some of Tonyan’s uptick during his most recent outing has to do with Devante Adams being out of the lineup, something that is expected to change against Tampa Bay this week. However, Tonyan has clearly worked his way up the pecking order in Green Bay’s offense. Unfortunately, don’t expect him to surpass Adams, nor running back Aaron Jones, when it comes to target share anytime soon.
However, Tonyan may not need to do so in order to continue his stellar fantasy output. The Buccaneers allowed 12.3 points to Jimmy Graham this past week and have surrendered a touchdown or 80 receiving yards to the position in three of their five games this year.
