Tight End Outlook Week 4
Jimmy Graham‘s (TE16) Week 3 statline of 10 targets, six receptions, 60 yards and two touchdowns all topped his season total over the first two weeks of play. In fact, his 10 targets and 60 receiving yards were more than all Bears tight ends had combined for entering Week 3.
Graham will likely have Nick Foles under center moving forward, which should boost his playability in fantasy. Foles made a living featuring Zach Ertz in the passing game during his Philadelphia days. With that said, Graham has a daunting matchup this week against the surprisingly stout Indianapolis Colts. Opposing tight ends have averaged a meager 3.07 fantasy points against Indy and their top-ranked pass defense.
Speaking of the Colts, tight end Mo Alie-Cox has emerged as a fantasy stud over the past two weeks, averaging the sixth-most points at the position over that span. Interestingly enough, Pro Bowler Jack Doyle return to Indianapolis’ lineup this past Sunday, yet was outsnapped by Alie-Cox and failed to receive a single target. That likely won’t be the case moving forward, but it’s clear that with Parris Campbell out indefinitely, Alie-Cox has become a top-three favorite target of Philip Rivers, that likely won’t change anytime soon.
In week 4, Alie-Cox will face off against a Bears defense who has allowed a receiving touchdown to opposing tight ends in two of the first three weeks of the season.
