Charles Clay (Buffalo Bills) VS Tennessee Titans: The Titans have given up the 6th most fantasy points to tight ends this season and should be a perfect matchup for one of the great waiver wire adds of the month, Charles Clay. Clay has proven to be a playmaker in Buffalo and I am sure he will be able to find some space in the end zone this week. He had 13 targets in week 4 and has had 2 touchdowns on the year.

Jason Witten (Dallas Cowboys) VS New England Patriots: Witten is facing a middle of the pack Patriots defense against the tight end. But Witten is a matchup proof start at the position; he is guaranteed to get targets. Especially with this Dallas offense as depleted as it is, Witten is the main star. The Patriots will try to game plan for Witten but he should have a big say in how this offense performs in week 5.

Antonio Gates (San Diego Chargers) VS Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers have given up the fourth most fantasy points to tight ends which makes Gates arrival the perfect time for a return into fantasy lineups. Ladarius Green has been the primary starter however he suffered two concussions in his time replacing the suspended Gates. Green found the end zone, and has been productive every time he has been on the field however Gate's seniority should take precedent over Green's production. You could actually start both of them if Malcom Floyd and Stevie Johnson are still injured, that assures fantasy fanatics that the Chargers will run some two tight end sets offensively.

Owen Daniels (Denver Broncos) at Oakland Raiders: Daniels has been producing pretty well for the last two weeks and has become a favorite target amongst heavily blitzing defenses. The Lions and Vikings changed the flow of the Broncos offensive game plan. If Aldon Smith and the Raiders defense could put pressure on Manning Daniels could be in for another big day.
