Jason Witten at New York Giants: The Cowboys have always utilized Witten the most against the New York Giants. Earlier this year Witten had his highest point total against the boys in blue and that is no surprise. The Giants have given up the fifth most points to tight ends however with a new quarterback under center Witten could see some added targets. Witten is almost a lock to have at least 1 touchdown in this game.

Julius Thomas vs Buffalo Bills: Buffalo has already given up the 8th most points to tight ends in fantasy football this season, if you combine that with the fact that Thomas should see upwards of 13 targets then you could be talking about one monstrous fantasy day. Thomas is still as good as he was on the Broncos and will continue to be the number 1 aerial target in this offense.

Charles Clay at Jacksonville Jaguars: There is literally no one else to throw too. Harvin and Watkins are out and Clay is the next best option. He is seeing a similar amount of targets to Julius Thomas while the Bills top wide receivers are out, this should make for plenty of chances to get into the end zone.

Coby Fleener vs New Orleans Saints: Fleener is facing a porous Saints defense that should have trouble stopping anything through the air. Fleener was the primary target in week 4 however he has struggled since then. The Saints currently give up the 4th most points to fantasy tight ends this season and this should make for a pretty productive afternoon for Fleener.
