Delanie Walker at New Orleans Saints: Walker is the most productive receiver on the Titans roster this season and the Saints have given up the 6th most fantasy points to tight ends all season long. Walker can see anywhere from 5-10 targets a game so he will have plenty of chances to make some plays.

Heath Miller VS Oakland Raiders: This one is kind of obvious; Miller is going up against a defense that has given up the most fantasy points to tight ends all season long. Miller should see an increase in targets since Le'Veon Bell's injury, Big Ben needs a new safety net and that will likely be Miller. Brown will see double coverage so he is primarily a deep threat option. Miller is a great option this week.

Julius Thomas at New York Jets: For the Thomas he has a bad matchup against Darrelle Revis and this Jets secondary however the Jets could be susceptible to the Jaguars passing attack. With Revis shadowing Allen Robinson, Cromartie on Hurns and Calvin Pryor out with an injury the Jets have no one to cover the playmaking tight end. Thomas will likely be covered by some of the Jets linebackers which should provide give him a solid edge in most matchups. Thomas will likely be the biggest factor if the Jaguars want to upset the Jets.

Jacob Tamme at San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers have been tough on opposing tight ends however the Falcons have so many weapons Tamme might be the last person they think to cover. With Julio Jones being double covered and Devonta Freeman remaining a threat out of the backfield Tamme could hold some important mismatches for this Falcons offense. It also helps that Tamme has been on fire as of late especially with defenses having their hands full with Jones and Freeman. Tamme could make a big impact in this game.
