The fantasy football schedule is now into Week 4 and at the TE position there are some names on the free agent market that could be sleepers moving forward, as Delanie Walker, Dwayne Allen, Larry Donnell, Jared Cook, Martellus Bennett and Heath Miller could be some of the best pickups at tight end and this comes ahead of the start of Week 4 on Thursday, which will have Donnell and Niles Paul playing for the Giants and Redskins.
The TE position can be a major value spot for fantasy owners with the right guy there and this season there are a number of names to keep an eye on moving forward. Donnell plays on Thursday night along with Niles Paul and those two have been some of the best fantasy surprises this season. Donnell looks to be the top option for Eli Manning past Victor Cruz, while Paul has stepped in for an injured Jordan Reed and has looked just as good as the starter. Don't be surprised if Paul gets starter snaps even when Reed returns from his hamstring injury.
Bennett had a strong game in Week 3 and he could be a consistent option with the Bears moving forward with Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery a bit banged up. Jared Cook dropped a TD pass last week, but he is one of the top options with the Rams among their receivers and even with the QB issues, he could be a solid starter. Allen has been a target for Andrew Luck and should continue being a solid tight end, while Delanie Walker has emerged as one of the only consistent offensive options for the Titans.
Allen had over 40 yards last week and while he has not had a huge game yet in three matchups, he had a great TD against the Broncos earlier in the season and he will have plenty more chances to put up numbers. Andrew Luck has been as good as anyone to start the season and that means Allen should be a solid starter for fantasy owners as long as he remains healthy.
Travis Kelce is a sleeper option moving forward for the Chiefs and he comes in after scoring his first career touchdown last weekend. Kelce already has put together 10 catches for 166 yards and a touchdown this season and in Week 2 he had a very solid game with four catches for 81 yards and he had six targets in that matchup. Vernon Davis is dealing with an injury and that means fantasy owners should look to some of these names until is healthy enough to come back.
Walker is dealing with a shoulder injury, but right now it doesn't appear to be serious and that means he is a solid starting option for Week 4. Heading into week 3 he had 13 catches for 179 yards and two touchdowns and 18 targets and he continued playing well with four catches and 54 receiving yards to lead the team against the Bengals. Walker has been very solid this season and he has 17 catches, 233 yards and two touchdowns through three games.
