Fantasy Football Week 5 Tight End Projections and Rankings: George Kittle Cruises, Mark Andrews Flounders
Full projections, rankings, start-sit decisions, and more regarding tight ends in Week 5 fantasy football.
Week 5 of fantasy football saw a new tight end leading the pack at the top spot. TJ Hockenson, a tight end, stood out with 13 receptions for 119 yards, outperforming the previous top tight end, Trey McBride. George Kittle, the top-ranked tight end, continued his strong performance and was ranked as the TE1 in standard scoring formats.
However, Kittle's performance was not consistent enough to secure his position as the top tight end in fantasy football. The top-12 tight ends had Kittle ranked third in yards per reception, while McBride ranked 28th. Despite Dalton Kincaid's two down weeks, he was named a must-start due to his high yards per reception rate of 18.8 and 79% catch rate.
Hockenson continued to be a reliable pass-catcher, catching 13 passes with a 100% catch rate in Week 4. As Kyler Murray looked at him the same way he looked at Trey McBride in Arizona, Hockenson was expected to be the No. 1 pass-catcher if Justin Jefferson was out. However, with more volume and normalized target share, high upside plays were expected from Thomas Carelli, Kenyon Sadiq, and Colston Loveland.
