Jake Ferguson & the Best Under the Radar Fantasy Football Tight Ends to Start in Week 6

Week 6 looms ahead, presenting fantasy football managers with a myriad of tight end options to evaluate. Brenton Strange of the Jacksonville Jaguars stands out as a high-priority addition, having exploded on the scene over his last two contests. He's compiled an impressive 163 receiving yards on 16 targets with a 32% first-read target share, showcasing Trevor Lawrence's intentional targeting of the rookie.

Strange's 80% route participation and consistent volume make him a reliable streaming option for this week. In contrast, the New England Patriots' Hunter Henry offers a dependable PPR floor with a 24% red-zone target share and a 72% catch rate. However, his limited yardage ceiling and heavy reliance on scoring touchdowns make him a moderate pick.

Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders' Chig Okonkwo has emerged as a deep-league sleeper following Jayden Daniels' return. In Week 5, he posted 4 receptions for 60 yards on just 6 targets, boasting an 8.4 yard depth of target and high YAC potential. Okonkwo's 19% target share in Week 5 and 74% of Daniels' dropbacks highlight his dynamic threat potential down the seam.

Lastly, Atlanta Falcons' Kyle Pitts Sr. remains a tantalizing possibility for fantasy managers. Despite limited efficiency in his last three games, his 82% snap share, 78% route rate, and 14.2% first-read target share suggest that he could finally turn opportunity into production against the Packers. With a high catch rate of 76% and a respectable 8.5 PPR points average over his last two outings, Pitts could be a solid TE1 for Week 6.
