The season is rolling it to Week 4, and I don’t want anyone to sleep on NFL DFS tight ends. Tight ends are sometimes forgotten and left to the last pick in your lineup and that can easily leave you with an outcome of 0-2 points. This could be devastating for your chances of a takedown or simply cashing. Each week I will lay out my favorite options up top and the best value plays on the board as well. Once you’re done reading this article make sure to hop in our expert chat on Discord to stay up to date with lineup discussions.
Let’s dive in to this Week 4 NFL DFS slate and talk some tight ends.
TRAVIS KELCE, KC $8,100 DRAFTKINGS, $8,200 FANDUEL
Enjoy the $100 discount for Kelce this week on DraftKings and the $300 FanDuel provided lol. I guess the algorithms needed to slide him down $100-$300 after his 3rd consecutive 20 point game. Get used to seeing Kelce in this top spot each and every week and there is simply no reason to fade him in cash. I honestly can’t remember the last time Kelce had a game under 20 points. The Eagle passing defense is terrible and the Chiefs will feast on them. Regardless of all that, Kelce is truly matchup proof and when you take into account a 54.5 point total which Vegas has set for the line we should expect another 100 yard 20 point performance in Week 4. Lock him in up in cash and be confident that you can find discounts in tournaments to free up some cash to slide in the best tight end in the game.
LOGAN THOMAS, WSH $4,900 DRAFTKINGS, $5,800 FANDUEL
Logan has been quiet out of the gate to start the first 3 weeks of the season, but the sample size is too small to start worrying. He has averaged 11.6 DraftKings points per game and now draws a cupcake matchup versus the Falcons that we need to take a look at. Lets not forget what the Eagles did to this Falcons secondary in week 1. Yes all my Philly fans out there, the Falcons even made Jalen and the Eagles look good. Goedert dropped 14.2 DraftKings points and Ertz sprinkled in 5.4. I’m not saying Thomas will lock in 20 but he does have a 20 point ceiling game in him this week at a very low ownership. The price and ownership is right on Thomas so feel confident playing him in both cash and tournaments.
NOAH FANT, DEN $4,300 DRAFTKINGS, $5,700 FANDUEL
Noah Fant had a down game in week 3 and we all received a discount simply because the Jets could not score 1 point. The Jets are bad, I mean really really bad, and this game was over before it started. This changes in week 4 against a Ravens team who has a bad defense and a explosive offense that can put up points. Teddy and the Broncos will have to throw the ball to keep pace and he now has once less weapon to throw to with Hamler going down. Fant is going to compete with Sutton to be the most targeted member of this offense moving forward and that will allow Fant to smash his value in week 4. A 10+ point performance is lock and I can easily see Fant sliding into the 20 point range. With the tight ends I reference in this low range, I believe them to be flex viable over reaching for a receiver/running back in some builds. This will also allow you to come off of some of the chalk at the skilled positions as well.
TYLER HIGBEE, LAR $4,600 DRAFTKINGS, $4,600 FANDUEL
Higbee is building rapport with Stafford and this offense in general is firing on all cylinders. The price is too cheap on Higbee in a matchup versus the Cardinals in what could be the fastest paced game of the slate. The over is set to 54.5 and I think this game stays close for four quarters of fantasy goodness. Stafford has thrown for 942 through 3 games and I don’t see that stopping in a matchup versus the Cardinals. Higbee should be a beneficiary of the passing attack and the shootout potential of this game. Combine that with the fact he is priced criminally too cheap and you have yourself a solid play for week 4.
DALTON SCHULTZ, DAL $3,400 DRAFTKINGS $5,000 FANDUEL
This play is for tournaments only but I loved what I saw out of Dalton versus the Eagles. With Gallup out it looks like Schultz is taking more and more of a active role in this passing game for Dallas. He has averaged 13.4 points per game through 3 games this year and I’m loving this price tag for tournaments. Like I said above rather than reaching for a $3,000 receiver, a guy like Schultz could provide a better floor in a great offense than other “chalk” plays in tournaments.
