3 Fantasy Football Tight End Streaming Options for Week 5
Ricky Seals-Jones faces a 49ers' defense that has allowed the most touchdowns to tight ends in 2018. Who else is worth a play at tight end this week?
Tyler Kroft Status
rotoWire
Kroft finished the regular season with four receptions for 57 yards over 11 active games.
What it means:
Kroft was brought to San Francisco to provide blocking help as a backup tight end, and he stuck in that role almost exclusively all season. The 30-year-old has never been a fantasy contributor, and that's unlikely to change at this point of his career. Kroft will be an unrestricted free agent in 2023.
rotoWire
Kroft went without a target across 15 snaps on offense in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers.
What it means:
After he was a healthy scratch for the 49ers' Week 12 game against the Saints, Kroft has suited up in the team's last two contests and has returned to the No. 2 role at tight end behind starter George Kittle. Kroft has played a quarter of the snaps on offense in both games, with his snap shares exceeding Charlie Woerner's (five percent in Week 13, 10 percent in Week 14). Meanwhile, Ross Dwelley has dropped to fourth on the depth chart at tight end and has been inactive for both of the past two games.
rotoWire
Kroft (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Chiefs.
What it means:
Kroft hasn't played since Week 2, but he was previously dealing with a knee injury. However, the veteran tight end was able to log full practices this week. Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley will continue to backup George Kittle.
rotoWire
Kroft (knee) was a full participant in the 49ers' practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
Kroft sprained his MCL in Week 2 against Seattle. While he returned to practice in a limited fashion for the first time last Wednesday, the tight end was ultimately sidelined for the fourth consecutive game Sunday against Atlanta. Now, Kroft seems ready to make his full return heading into this Sunday's contest versus the Chiefs. The 29-year-old has caught one of his two targets for nine yards this season, and he'll likely slot in alongside fellow backups Ross Dwelley and Charlie Woerner.
rotoWire
Kroft (knee) is out Sunday against the Falcons, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
Kroft hasn't played since Week 2 with the injury. He'll work to return in Week 6 against the Chiefs.
rotoWire
Kroft (knee) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
What it means:
Kroft is listed as questionable for the first time since suffering an MCL sprain during Week 2. Even if he's deemed available, it's possible the veteran tight end will be limited following a three-game absence.
