- Antonio Gates followed up his 96-yard, three-touchdown day against the Seahawks, with a one-catch, eight-yard game against the Bills. Gates isn't a lock to deliver every week, but he remains a high-end TE1 in a bye week like this. Ladarius Green's usage continues to be infrequent, despite 64 yards in Week 3.
- Regardless of whether Jake Locker suits up this week, Delanie Walker has carved himself out a nice chunk of the Titans offense. The Colts are generous to tight ends and Walker has shown he can take advantage of that.
- Not only is Vernon Davis expected to be back for Sunday's game against the Eagles, he walks right into a potentially high-scoring affair. Follow his practice participation this week, but don't hesitate to start him if he is active.
- Fantasy owners have to take tight end Larry Donnell seriously. He's a big part of the Giants offense so far, receiving 23 targets over the first three weeks. Travis Kelce owners would love to see what their guy could do, if he was as involved In Kansas City's offense, as Donnell is in New York.
- For the very desperate out there, Buccaneers rookie Austin Seferian-Jenkins is set to return from a foot injury this week. He may need time to settle in, but in deeper leagues where the waiver wire has little to offer, ASJ has the potential to be someone who emerges as the season goes on.
