Week 6 fantasy TE rankings: Best starts at tight end

One huge game can turn a little-known player into a fantasy star. Especially at tight end.

With only six catches for 77 yards through the first three games, the Green Bay Packers' Tucker Kraft broke out against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5 with four receptions for 88 yards and two touchdowns. After also scoring in Week 4, Kraft is now the No. 3 tight end in fantasy points for the season.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 6 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

ON BYE: Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.
