Week 5 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Sit 'Em
Tight ends to avoid in Week 5 Fantasy Football.
Pat Freiermuth - Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Buffalo Bills
Pat Freiermuth has been relatively solid during the 2022 fantasy football season. He has recorded 18 receptions for 223 yards in four games, showing similar chemistry this year with Mitchell Trubisky as he did last year with Ben Roethlisberger as his quarterback.
Freiermuth will now move on to his third quarterback after the Pittsburgh Steelers named rookie Kenny Pickett their starter. Freiermuth is best avoided in Week 5 with the rookie starting his first game ever, especially against the Buffalo Bills' top-ranked passing defense.
David Njoku - Cleveland Browns vs. Los Angeles Chargers
David Njoku qualifies as a boom-or-bust tight end during the 2022 fantasy football season so far. In his first two games, he recorded just four receptions for 39 yards. He improved in his next two games, combining for 14 receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown.
Njoku's inconsistencies so far this year have made it important to pay attention to his specific matchups. Week 5 looks unfavorable for him in fantasy football when the Cleveland Browns face off against the Los Angeles Chargers. He may often be covered by Derwin James, one of the best safeties in the NFL.
Robert Tonyan - Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants
Robert Tonyan is one of many inconsistent fantasy football contributors for quarterback Aaron Rodgers within the Green Bay Packers' passing game. Tonyan has exceeded five targets just once in the first four games of the 2022 NFL season, while never reaching 40 yards in a single game.
The Packers have elected to use more of a run-heavy offensive scheme for much of the 2022 season so far. Week 5 should feature a similar game plan against the New York Giants defense that ranks eighth-best against the past but fifth-worst against the run.
