Tight Ends

Start: Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions (vs. Atlanta): Many fantasy managers stick to the rule of staying away from rookie tight ends, but the more you watch this guy, the more impressed you should be. LaPorta looks like a seasoned pro and in an offense that is designed to create big plays in a hurry, he is going to have a massive game at some point. It could easily be right here.

Sit: Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints (at Green Bay): Johnson was a guy who many saw as a sleeper entering this season. But through two games, he has just five receptions. I don't like him at all this week against the Pack.

Sleeper Alert: Hayden Hurst, Carolina Panthers (at Seattle): It looks like Andy Dalton is going to draw the start for the Panthers this week in place of an injured Bryce Young. He could easily hone in on trusted veteran targets and Hurst would be that.

Bust Alert: Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons (at Detroit): If you're a Pitts owner, you probably still start him every week hoping for him to finally break out of the funk that he's been in for some time. But, you have to expect him to make this list more often than not.
