Fantasy Football: 5 Must Start Players New York Giants vs Cleveland Browns

Will Tye

Will Tye has taken control of the Giants tight end position. He has lapped Larry Donnell, who is not even active on game days anymore with rookie Jerell Adams backup up Tye. Tye has turned that into some solid production for the Giants and fantasy owners alike.

He has been targeted at least five times in three straight games, turning that into 11 receptions for 98 yards and one touchdown. He has averaged 7.1 fantasy points per game during that time, which is solid for a streaming option. If you are in a bind, such as losing Zach Miller, nervous about Rob Gronkowski’s status, or have a player on bye, Tye makes for a great fill in.

Not only is his production on the upswing as an option Eli Manning likes, but guess who gives up the most points to tight ends in fantasy? That is right; the Browns. The Browns have given up five monster performances to opposing tight ends this season. While Tye probably won’t be the highest scoring tight end given the other options the Giants have on offense, he could sneak into TE1 numbers.
