Fantasy Football Rankings and Tiers | Tight Ends – Week 6
As we head into Week 6 of the 2024 fantasy football season, we continue to see the tight end position come back to life. Mark Andrews and Kyle Pitts had their best games of the season. Meanwhile, Tucker Kraft and Isaiah Likely both had multiple touchdowns, and Brock Bowers continues to make a run for the overall TE1. Below, you will find my top 12 fantasy football TE rankings and tiers to get you ready for Week 6 in the NFL. Each week, I’ll separate them into tiers along with my “Start of the Week”.

Week 6 Fantasy Football TE Rankings: Start of the Week
Pat Freiermuth at Las Vegas Raiders
Pat Freiermuth has continued to be a steady contributor for the Pittsburgh Steelers, ranking second on the team in targets and receiving yards and first in receiving touchdowns. This week, he faces a Las Vegas Raiders team that is one of the 10 worst in the league against tight ends when schedule adjusted, according to our free D-PAC metric.
Furthermore, with QB Justin Fields throwing the ball at a higher rate over the past three weeks (averaging 31 attempts per game over that span), I like Freiermuth to be a big part of the game plan in Week 6. All in all, you can start the Steelers tight end with confidence as a mid-range TE1 this week.
