The Yahoo Fantasy crew has full confidence in these players delivering a memorable performance in your fantasy football lineups for Week 5.
An unheralded TE is here to help
Tight end is a depressing mess this year, but Tucker Kraft has arrived to take a sad song and make it better. He has a glorious breakthrough in Week 4 (nine targets, six catches, touchdown), and don’t overlook the two-point conversion catch, which reflects future goal-line equity.
