ANALYSIS: It is time to jump on the fantasy bandwagon of the man with the short but sweet name. If you thought he was a fluke then you must have thought Devonta Freeman, Allen Robinson and Jordan Reed were flashes in the pan, too!
Tye has taken over for the injured Larry Donnell and been a fantasy find since he was inserted into New York’s starting lineup. While Tye has averaged five catches and 55 yards over his past five games, the big news came out of his last two outings. He scored touchdowns in back-to-back contests after not finding the end zone at all up to that point.
Now with star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. suspended for one game due to flying off the handle countless times against the Carolina Panthers this past weekend, Tye could be Eli Manning’s top target this Sunday night. It’s not like inconsistent Rueben Randle or role player Dwayne Harris deserve more passes thrown their way.
Tye will look to tie one on against the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. Minnesota’s defense has been decimated by injuries to several key players, so it is not the same staunch unit it was early in the season. Tye should be the best tight end available on most league’s waiver wires, so pick him up and hope that his six receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown win you your fantasy playoff game.
