There were some great performances from the tight ends this week. From Mike Gesicki to Robert Tanyon, all fared well in Week 6. Let’s have a look at the top tight ends from the week.

1) Mike Gesicki (Miami Dolphins) 

The Dolphins tight end was splendid on a night when his side suffered a defeat against the high-flying Minnesota Vikings. Gesicki took the scoring pressure on his head, ending the night with two touchdowns in six receptions for 69 yards.

2) Mark Andrews (Baltimore Ravens)

The ever-reliant Andrews was once again instrumental in running the Ravens’ offense which was rather quiet against New York Giants. Giants held the Ravens to just 20 points. Andrews in the game received a passing TD for a total of seven receptions and 106 yards.

3) Travis Kelce (Kansas City Chiefs)

The record-breaking tight end, Kelce, had a rather interesting night in defeat to the Buffalo Bills when he registered a total of 108 yards in eight receptions but couldn’t help the team with a TD.

5) Robert Tanyon (Green Bay Packers) 

Even though Tanyon did not score a TD, he was crucial in catching the ball from QB Aaron Rodgers who had an off-night at offense. The tight end ended his night with 10 receptions for 90 yards.
