Isaac TeSlaa at Arizona — Deep Sleeper Appeal in a Projected Shootout

TeSlaa continues to solidify his role as an outside receiver in Detroit's offense alongside Jameson Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown. After seeing minimal early-season volume, he has stepped up over the past two games with 7 receptions for 161 yards on 11 targets, including a 95-yard performance in Week 4.

In a matchup carrying plenty of shootout potential against the Cardinals, our projections slate TeSlaa for approximately 2 receptions and 32 yards on roughly 4 targets. While his 7% roster rate reflects his role as an auxiliary option behind Detroit's primary playmakers, his downfield efficiency makes him an intriguing upside dart throw.

Tyler Higbee vs. Buffalo — Veteran Tight End Surging in a Projected Shootout

Despite being listed behind Colby Parkinson on the depth chart, Higbee has emerged as a key weapon in the Rams' aerial attack over the past two weeks with teammate Terrance Ferguson sidelined. The veteran tight end has commanded 17 targets over that span, turning them into 13 receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown.

In what profiles as a high-scoring Monday night matchup against the Bills, our projections forecast roughly 3 catches for 31 yards with red-zone upside. Rostered in only 7% of leagues, Higbee has sneaky upside and represents a solid deep-league streaming play if you are searching for tight-end help.
