NYG TE Will Tye - Week 5, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Green Bay
Will Tye had four catches for 43 yards on Monday night against the Vikings and was targeted six times. Tye was a quality streaming option at the TE position last season after Larry Donnell went down, and Donnell left Monday night’s game with a concussion. If Donnell misses any time, Tye could once again be a viable fantasy option, particularly in larger leagues or in good matchups.

If Donnell is out this week, Tye has a nice matchup against the Packers, who have given up two touchdowns in three games to opposing TEs and rank 29th in the league in passing yards allowed. He has some risk associated with him, but if Donnell is on the inactive list on Sunday, fantasy owners should look to Tye as a viable streaming option.

NYG TE Will Tye - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Last season, Will Tye emerged as the most consistent tight end on the Giants roster. After taking over for the injured Larry Donnell mid-season, Tye finished the year with 42 catches, 464 yards, and three touchdowns. All of his scores were in the final four weeks of the season, where he amassed 18 catches and 168 yards as well. Tye is young at 24 years old and a solid route-runner, which should allow him to thrive in Ben McAdoo’s West Coast Offense, assuming he can win the starting job over Donnell. Eli Manning has always made use of his tight end, so the potential is there.

Fantasy Downside
Tye has been more consistent, but at 6-foot-2 he lacks the size and athleticism of the 6-foot-6 Donnell. With Donnell coming back from his injury and looking good in camp so far, it’s possible that the two will share time, which could hurt the fantasy value of both players. Additionally, while his numbers were good to close out the season, he wasn’t producing at elite levels which might limit his ceiling.

2016 Bottom Line
Tye is an interesting option who could pan out for fantasy owners this season, but there’s little reason to invest a lot of draft capital in him. He’s available at the very end of most drafts, and we have him ranked outside our top 25 tight ends going into the season, making him more of a TE2 in most league formats. If you’re in a league big enough to warrant a backup TE, then he’s not a bad late-round flyer, but owners are better off grabbing him off the waiver wire later if he becomes the outright starter.

NYG TE Will Tye - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Philadelphia

Will Tye struggled along with the rest of the Giant offense last week, catching only three passes for 28 yards and the Vikings destroyed New York and secured a playoff spot. The Giants really missed the suspended Odell Beckham Jr. and Tye didn’t find as much room to run with nobody in the New York passing game deserving a double team.

This week, Beckham is back but Tye faces a Philadelphia defense that has been surprisingly good against the tight end position. While they’ve been a train wreck against the pass overall, they’ve only allowed five of the 34 touchdown passes against them to come from opposing tight ends (last week’s Jordan Reed explosion not withstanding). Tye has some upside this week as the main guy, but he’s not consistent enough to make him any better than a borderline option at the position in most fantasy leagues.

NYG TE Will Tye - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Minnesota

After five catches, 43 yards, and a touchdown against the Panthers last week, Will Tye has now scored in each of the last two games and he’s starting to separate himself as a goal line target in the Giants passing game. Tye is averaging over six targets per game over the past five games and will be challenging for a starting role going into next season.

This week, Tye faces a Vikings defense that has been above average against the TE position this year, giving up only four of the 21 passing touchdowns they’ve allowed this season to tight ends. Because Odell Beckham Jr. is suspended, expect an uptick in targets from Tye, which may make him usable this week in most leagues as a borderline starter.

NYG TE Will Tye - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Carolina

Will Tye had five catches for 30 yards and his first career touchdown last week against the Dolphins. The rookie from Stony Brook now has at least five receptions in three of his last four games and is the clear starter in New York at the tight end position.

This week, Tye faces a tough Carolina pass defense that has only allowed five touchdowns to the tight end position all season and ranks fifth in the league in passing yards allowed. Tye’s stock is going up, so he’s worth a roster add if you have room, but in most fantasy leagues, his matchup this week keeps him out of starter territory.

NYG TE Will Tye - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Miami

Will Tye had a nice 45 yard reception against the Jets last week, but was only targeted four times on the day and ended up with three catches and 70 yards in another Giants loss. Tye has taken over the job from the injured Larry Donnell, who was placed on injured reserve this week, but he hasn’t put up consistent enough numbers to warrant any serious fantasy consideration. He has a little bit of sleeper potential in deep leagues against a struggling Dolphins pass defense, but there should be better options available to fantasy owners in most leagues, and Tye should remain on waivers.

NYG TE Will Tye - Week 13, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. New York Jets
Will Tye had a decent game against Washington last week, catching six of the eight balls thrown his way for 74 yards. He’s a risky option week to week though, because the Giants haven’t been using anyone in the passing game not named Odell Beckham Jr. with any kind of consistency. Also, the Jets give up the third least amount of fantasy points to the tight end position this year, further limiting Tye’s potential. He should remain on waivers in all league formats.
