James O'Shaughnessy, TE, Jacksonville Jaguars

Price: $4,000

With tight end as ugly as it is this year, it's easy to like the opportunity to pay all the way down at the minimum at the position -- which is actually $500 cheaper than minimum-salary at wide receiver or running back, serving to free up a ton of cap space.

It's not like you're just resigning yourself to taking a goose egg with James O'Shaughnessy either. With Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Niles Paul out, he is the clear-cut top tight end in Jacksonville. He played 75% of the team's offensive snaps in Week 6, which is the most any of their tight ends have played since ASJ played 82% in Week 3.

O'Shaughnessy is also up to 10 targets over the last two games, which includes a look in the red zone.

The Texans have allowed top-12 fantasy production to tight ends this year, and it won't take much for O'Shaughnessy to pay off his price-tag.
