Welcome to this week's tight end rankings and projections. Here are some of my thoughts on some notable TEs from this Week 5 list.
O.J. Howard, Houston Texans
The Texans released Pharaoh Brown after last week's game, leading to Howard being on the field for 75% of Houston's snaps. He should start until Brevin Jordan recovers from his ankle issue.
Adam Trautman, New Orleans Saints
New Orleans gave Trautman almost two-thirds of their snaps over the past two weeks due to some injuries at wide receiver. He did flash on a couple of plays, but Juwan Johnson remains a threat for tight end snaps.
