Arizona Cardinals TE Troy Niklas is practicing with the first-team offense Tuesday, Aug. 16.

Fantasy Tip: Niklas isn't an automatic starter ahead of guys like Jermaine Gresham and Darren Fells, but it bodes well that he's being given some time with the starters. Even so, Arizona's tight end situation is somewhat of a crapshoot currently. They can all be avoided.

Arizona Cardinals TE Troy Niklas "continues to press (Jermaine Gresham and Darren Fells) for the starting job", according to head coach Bruce Arians.

Fantasy Tip: Niklas blocked well and hauled in two passes for 44 yards in the preseason opener, and he probably would have scored a touchdown as well if not for an errant pass from Drew Stanton. The tight end does not usually play an important part in the passing attack in Arians' offense, so owners can move along.

Arizona Cardinals TE Troy Niklas, who had two catches for 12 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, has been seeing more playing time with TE Darren Fells (shoulder) injured. However, most of Niklas' time on the field has been used as a blocker.

Fantasy Tip: Niklas could become more of a red zone weapon if Fells misses more time, but it's unlikely that he'll be used as anything more than a blocker for most of the time as the season progresses. Ignore Niklas for now.

Arizona Cardinals TE Troy Niklas had two catches for 12 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-20 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 8.

Fantasy Tip: Niklas ($1,700, 3.4% of cap) entered the game with one catch for 13 yards, so unless he continues to earn looks in the red zone, consider this performance a fluke.
