Patriots tight end Zach Sudfeld comes into the season as a popular sleeper based on his preseason performance and expected role in the offense. But now Fantasy owners want to know if they should start him in Week 1 at the Bills.

Sudfeld has six receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown in three preseason games. With Rob Gronkowski (back) likely out, Sudfeld has the chance to be the primary tight end for this matchup.

We consider Sudfeld a starter this week. New England tight ends combined for nine catches, 152 yards and two scores against Buffalo last season, and the Patriots could feature Sudfeld this week.

He might not be your primary tight end -- at least not now -- but if you have a shaky starting option then consider Sudfeld a great replacement against the Bills.
