Fios question

[p3sty]

So I have gigbit internet now have several smart Tv’s . My thought is to run home runs to each tv for internet. Upstairs I have 4 tv’s can I run cat 6 from each to a switch then the switch to the fios router? So as to only take up one port on my router. Right train of thought?

That'll work fine. Though for a smaller location such as a home, I generally like to have a single point to which all the ethernet runs converge.

This option will work just fine.

Yep, you'll be fine with that. And you may even be able to get away with a 10/100 switch since most tv ports are still 100Mbps. Although having 1g from the router would be useful and you'd only be saving like $5 with a 10/100 switch vs gigabit.
