Welcome to the Week 12 Tight End Rankings.
I’ve eyes these out and searched for injury info but it’s still early in the week save for the guys going tomorrow. These will tightened up on Saturday.
For tomorrow’s slate, I am looking at either finding a way to roster Jordan Reed or just punting the position with a 2500 unit option. It’s a tough call, because I like Reed’s matchup and I like him with Colt McCoy, who has a lot of guts and is willing to trust his best weapon. If I punt, one option is definitely Reed’s teammate Vernon Davis. Fun stuff, eh?
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
There rankings will be updated on Saturday.
I’ll be back in a bit with the WRs and TEs.
Bye teams: Chiefs & Rams.

Rank | Name | Team | Cost | Matchup | The Skinny |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Zach Ertz | PHI | 6.400 | NYG@PHI 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | He’ll bounce back strong. |
2 | George Kittle | SF | 6.200 | SF@TB 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | Great matchup. He’s right there with Ertz this week. |
3 | Greg Olsen | CAR | 4.400 | SEA@CAR 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | Playing good ball and scoring some touchdowns. |
4 | Rob Gronkowski | NE | 5.100 | NE@NYJ 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | I expect him to come out of this funk, but it’s tied to health, so he’s just a TE1 until we see the real Gronk. The Jets are a tough matchup for tight ends with Jamal Adams at safety. |
5 | Jack Doyle | IND | 4.100 | MIA@IND 11/25/2018 04:25PM ET | He played twice as much as Ebron last week. He;s the main guy. Ebron is a TD-dependent big slot. |
6 | David Njoku | CLE | 3.800 | CLE@CIN 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | Should be a big healthier coming off the bye. |
7 | Evan Engram | NYG | 4.200 | NYG@PHI 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | I smell a big game. |
8 | Jared Cook | OAK | 4.500 | OAK@BAL 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | |
9 | Vance McDonald | PIT | 4.300 | PIT@DEN 11/25/2018 04:25PM ET | |
10 | Cameron Brate | TB | 3.600 | SF@TB 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | He’s now the guy with OJH done for 2018. |
11 | Eric Ebron | IND | 4.000 | MIA@IND 11/25/2018 04:25PM ET | Playable but risky if the TDs don’t find their way. |
12 | Jeff Heuerman | DEN | 3.400 | PIT@DEN 11/25/2018 04:25PM ET | |
13 | Kyle Rudolph | MIN | 3.200 | GB@MIN 11/25/2018 08:20PM ET | |
14 | Chris Herndon | NYJ | 2.900 | NE@NYJ 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | |
15 | Jonnu Smith | TEN | 2.800 | TEN@HOU 11/26/2018 08:15PM ET | |
16 | Jimmy Graham | GB | 2.500 | GB@MIN 11/25/2018 08:20PM ET | I’m acting as if he won’t play but will upgrade him to TE2 status if he’s practicing Friday. **UPDATE*** He’s practicing so he’ll probably play but color me skeptical as to how effective he’ll be. |
17 | Nick Vannett | SEA | 2.700 | SEA@CAR 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | |
18 | C.J. Uzomah | CIN | 3.300 | CLE@CIN 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | |

30 | Hayden Hurst | BAL | 2.500 | OAK@BAL 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | Jackson at QB makes him less valuable. |
31 | Logan Thomas | BUF | 2.500 | JAX@BUF 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | |

42 | Jacob Hollister | NE | 2.500 | NE@NYJ 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | |
43 | Dallas Goedert | PHI | 2.500 | NYG@PHI 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | |
44 | Garrett Celek | SF | 2.500 | SF@TB 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | |
45 | O.J. Howard | TB | 4.900 | SF@TB 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | He’s on IR. Brate is now the starter. |
46 | Charles Clay | BUF | 2.500 | JAX@BUF 11/25/2018 01:00PM ET | Probably out again (knee) |
47 | Jordan Reed | WAS | 4.700 | WAS@DAL 11/22/2018 04:30PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) On a week with no Kelce and a less than 100% Gronk, Reed stand out. Not just because he scored last week, but because I think Colt McCoy is a better for for him than Alex Smith, God rest his lower leg. Seriously, I hope he’s ok. I want to find ways to get him into my T-Giving lineups, but not sure how easy it’s going to be with all the Saints and Falcons I want to roster. |
48 | Trey Burton | CHI | 4.000 | CHI@DET 11/22/2018 12:30PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) He’s a solid TE option in seasonal but 4K is expensive for what he brings on the Turkey slate. Might have a share or two. |
49 | Austin Hooper | ATL | 4.200 | ATL@NO 11/22/2018 08:20PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) The Sainst are among the worst matchups for tight ends. Ertz last week being exhibit A. |
50 | Benjamin Watson | NO | 3.200 | ATL@NO 11/22/2018 08:20PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) |
51 | Luke Willson | DET | 2.500 | CHI@DET 11/22/2018 12:30PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) |
52 | Dalton Schultz | DAL | 2.500 | WAS@DAL 11/22/2018 04:30PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) |
53 | Blake Jarwin | DAL | 2.500 | WAS@DAL 11/22/2018 04:30PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) |
54 | Rico Gathers | DAL | 2.500 | WAS@DAL 11/22/2018 04:30PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) |
55 | Levine Toilolo | DET | 2.500 | CHI@DET 11/22/2018 12:30PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) |
56 | Josh Hill | NO | 2.500 | ATL@NO 11/22/2018 08:20PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) |
57 | Vernon Davis | WAS | 2.500 | WAS@DAL 11/22/2018 04:30PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) |
58 | Geoff Swaim | DAL | 2.700 | WAS@DAL 11/22/2018 04:30PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) OUT |
59 | Adam Shaheen | CHI | 2.500 | CHI@DET 11/22/2018 12:30PM ET | (ALREADY PLAYED) OUT (concussion) |
60 | Michael Roberts | DET | 2.500 | CHI@DET 11/22/2018 12:30PM ET | Still questionable with a shoulder injury. He’s in play as a punt option tomorrow if he can play. |
