Tight end has turned into one of the biggest swing spots in fantasy football, and this week is no different. Between emerging young players, volatile usage, and a few fading veterans, the position is loaded with landmines and upside darts.
If you’re still alive in your league, how you handle tight end could be the difference between advancing and going home. Let’s dig into the matchups and roles that actually matter for NFL and fantasy football lineups this week.
AJ Barner | SEA (vs IND)
AJ Barner (knee/shoulder) wasn’t on the final injury report last week, and he was used as usual, running 22 of 31 Seattle routes at the position and earning four of their five targets.
The role is fine, but we are running into volume issues left and right for players not named Jaxon Smith-Njigba in this offense. Barner hasn’t cleared 35 receiving yards in six of his past seven games, and without a ton of room for volume growth, this isn’t a profile I’m all that interested in.
The Seahawks are a double-digit favorite in this spot, and that suggests that this could be a rushing-heavy script down the stretch: I’m not confident that a second pass catcher in this offense provides value this week, and even less sure that Barner is that guy.
Brenton Strange | JAX (vs NYJ)
This Jags run is a fun one, and with it has come a new tight end that we can count on.
There’s risk involved, but that’s the case with all but a few TEs in 2025. Brenton Strange has hauled in 31 of 39 targets this season, is averaging nearly 12 yards per catch, and is viewed as an important piece on a motivated offense.
If you’re asking for more, you’re getting greedy.
The 5.7 PPR points last week weren’t ideal, but in a game where Jakobi Meyers earns nearly one-third of the targets, and Brian Thomas makes a few splash plays, a six-target showing should be viewed as a net win, even if the production wasn’t up to your standards.
We just saw the Jets get beaten into the turf by the Dolphins last week, and if the Jags have similar success, you’re looking at 8-12 PPR points as a very likely outcome, a result that would land him safely inside the top 10 at the position.
Brock Bowers | LV (at PHI)
I look forward to the offseason research piece on whether the fear of a bad offense outweighs the talent of a play more often than not. I have Brock Bowers in a league, and it seems like every Sunday, I’ll turn my attention to the Raiders game, see two stuffed runs and a sack, and ask myself why I thought spending up on a player attached to this nonsense was a bulletproof plan.
By the end of the day, however, Bowers typically hits his quota of one highlight play, and it usually has some nice fantasy value attached to it.
Michael Mayer (ankle) was inactive last week against the Broncos, though he could return. Bowers capped Vegas’ masterpiece of a first drive on Sunday with a 15-yard score, but he managed just 31 yards the rest of the game with the Geno Smith/Kenny Pickett duo unable to find consistent chunk plays, as per usual.
Bowers is great, and I think there’s a world in which Ashton Jeanty is too: this offseason is going to be critical in terms of roster construction when it comes to their respective 2026 ADPs. As for this week, you just keep plowing through.
You don’t have to watch the game to get credit for the fantasy points, so I’d suggest something more fun for your Sunday afternoon.
It’s a long list of things that are more fun than watching the 2025 Raiders play football.
Chig Okonkwo | TEN (at SF)
An athletic 26-year-old tight end with a 77.4% catch rate this season from a rookie quarterback is interesting when looking long-term, but Chig Okonkwo isn’t close to viable right now and shouldn’t be counted on to breakout over this next month just because you’d like him to.
His next end zone target will be his first, and he only has one red zone touch all season. His 25.1 routes per game make for a nice note, but until Cam Ward turns them into something, we can’t assume that fantasy numbers are going to pop up out of thin air.
Cole Kmet | CHI (vs CLE)
If you watched the Chicago loss in Green Bay last week, you may have caught a glimpse of the Cole Kmet snag on a Caleb Williams scramble.
It was a work of art.
It was also one-third of the targets he saw for the entire game, despite running one more route than Colston Loveland.
It’s been an awfully slow burn in Ben Johnson handing the keys to the TE position to the rookie, and we aren’t there yet in terms of snap rate, but we are there for fantasy purposes. Kment has just one game this season with more than three receptions, and I’d bet that number staying at one the rest of the way.
He’s a decent play in a good offense and with the right role, but not when he’s the secondary option at his own position on a team that would prefer to run the ball.
Colston Loveland | CHI (vs CLE)
There have been a few instances this season when the Colston Loveland skill set has been on display for all to see. We love those spots because they confirm our preseason takes, but how about the one-yard touchdown against the Packers last week?
In their most important game of the season to date, Ben Johnson schemes up a play-action set where he asks his rookie tight end to navigate all of the traffic around the line of scrimmage, run across the field in the direction of the rolling out QB, and have the wherewithal to make the catch and finish the play.
Mission accomplished and, more importantly, trust gained from the playcaller.
Loveland was again outsnapped by Cole Kmet, but he ran two more routes and saw the position’s only two targets in third-down spots over the weekend, again speaking to the trust that Johnson has in his developing weapon.
The Browns coughed up 12.5 PPR points to Noah Fant in the season opener, but only once has a TE cleared 11.5. I don’t expect Loveland to break this slate in a tough matchup, especially with Kmet still involved at an annoyingly high level, but he does sneak into my top 12 at the position, ahead of more “floor” plays like Hunter Henry (vs. BUF) and Juwan Johnson (vs. CAR).
Dallas Goedert | PHI (vs LV)
Dallas Goedert was featured on Monday night in a major way, recording 38.1% of their receptions in the loss and giving his fantasy managers 15.8 points after totaling just 13.1 in his previous three combined.
Are we buying it?
Generally, no.
Jalen Hurts has failed to complete more than 21 passes in six of his past seven games, and with two talented WRs by his side, this type of volume can be as fleeting as it is encouraging.
It’s clear at this point that the Birds would prefer not to throw in volume, and they may not be asked to against the Raiders. He has three or fewer catches in seven games this season, and that creates a concerningly low floor.
He comes in just ahead of the streamer tier for me this week because of the implied point total for Philly, but I’m not overly confident. I wouldn’t view him as a solution at the position: play him this week and circle back next week to see where he falls in the hierarchy.
Dalton Kincaid | BUF (at NE)
I was a little hesitant last week with how reports around Dalton Kincaid were being phrased.
He had missed three straight games with the hamstring injury, and the wording was “plans to try to play” and similar for a snow game against the Bengals.
Buffalo TE Snap Data, Week 14
- Kincaid: 18 routes, 5 targets, 33.3% snap share
- Dawson Knox: 14 routes, 7 targets, 46.7% snap share
At some level, we did see him capped, but I thought he looked great and can be counted on this week.
Dawson Knox actually handled Josh Allen’s first pass last week (32-yard gain) and went on to lead the team across the board with six catches on seven targets for 93 yards. Some may view it as competition for Kincaid, but I’m choosing to see it as a position being prioritized at a high rate.
Knox hasn’t been much of a factor this season when Kincaid has been healthy, and I don’t think we are going to see TE-TE-RB as Buffalo’s three leading receivers in “normal” weather conditions. The fact that Allen was willing to take what was given to him like that, however, provides me with confidence that Kincaid, barring any sort of setback in practice, can be rolled out as a viable TE1 in all formats this weekend.
His touchdown last week came on an option route where both he and Allen saw the same thing. Communication like that and the lack of consistency at the WR position should make you feel good about where things stand for Kincaid.
Dalton Schultz | HOU (vs ARI)
Dalton Schultz has tumbled outside of my top 15 this week after posting his second sub-five target effort in a three-game run (three games prior: 28 targets earned).
The win last week in Arrowhead was huge. But it wasn’t exactly based on a high-flying passing game, so with Jayden Higgins developing and Christian Kirk remaining involved, I’m not too interested in a player who is at risk of being the fourth look on what could be a low dropback afternoon for C.J. Stroud.
Schultz has seen just a single end zone target over his past 10 contests, so if you’re hoping for a bailout in that regard, just know that it’s an awfully thin bet.
David Njoku | CLE (at CHI)
David Njoku got into the end zone on Sunday in the loss to the Titans, his fourth score of the game, but his troublesome knee was banged up on the play and left him on the sideline for the remainder of the game.
Healthy or not, there’s no reason to be interested in Njoku at this point.
The Browns’ passing game looked better last week, and they are pretty clearly interested in pulling levers that will impact their long-term outlook. In that vein, Harold Fannin not only had the big game (8-114-1), but he doubled up Njoku in first quarter snaps.
The rookie has been picking up steam for over a month now, and I fully expect that to be the case for the remainder of the season. If you have Fannin, you have the lone asset in this passing game that you can trust; if you have Njoku, you’re burning a roster spot.
Dawson Knox | BUF (at NE)
If you want to avoid a landmine, step away from that Dawson Know waiver claim.
Do it slowly.
The backup tight end led the Bills in catches (six), targets (seven), and receiving yards (93), none of his teammates had more than 41, in the exciting win over the Bengals on Sunday, and that is sure to have the attention of TE streamers entering the playoffs.
Relax.
Dalton Kincaid was fresh off three DNPs (hamstring) in a snow game, and yet, Knox still was asked to run a route on only half of his snaps (Kincaid: 90.5%). This offense essentially avoided the WR position on Sunday (Knox, Kincaid, and James Cook were their top three in receiving yardage), and Knox took advantage.
Good for Week 14, but not predictive. In the three games Kincaid missed, Knox caught a total of seven balls for 68 yards with no touchdowns. That’s the type of per-game production you’re more likely to see for the rest of 2025 than a repeat of last weekend’s aberration.
Evan Engram | DEN (vs GB)
The broadcast suggested that the Raiders viewed stopping Evan Engram as a priority, and while I think that’s an interesting approach, they did it.
And lost.
I disagree with the approach in large part because the Broncos have been pretty good at stopping him (one game with 50+ yards and no more than 2 receptions in 3 of his past 5). Engram has one score this season, and all of the “Sean Payton wants a Joker in his offense” talk can go to bed at this point.
This could be a knock-out, drag-out type of game in Denver, a fun watch, but not one that has me overextending for tight ends with limited usage. Last week, Courtland Sutton earned 10 targets and RJ Harvey six, while nine others saw 1-4 looks. That’s the chaotic signature of Payton and has me dumping any Engram shares in favor of the best option on the wire (I’d go as low as Theo Johnson or Darren Waller).
George Kittle | SF (vs TEN)
George Kittle was shut out in his first game back from injury in Week 7 against the Falcons, a game in which the 49ers massively prioritized Christian McCaffrey. Still, he’s caught 4+ passes in every game since and has seen a target share north of 21% in four consecutive games (over that stretch: 18.2 PPR PPG).
By nature of how this offense functions, Kittle doesn’t have Trey McBride-like upside, but when it comes to the second tier at the position, he’s as good an option as there is.
A dud performance is certainly possible if San Francisco controls this game from start to finish, but I’d rather worry about that than talent or role. You’re starting Kittle with confidence this weekend, and his fantasy value could spike over the final two weeks with the Colts and Bears up next.
Harold Fannin Jr. | CLE (at CHI)
Shedeur Sanders’ first pass of Week 14 went to Harold Fannin for a 17-yard gain, and it served as foreshadowing as this offense had its best output of the Sanders era, giving this fanbase reason for optimism, even in a loss to the lowly Titans.
Tight ends with an 8-100-1 stat line this season
- Trey McBride (Weeks 10 and 11)
- Brock Bowers (Week 9)
- Dallas Goedert (Week 6)
- Fannin (Sunday)
The rookie has now cleared 7.5 PPR points in eight of his past nine, and with David Njoku battling a knee injury, he might get even more run over the final few weeks. His target floor since Week 6 is five looks, and with a 24+ yard catch in four of his past five, the big-play upside for this 6’4” athlete is strong.
I’ve got Fannin penciled in as by TE7 this week, ahead of Jake Ferguson, Dalton Kincaid, and Travis Kelce.
Hunter Henry | NE (vs BUF)
Hunter Henry has parlayed consecutive games with multiple red zone touches (one such game through the first 11 weeks this season) with 35.8 PPR points over his past two games and seems to be carving out a niche in this offense that MVP favorite Drake Maye heads.
The ceiling isn’t elite, but with a target share north of 18% in three straight, this role is trending in the right direction at the right time. The floor is worth your time with Henry averaging his most yards per route since 2017, and given the shootout potential of this game, your scoring equity is a touch higher than usual.
I suspect this will be the highest I have Henry ranked for the remainder of the season (at Ravens and at Jets over the next two weeks), so make sure to get him back into your lineup after the annoying late bye.
Isaiah Likely | BAL (at CIN)
That’s consecutive weeks where managers with Isaiah Likely thought that a big play touchdown, only to see it get wiped off the board. On Thanksgiving night against the Bengals, it was the dramatic fumble at the goal line, and on Sunday, it was an end zone catch that looked like a catch until it was knocked out after he came to the ground.
Don’t get me started on the rules, but we didn’t get any points for it, that much I know.
He did manage to score his first touchdown of the season in the third quarter against the Steelers, but this is feeling familiar: Likely shows enough promise to suck me back in for another season.
We will see if I can quit him in 2026. For Week 15, he’s a streaming option that carries a wide range of outcomes. His 22 routes over the weekend netted six targets and four touches, a far greater rate of involvement than Mark Andrews (36 routes: five targets and one touch), but counting on anything from this passing game is a tough sell right now.
I have Likely ranked behind the Juwan Johnson/Theo Johnson tier at the position: you probably don’t need to take this big of a risk.
Ja’Tavion Sanders | CAR (at NO)
It seems like a random number generator when it comes to who is producing in Carolina these days.
Tetairoa McMillan is a safe bet for looks, but the quality of those looks can be spotty, and that’s given Xavier Legette and, most recently, Jalen Coker chances to produce surprise stat lines.
In theory, that gives a player like Ja’Tavion Sanders a window into producing, but that simply hasn’t been the case (under 35 receiving yards in eight straight and zero touchdowns this season). It could happen in a spot like this, but betting on it carries far more risk than reward.
Jake Ferguson | DAL (vs MIN)
The Jake Ferguson gravy train halted a while ago, and it might be time to jump off completely.
OK, that’s a bit dramatic, but if he played a deeper position, I certainly wouldn’t be chasing the early-season production. His target share has declined in back-to-back weeks and hasn’t eclipsed 20% since Week 7 — a troubling trend for a player currently stuck on the wrong side of touchdown variance.
He has just one score over his past six games after reaching the end zone six times in a four-game stretch, proving regression rarely unfolds neatly. Add in his limited per-catch production — 10.7 yards in 2023, 8.4 last season, and just 7.4 through 13 games this year — and the concerns become even more pronounced.
Ferguson hasn’t cleared 60 receiving yards in a game since Week 3, so if he’s going to continue to be the fourth banana in scoring situations (CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Javonte Williams), there really isn’t a ceiling to chase.
Think about it. Unless you’re an avid banana consumer, go to the store and buy four bananas that are all aged the same. By the time one is ready to eat, the other three are hours away from dying. Maybe you can salvage one in a protein shake. The other might be iffy, but toss it in oatmeal, and you probably don’t notice.
But can you save all four? Probably not. That’s Ferguson in terms of scoring equity.
The volume and efficiency (83.3% catch rate this season) keep him inside my top 12 across the board and top 10 in PPR settings, but the odds of his rediscovering his near elite form from early October are low if not zero.
Juwan Johnson | NO (vs CAR)
Juwan Johnson has at least four grabs in four straight games and in six of his past seven. That may not sound like much, but at the tight end position, it’ll work. In fact, there are only five TEs that have an active streak at least that long, and the other four are all lineup locks: Trey McBride, George Kittle, Jake Ferguson, and Brock Bowers.
Johnson clearly isn’t on that level, and he saw what little scoring equity he brings to the table dry up last week due to a pair of gutty touchdown runs from Tyler Shough, but his path to 8-10 PPR points this week and moving forward is pretty clear.
Here’s a great example of a player that can win you your week without winning you your week.
You’re not going to look back on Week 14 and remember Johnson’s 7.8 PPR points with fondness, but there’s a chance that won you the TE position in your matchup, and those sorts of edges matter. Every edge matters this time of year.
You’re not at a high risk of taking a donut at the position, and that counts for something, even if it’s not flashy production that directly carries you to a victory.
Luke Musgrave | GB (at DEN)
Live, it looked like Luka Musgrave made one of the best TE catches of the week against the Bears, but his sprawling attempt was deemed incomplete after replay, and that was the end of the excitement for those rostering him.
For a fifth straight game, he failed to reach 25 receiving yards, and things are only trending away from him with Jayden Reed healthy and Christian Watson ascending.
There’s no point in chasing TE production from an offense that has come to terms with moving the ball without it. Use these struggles from Musgrave as a reminder of just how impactful Tucker Kraft was, and don’t forget about him in drafts this summer.
Mark Andrews | BAL (at CIN)
Simply put, Mark Andrews is a tight end who relies on touchdowns, and he is playing for an offense that is currently struggling to score touchdowns.
He held a 36-22 route edge over Isaiah Likely against the Steelers in Week 14, but he gave us his fourth single-digit effort in terms of receiving yards, his second in a three-game span.
There will be points scored in this game, and the hope is that this Baltimore attack can show some signs of life. If they do, Andrews stands to gain in a big way, and that’s why he’s inside of my top 15 at the position, but it’s nearly impossible to put him much higher due to the lack of form of this passing game as a whole.
Mason Taylor | NYJ (at JAX)
The Jets completed three passes in the first half last week, so if you were checking box scores and saw his two catches for 12 yards, you may not have been aware of just how fortunate you were to have even that much on the stat sheet at intermission.
He finished with targets against the Dolphins, his second most in a game this season, and a reason for long-term optimism. He’s going to finish his rookie season having earned in the range of 80 targets, a major accomplishment given the limitations of this unit.
We can consider him a sleeper for next season, but I’m done doing it week to week this season. Taylor hasn’t had a 20-yard grab since September, and with him not seeing an end zone target in 12 of 13 games, there just isn’t enough of a path for him to pay you off for the risk you’re being asked to take by streaming him.
Mike Gesicki | CIN (vs BAL)
Mike Gesicki made a sneaky great catch against the Bills in the snow last week, where he had a hand between him and the ball, yet controlled it all the way to the ground for his first score of the season.
The idea of Gesicki is sound for fantasy purposes: he plays for a pass-happy offense that almost never asks him to block. It’s a good set-up, but with him accounting for just 16 of 41 TE routes last week, it’s hard to get too excited.
If you want to stream him in and are using this offense as the excuse, I’m not going to fight you on it. The position is largely a wasteland once you get past the first few tiers, and we have plenty of data points when it comes to the league labeling Gesicki was a receiver trapped in a tight end’s body.
That said, his mean production isn’t going to be much better than the names on your wire. Gesicki turned 10 targets into 54 yards in his first two weeks back after missing more than a month, production that included a week against these Ravens.
If you’re stuck, this is a bailout option, not a cheat code that you can count on to repeat his success.
Oronde Gadsden | LAC (at KC)
The bloom is off the rose with Oronde Gadsden at this point.
He was an athletic marvel that we got excited about, with good reason, in the middle of the season when his role peaked, but we are past that now, and he’s nothing more than a run-of-the-mill streamer stuck in a tough matchup.
The big TE has caught just seven of 17 targets thrown his way over the past month, and while there is some big play potential in this profile (13.9 yards per catch), I’d much rather bank on highly efficient looks at this position than hold my breath on a banged-up QB finding my player for chunk plays down the seam.
I’d rather stream either Johnson (Theo or Juwan) if given the opportunity.
Pat Freiermuth | PIT (vs MIA)
We don’t know who is going to be the “featured” tight end on a week-to-week basis, but at this point, I think we can safely assume that it doesn’t really matter.
Week 14 Pittsburgh TE Participation
- Pat Friermuth: 22 routes, 3 targets, 2.9 fantasy points
- Jonnu Smith: 12 routes, 1 target, 0 fantasy points
- Darnell Washington: 10 routes, 1 target, 2.2 fantasy points
It’s been more than a month since Freiermuth reached 20 receiving yards in a game, and he’s earned north of four targets on just one occasion. There are half a dozen tight ends widely available that carry more target and touchdown equity, so there should be no temptation to go dumpster diving this low, even if you still view the Dolphins as a plus-matchup.
Sam LaPorta | DET (at LAR)
“Very, very slim” was how Dan Campbell described the chances of us seeing Sam LaPorta (back) again in 2025, and that means you can safely move on from the third-year tight end.
LaPorta still has another year left on his deal, and with his age-25 season coming up for a team that wants to chase annual success, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the organization is proceeding with caution.
Brock Wright will continue to fill the TE role on this offense when healthy. However, prevailing wisdom suggests that their three elite skill-position players (Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Jahmyr Gibbs) will continue to do the heavy lifting, with the TE position as a whole more of an afterthought/complementary piece.
T.J. Hockenson | MIN (at DAL)
T.J. Hockenson found the end zone on Sunday, his third of the season, on a weird play where the Commanders seemed to decide to see if they could tackle him without using their hands.
Bold move.
He pinballed into the end zone and saved your bacon in the process, but you need to understand that you got bailed out. He had just one catch for the game, other than the score, and even more concerning than that was the fact that three Minnesota tight ends had a reception on the first drive.
Josh Oliver found the end zone twice in the 31-0 win, and if this job isn’t fully Hockenson’s, what exactly are you chasing in terms of upside?
This Dallas matchup isn’t as friendly as it was a month ago, and this Vikings offense is just as broken as it was a week ago: don’t get cute and put your season in the hands of maybe the third option in a J.J. McCarthy-led offense.
Theo Johnson | NYG (vs WAS)
Theo Johnson matched a season high with eight targets in Week 13 against the Patriots, and while he only recorded 5.9 of the 12.9 expected PPR points, there was an end zone target in his hands that could have (should have, if you ask him) made his stat line much better.
If he comes down with that catch, it would have been his fourth time in five games clearing 10 fantasy points, and he’d be a popular streaming name. Due to the drop and the Week 14 bye, some of the momentum in his favor has slowed, but if you’re streaming the position, you could do worse than an athletic marvel in an offense that lacks a true target hierarchy.
Four tight ends have reached 18 PPR points in this matchup this season, and while that outcome would surprise me, 11-14 points wouldn’t, and that’s useful at the TE position in a major way.
Travis Kelce | KC (vs LAC)
This is shaping up to be an awfully sad ending to a great career.
Travis Kelce made just one catch on Sunday night (his first single catch performance of the season), and his drops have a weird way of being magnified by him essentially handing the other team the ball.
The future Hall of Famer has under 50 yards in three straight games and no more than six targets in four of his past five. The connection with Patrick Mahomes hasn’t been the same all season, and with hope for this season fading, it’s fair to ask if we have already seen our last highly productive Kelce game.
READ MORE: Soppe’s Week 15 Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em: Analysis for Every Player in Every Game
My instinct on that front would be “no,” and he still finished Week 14 second on the Chiefs in targets: he simply did nothing with them. He scored against these Chargers in Brazil back in Week 1, and if he can do so again, he’s likely to find himself inside the top 10 for the week.
That’s a bit optimistic for me, but I do think he remains above the streaming tier: you just grin-and-bear it, hoping that he can cash in a high-value look at Kansas City trees to hang onto their playoff hopes.
Trey McBride | ARI (at HOU)
Trey McBride looked destined for another huge game with two catches and 45 yards on the first drive over the weekend against the Rams, but things went sideways in a hurry for the Cards, and their elite TE felt it.
After that opening script, he managed just 13 yards (three catches) the rest of the way as the Rams cruised to the easy win.
Nothing to see here. You rub some dirt on it and move on.
The Texans are, of course, another brutal matchup. Still, McBride has been a problem in seemingly every type of matchup this season, so don’t overreact to one down week (and for the record, I think you could sign at least a handful of your leaguemates up for 10.8 PPR points from the tight end position now and they’d take it, so try not to complain too loudly).
This is the Jacoby Brissett show the rest of the way, and that means McBride sits atop the position ranks without a real challenger.
Tyler Warren | IND (at SEA)
The Colts wanted Tyler Warren out there more often than anybody following the Daniel Jones injury, and that’s a good sign moving forward, even if the 15 yards on six targets left a bad taste in your mouth.
If Indy is going to save this season, it’s pretty clearly going to take some special work from their rookie tight end. We saw Warren play off ultra-productive Jonathan Taylor weeks into the season (he had a three-game TD streak that was engulfed in an eight-game run of 4+ receptions), and I tend to believe that is going to be the script moving forward.
Warren had just the one catch for two yards from Riley Leonard last week (30 routes run), but we have plenty of proof that this team is willing to be creative with a player they view as an offensive weapon more than a tight end, and that’s enough for me to lock him in as a starter in all formats.
Zach Ertz | WAS (at NYG)
The season is over for Zach Ertz after an ACL injury in the third quarter, and you have to wonder about the career trajectory of the 35-year-old.
He was a second-round pick in 2013 and has played in 181 regular-season games, plenty of wear and tear for the position. He wasn’t a high-upside play this season, but before Sunday, he had at least four grabs in five straight, including 10 against the Broncos in Week 13.
Maybe we see second-year Ben Sinnott finally get a chance to show us what he is capable of, but that’s more of a ‘study and learn for next season’ situation than it is one to stream with your season on the line.
It was a tough injury to see over the weekend, and our already slim TE pool shrinks by one during a critical part of the season.
