1. Travis Kelce, Chiefs vs. Broncos
Travis Kelce had a “down” game by his standards vs. the Bengals finishing with just 7.6 fantasy points. Kelce has yet to have two bad performances in a row and he should get into the end zone vs. the Broncos this weekend.
2. T.J. Hockenson, Vikings vs. Lions
T.J. Hockenson had just 7.3 fantasy points last weekend vs. the Jets, but this feels too good to be true with Hockenson going up against his former team. He will have one of his better fantasy performances all season long.
3. George Kittle, 49ers vs. Buccaneers
I know it is hard to trust George Kittle with his fluctuating production (just 9 fantasy points combined last two weeks after a 24+ fantasy point performance 3 weeks ago) but I am confident this will be one of his better games all season. The Buccaneers have a stout run defense and rush the QB a lot, meaning Kittle will get the targets to succeed this weekend.
4. Mark Andrews, Ravens vs. Steelers
Mark Andrews hasn’t had over 12.3 fantasy points since week 6 and now won’t have Lamar Jackson at QB this weekend. Andrews’ obvious upside puts him in the top 4 but I am not confident he will play well this weekend against a Steelers defense that is playing better with T.J. Watt back.
5. Dalton Schultz, Cowboys vs. Texans
Dalton Schultz had only 5.3 fantasy points last weekend. However, the Cowboys should put up a lot of a points against a weak defense in the Texans, meaning Schultz will get the targets to succeed.
6. Pat Freiermuth, Steelers vs. Ravens
Pat Freiermuth is one of the more consistent TE’s in the league (averages 10.5 fantasy points per game) and that alone makes him a top 6 TE weekly despite a tough matchup vs. the Ravens this weekend.
7. Gerald Everett, Chargers vs. Dolphins
Gerald Everett had his first 13+ fantasy point game since week 4 last weekend and will take that momentum into what should be a high scoring game vs. the Dolphins on Sunday Night Football.
8. Greg Dulcich, Broncos vs. Chiefs
After three straight 7 fantasy points or less performances, Greg Dulcich broke out for 14.5 fantasy points vs. the Ravens last weekend. The Chiefs don’t have a great pass defense and Russell Wilson should continue to give Dulcich looks.
9. David Njoku, Browns vs. Bengals
David Njoku did not play last weekend, but he is still one of the higher upside plays at TE on a week-to-week basis. Njoku will look to bounce back (if he plays, listed as questionable right now) against the Bengals this weekend.
9. Tyler Higbee, Rams vs. Raiders
Tyler Higbee only had 3.4 fantasy points vs. the Seahawks last weekend, but the Raiders have one of the worst secondaries in football and Higbee is one of the Rams only weapons on offense right now.
10. Foster Moreau, Raiders vs. Rams
Foster Moreau seems to only be productive when he gets into the end zone with two 12+ fantasy point performances when he does, and two 4 fantasy point or less performances when he doesn’t over his past 4 games.
11. Noah Fant, Seahawks vs. Panthers
Noah Fant found the end zone for the first time since week 4 last weekend and has a positive matchup against the tanking Panthers.
12. Tyler Conklin, Jets vs. Bills
Tyler Conklin hasn’t been good since week 8 against the Patriots (where he had 25+ fantasy points), but he remains a top 15 TE based on usage percentage and upside.
13. Evan Engram, Jaguars vs. Titans
Evan Engram is coming off of a 14 fantasy point performance where he caught 4 passes for 30 yards and a touchdown. Engram’s performance seems contingent upon Trevor Lawrence playing (and Lawrence is listed as questionable right now).
14. Austin Hooper, Titans vs. Jaguars
Austin Hooper is still living off of a 19+ fantasy performance in week 11 (he’s only had 11 fantasy points combined since then) but he still has a usage percentage high enough to perform on a weekly basis.
15. Hunter Henry, Patriots vs. Cardinals
Hunter Henry is Mac Jones’ favorite checkdown, but he only has two games all season with 15+ fantasy points. There is some concern in playing Henry, but Mac Jones is throwing the ball more in recent weeks and Henry could benefit tremendously from that.
