Hello, Taysom Hill! I hyped Hill as a cheat code in Week 9, and he delivered a monster game as the top fantasy player at any position in Week 11 while carrying his Saints to a big win over the Browns. He was also obviously the top tight end as well but Brock Bowers and Jonnu Smith finished just behind him in a tight end showdown as Smith’s Dolphins bested Bowers’ Raiders. Similarly, veterans David Njoku and Zach Ertz posted big weeks to round out the top five.
Despite his Week 11 success, Hill isn’t an option for Week 12, since the Saints are one of six teams on a bye week. The Falcons, Bills, Bengals, Saints, Jets and Jags all get the week off which will stretch everyone’s fantasy roster especially thin.
With 26 teams still in action, though, let’s take a look at my top 10 tight ends to start in Week 12:
- Brock Bowers (vs. DEN)
- Trey McBride (at SEA)
- Travis Kelce (at CAR)
- Cade Otton (at NYG)
- Jonnu Smith (vs. NE)
- Dallas Goedert (at LAR)
- David Njoku (vs. PIT)
- T.J. Hockenson (at CHI)
- Hunter Henry (at MIA)
- Will Dissly (vs. BAL)
