In Week 12, five tight ends produced over 20 fantasy points let by Trey McBride ($5,600; 28.3 FPTS), who came back from his bye with a huge game against the Seahawks. Jonnu Smith ($4,100; 23.7 FPTS) also continued his surge with a big game against the Patriots, and T.J. Hockenson ($4,200; 21.4 FPTS) had his best game since returning from his injury. Noah Gray ($3,100; 22.6 FPTS) had two touchdowns for a second week in a row for the Chiefs, and George Kittle ($6,000; 20.2 FPTS) had success even though he didn’t have Brock Purdy.

With all 32 teams back in action for Week 13, this week is a very crowded top-10 with more good options than a Thanksgiving Day buffet. After getting last week off, the Falcons, Bills, Bengals, Saints, Jets and Jags are all back in the mix and those tight ends are fighting for spots at the adult table in this week’s contests.

Two of the top tight ends go head-to-head as the Raiders and Chiefs clash on Black Friday, while several other important matchups have major playoff implications on Sunday.

Let’s dive into my top 10 tight ends to start in Week 13:

  1. Brock Bowers (at KC)
  2. Trey McBride (at MIN)
  3. Travis Kelce (vs. LV)
  4. Cade Otton (at CAR)
  5. George Kittle (at BUF)-lower if Purdy is out again
  6. Jonnu Smith (at GB)
  7. T.J. Hockenson (vs. ARI)
  8. Taysom Hill (vs. LAR)
  9. David Njoku (at DEN)
  10. Hunter Henry (vs. IND)

These rankings are based on news and information available as of Monday afternoon. Stay tuned to DraftKings Network throughout the week for ongoing coverage as matchups and situations develop.
