Bye weeks are behind us, and it’s playoff time for most season-long fantasy football leagues. All 32 teams are in action in Week 15, so there are plenty of strong options at each position, including tight end.
Last week, George Kittle ($5,800; 24.1 FPTS) was the top tight end in fantasy with David Njoku ($5,100; 17.2 FPTS) and Juwan Johnson ($3,400; 15 FPTS) right behind him. Meanwhile, Trey McBride ($6,100; 14 FPTS) continues to put up huge numbers every week but cannot break into the end zone. During the Raiders’ loss in Tampa, Brock Bowers ($6,500; 8.2 FPTS) had a down game but his backup Michael Mayer ($2,700; 13.8 FPTS) found room to operate and had a big game.
Looking ahead to this week’s matchups, Kittle’s 49ers start the action on Thursday against the Rams. On Monday Night Football, we get a double-header of action that includes Bowers/Mayer and the Raiders hosting the Falcons while T.J. Hockenson ($4,300; 8.5 FPTS) and the Vikings take on the struggling Bears.
Let’s take a look at my top 10 tight ends to start in Week 15:
- George Kittle (vs. LAR)
- Trey McBride (vs. NE)
- Brock Bowers (vs. ATL)
- David Njoku (vs. KC)
- Jake Ferguson (at CAR)
- Travis Kelce (at CLE)
- T.J. Hockenson (vs. CHI)
- Jonnu Smith (at HOU)
- Hunter Henry (at ARI)
- Pat Freiermuth (at PHI)
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.
