Tight ends had a down week overall in Week 11, with only six total touchdowns to the position. In comparison, there were 11 TE touchdowns in Week 10 and 18 TE touchdowns in Week 9. The position can be a little tricky to figure out from week to week, so let’s jump into Week 12 and take an early look at my top 15 TE Rankings for Week 12 to help you with all your lineup decisions at the position this week.
As we look ahead to Week 12, it’s important to remember that the Saints and Colts are back from bye weeks in Week 11, meaning Tyler Warren and Juwan Johnson are back in the mix. The Dolphins, Commanders, Broncos and Chargers have Week 12 off.
In week 11, George Kittle (24.7 FPTS) had two of the six scores at the position, but he had the second-highest fantasy point total behind Trey McBride (30.5 FPTS). Travis Kelce (24.1 FPTS), AJ Barner (17.1) and Mark Andrews (15.7 FPTS) rounded out the top five and were the only five tight ends who produced at least 15 fantasy points.
