Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 12: Tight end rankings

Tight ends are one of the positions in Fantasy Football that often require the most strategy by successful managers. This is due to the polarizing nature of the position in Fantasy Football. Except for a few elite options, such as Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews, it can be extremely challenging to find consistent weekly production from tight ends.

This has resulted in many fantasy managers using a streaming strategy for their tight ends. Analyzing direct weekly matchups and recent individual performances is one of the best ways to determine which tight ends are worth a spot in the starting lineup each week of the Fantasy Football season.

NFL Week 12 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Start 'Em

Foster Moreau - Las Vegas Raiders vs. Seattle Seahawks

Foster Moreau has been filling in for Darren Waller for the Las Vegas Raiders as he recovers from an injury. He has already finished inside the top 13 tight ends in Fantasy Football in two of the last four weeks. He now gets an ideal matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12. They allow the second-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Hayden Hurst - Cincinnati Bengals vs. Tennessee Titans

Hayden Hurst has proven to be one of the many reliable targets for Joe Burrow in the Cincinnati Bengals' passing game. He has also been solid in Fantasy Football in the right matchups, recording five finishes among the top 14 tight ends. He may record another in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. They rank in the bottom 12 in fantasy points allowed to tight ends.

Pat Freiermuth - Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Indianapolis Colts

Pat Freiermuth has proven to be a reliable tight end in Fantasy Football this season, regardless of whether Mitchell Trubisky or Kenny Pickett has been the starting quarterback. He has finished inside the top 15 tight ends in seven of his nine games this season. While the Indianapolis Colts have a solid defense, they rank in the bottom half of the NFL against opposing tight ends.

NFL Week 12 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Sit 'Em

Greg Dulcich - Denver Broncos vs. Carolina Panthers

Greg Dulcich burst onto the scene in Fantasy Football. He recorded three consecutive finishes among the top 12 tight ends in each of his first three games. He has severely faded since then, finishing outside the top 15 in each of his last two games. He faces off against the Carolina Panthers' sneaky-good defense in Week 12. They rank inside the top ten defending opposing tight ends.

Taysom Hill - New Orleans Saints vs. San Francisco 49ers

Taysom Hill ranks inside the top ten tight ends in total fantasy points scored this season, but it's a bit deceiving. He's only finished inside the top ten twice this year and has finished 48th or worse three times. He's been the definition of a boom or bust option. It will be difficult to boom against the San Francisco 49ers. They are one of the top defenses in the entire NFL in most areas.

Tyler Conklin - New York Jets vs. Chicago Bears

Tyler Conklin has ranked among the top 20 tight ends six times this season, making him a valuable contributor for fantasy managers. The issue in Week 12 is that he faces off against the Chicago Bears. They are one of the best in the NFL defending tight ends, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game.
