Tight ends present one of the biggest challenges in Fantasy Football each week. With the expectation of a few elite options (such as Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews), it can be extremely difficult for fantasy managers to find consistent weekly production for their tight end position. This has resulted in many fantasy players using a streaming strategy for their tight ends.
To properly execute a streaming strategy in Fantasy Football, managers must pay close attention to individual performances as well as weekly matchups. This will help determine which tight ends are in the most favorable situations in a given week.
NFL Week 13 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Start 'Em
Tyler Conklin - New York Jets vs. Minnesota Vikings
The New York Jets made a change at quarterback in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears from Zach Wilson to Mike White. This resulted in Tyler Conklin recording his second-highest yardage total since Week 4. He will now enter a Week 13 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings' bottom-ten fantasy defense against tight ends. Conklin is also facing his former team, which can add motivation to perform.
Tyler Higbee - Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks
One of the most beneficial strategies for tight ends this Fantasy Football season is to target a starter playing against the Seattle Seahawks. They have allowed the most fantasy points to tight ends all season long. Tyler Higbee will enter this situation in Week 13, while also finishing in the top ten in PPR points in each of the last two weeks.
Gerald Everett - Los Angeles Chargers vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Gerald Everett currently ranks 13th among all tight ends in total fantasy points during the 2022 season. He has proven to be a reliable target for Justin Herbert, especially while Mike Williams and Keenan Allen have been dealing with injuries. Williams was ruled out again in Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders' bottom-eight fantasy defense against tight ends, making Everett an intriguing option.
NFL Week 13 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Start 'Em
Robert Tonyan - Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears
The last time Robert Tonyan received more than four targets in a single game was all the way back in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. He appears to have become a bit of an afterthought for Aaron Rodgers in the Green Bay Packers' passing game. It's unlikely Tonyan will turn things around in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears. They rank in the top five in fantasy points allowed to tight ends this year.
Mike Gesicki - Miami Dolphins vs. San Francisco 49ers
Mike Gesicki has finished inside the top ten tight ends in PPR points three times during the 2022 Fantasy Football season so far. He finished outside the top 20 every other week this year. This means that he should only be considered a fantasy option in a favorbale matchup. Week 13 isn't one of them. The San Francisco 49ers' defense ranks towards the top of the NFL in almost every category. This includes ranking as a top-five fanatsy defense against tight ends.
Cameron Brate - Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New Orleans Saints
Cameron Brate entered the 2022 Fantasy Football season with a ton of upside. He was set to replace Rob Gronkowski as the starting tight end for Tom Brady. He has failed to live up to the hype and no finds himself in a timeshare with rookie Cade Otton. Brate will also face off against the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. They allow the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends.
