Cole Kmet finished among the top six tight ends three times during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. This proves he can be an extremely productive streamer. The issue is that two of the performances occurred agaisnt the Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins, each ranking in the bottom five against fantasy tight ends. Week 16 is a much more challenging situation against the Buffalo Bills. They allow the third-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Mike Gesicki - Miami Dolphins vs. Green Bay Packers

Mike Gesicki has been extremely disappointing in Fantasy Football over the last several weeks. Despite playing in one of the highest-scoring offenses in the NFL, he has finished outside the top 45 tight ends in PPR points in each of the last four weeks. The Green Bay Packers rank inside the top 12 in fantasy points allowed per game to tight ends, creating a difficult matchup for Gesicki in Week 16.

David Njoku - Cleveland Browns vs. New Orleans Saints

David Njoku has been a boom-or-but tight end during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He finoshed among the top eight tight ends five times this year, while also finishing outside the top 25 four times. Week 16 appears more likely to be a bust week. The New Orleans Saints allow the second-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.
