Tight ends are one position in Fantasy Football each season where strategic managers have an opportunity to gain an edge over the competition. There are very few fantasy superstars in the tight end position, so one of the most beneficial ways to approach it is by using a streaming strategy. This is one way to optimize the position when utilized properly.

Streaming in Fantasy Football basically means starting different players each week at a particular position, such as tight end. The starting options are determined more by the situation than the players themselves. It's wise to target tight ends who have demonstrated encouraging recent individual performances, while also playing in a favorable matchup towards fantasy production.

Tight ends present a difficult challenge in Fantasy Football each season. They represent the most polarizing position in terms of finding consistent fantasy production. With the exception of a few elite options, such as Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, and George Kittle, it can be very difficult to find reliable starters in the position.

This challenge is further increased by the bye weeks. The Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers will have their bye week during Week 13 of the 2022 NFL season. This means their tight ends will be unavailable for Fantasy Football. The following rankings could potentially help managers set their lineups this week, especially those streaming tight ends.
