TE Notes: Zach Ertz has become the Eagles’ entire offense, gobbling up 30 receptions for 288 yards and two scores over his past three appearances. He is the first tight end in league history to go at least 9/90 in three straight games. His health (hamstring) is worth monitoring. … Travis Kelce headed into the Chiefs’ Week 12 bye with three straight 7/60 performances, finding the end zone twice. The Raiders, unsurprisingly, have permitted the fourth most TE fantasy points. … George Kittle returned from his two-game absence to his best effort of the year, catching six balls for 129 yards and a score. His reward is a date with a Ravens Defense surrendering the fifth fewest TE fantasy points. A concern for Kittle is pressure-sensitive Jimmy Garoppolo potentially going off the rails in the 1PM ET road date, though the 46 over/under helps. … Hunter Henry has yet to catch fewer than four passes or draw fewer than six targets in six games since returning. He’s matchup-proof. The Broncos aren’t a bad one, anyways.

No team has allowed fewer TE fantasy points than the 49ers. Mark Andrews enters the matchup with just seven looks over his past two contests. Blowout game flow has undoubtedly played a role in the depressed target totals, while the 49ers’ defense has taken some injury blows up the seam. … Ceiling has been hard to come by for Darren Waller over the past two months, a span in which he’s cleared 60 yards twice in eight games. He is keeping his floor afloat with a steady diet of targets. Comeback game script and a 51.5 over/under will keep his upside in reach vs. the Chiefs. … Greg Olsen has re-established his every-week TE1 bonafides with a trio of five-catch efforts. The Panthers are 10-point favorites against the pathetic Redskins, which could limit Kyle Allen’s passing volume. … Dallas Goedert’s eight Week 12 targets were second only to teammate Ertz amongst TEs, though he turned the workload into just 32 yards. Either way, Goedert has functionally become the Eagles’ No. 2 pass catcher. He has the same plus matchup Ertz does in the Dolphins. … Jared Cook’s two biggest yardage outputs have come in the past three weeks. The Falcons’ defense predictably came back down to earth in Week 12. … With Eric Ebron IRed and T.Y. Hilton (calf) still injured, Jack Doyle suddenly looks like a TE1 on paper. It doesn’t hurt that the Titans are coughing up the 11th most TE fantasy points.

Ryan Griffin’s two scores in the past two weeks have come on a modest eight targets. The Bengals will do what they can to keep Griffin’s TE1 case cooking. … Gerald Everett’s usage has spiraled along with the rest of the Rams’ offense, but his Week 13 matchup is impossible to ignore. The Cardinals continue to bleed the most TE fantasy points. Naturally, Everett is suddenly battling a knee issue. … Both Noah Fant’s upside and downside are self explanatory at this point. Drew Lock’s potential insertion under center is a Week 13 wild card. Lock was big-play obsessed in college. … Mike Gesicki’s consistent 6-7 target usage finally produced a Week 12 touchdown. … I found Jacob Hollister to be a fairly obvious Week 12 fade, never rising him above TE13 in my ranks. Of course, it’s unclear if it was actually good process, as Hollister was overthrown on a shoo-in score. Playing in the Seahawks’ target-deep, run-focused offense, I just don’t see any real difference between Hollister and the legions of other touchdown-or-bust TE2s. … With Adam Thielen (hamstring) potentially returning, the Kyle Rudolph/Irv Smith party is probably over. … The Texans’ tight end corps has become a three-man rotation, hollowing out Darren Fells’ already limited appeal. ... “Kaden Smith” in a GPP?
