TE Notes: Excluding the Chiefs’ bye week of Week 12, Travis Kelce has 39 more yards than any other tight end over the past three weeks the Chiefs have played. The toughest of tests, the Patriots limited Kelce to 8/84/1 across the teams’ two 2018 meetings. … Coming off by far his worst game of the season in rain-drenched Baltimore, George Kittle heads to domed New Orleans for a game with a surprisingly-low 44 over/under. The Saints’ linebacker group is so banged up they just re-signed Manti Te’o. … Fighting through a hamstring issue, Zach Ertz also has to contend with the healthy returns of Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor. He’s still a cinch top-four option as the Eagles’ No. 1 pass catcher. … Hunter Henry has a modest 109 yards over his past three games, though he’s been held below six targets just once since Week 1. His upside remains immense. … Mark Andrews continues to provide big point totals on low target counts. He has four scores in his past four games. … Evan Engram has done better work with Eli Manning than Daniel Jones.

Austin Hooper returns vs. a Panthers Defense allowing the eighth fewest TE fantasy points. … Darren Waller is coming off his best game in six weeks. Week 14 opponent Tennessee is surrendering the seventh most TE fantasy points, giving Waller the best matchup of the top-eight TEs. … With Eric Ebron on injured reserve and T.Y. Hilton (calf) nowhere in sight, Jack Doyle should be locked into 8-10 weekly targets. He received 11 in Week 13. Only the Cardinals are coughing up more TE fantasy points than Tampa Bay. … Jared Cook has reached 74 yards in 3-of-4 games. Although tight end tough on the year, the 49ers have permitted big games to Mark Andrews and Jacob Hollister in the past four weeks. Cook’s usage has stabilized to the point that he’s a safe mid-range TE1. … Seeing similar target counts the past 5-6 weeks, I will give Mike Gesicki the rankings edge over Dallas Goedert because he has demonstrated a higher ceiling, reaching 79 yards twice. Goedert’s season high is 69. He posted 66 last week, but Jeffery and Agholor’s aforementioned return makes a repeat unlikely.

Greg Olsen (concussion) seems unlikely to suit up. If he does, the Falcons are returning to their natural, burnable, state on defense. … Jacob Hollister is a tough one to figure. Was his Week 13 re-emergence because Tyler Lockett was battling the flu? Either way, he’s reached six targets in 3-of-4 games, which is enough for TE1 value in this wretched year for the position. … What’s bad for Adam Thielen (hamstring) has been good for Kyle Rudolph, who is up to five scores in his past four games, and six in his past six. Even if Thielen returns for Week 14, the Lions’ defense is as soft as it gets, keeping Rudolph in the TE1 mix. … They aren’t the matchup Arizona is — no one is up the seam — but the Seahawks are another approachable seam foe for Tyler Higbee. Gerald Everett’s (knee) status is unclear. … If any team were going to will Vance McDonald to 50 yards or a touchdown, it would be the Cardinals.
