TE Notes: George Kittle’s downside finally returned in Week 12. The problem, as always, remains his upside. It will be more attainable for a potential Week 13 shootout with the Eagles’ soft pass defense. The Birds have been less giving up the seam than the boundary, but they are not a stay-away tight end defense. … Trey McBride is averaging eight targets across Kyler Murray’s three starts. Almost no tight end is receiving that kind of usage right now. The Steelers stink as a matchup, but we don’t have the luxury of turning away from this connection. … Sam LaPorta is averaging 35 yards over the past three weeks. He’s just a classic “who are you ranking ahead of him?” LaPorta’s questions are not as concerning as they are for those behind him. … Dalton Schultz has dudded in back-to-back contests. A Broncos defense that surrenders the most tight end fantasy points is pulled over on the shoulder waiting with jumper cables.
It’s not a bit to say Taysom Hill is a tight end scam. He is. He’s not a tight end. It’s also not a stretch to say the Saints have essentially no choice but to involve him against the Lions’ struggling defense with Rashid Shaheed (quad) out and Chris Olave (concussion) ailing. … Ok then! The Steelers’ post-Matt Canada offense apparently likes Pat Freiermuth. Part of it was a matchup with the Bengals’ seam-deficient defense, but you don’t look away from 9/120 with six teams on bye and almost no other tight ends producing. … The same Bengals defense that jump-started Freiermuth will hopefully do the same for Evan Engram. Still yet to catch fewer than four passes, perhaps Engram finally finds the end zone after he came oh-so-close in Week 12. … Jake Ferguson is an environment bet, not a volume bet. He’s averaging just 32 yards over the past three weeks.
David Njoku has 24 targets in Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s two post-Deshaun Watson starts. He was also gobbling up looks even before Watson went down. The touchdown odds are long in this short-handed offense, but Njoku is a solid volume bet even if Joe Flacco gets the call. … The thesis of the Gerald Everett play — all his teammates are hurt, maybe he will score a touchdown — finally came true in Week 12. It remains in play for Week 13. … It’s all but over for Kyle Pitts. He remains in the top 15 by sheer virtue of overdue big-play regression. This man can’t remain this empty-handed forever. He could lose you a week. Unlike Cade Otton, he might also win you one. … Juwan Johnson offers zero ceiling. He does provide reasonable hope of floor with half the Saints’ skill corps injured vs. a struggling Lions defense. … Tucker Kraft is a TE2 touchdown flier vs. the Chiefs’ stout defense.
