Fantasy Football Start/Sit Rankings & Advice: Tight End (Week 15)
Dallas Goedert has spent four weeks on injured reserve with a shoulder injury, but the Eagles have opened the 21-day practice window for him to return, and some of the team’s beat writers are reporting that Goedert has a reasonable chance to return for this week’s game against the Bears. I’m tentatively ranking Goedert as a midrange TE1, and I wouldn’t hesitate to play him if he’s cleared for action. Goedert is averaging 10.2 fantasy points per game in half-point PPR, putting him third in that category behind only Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews.
The Arizona Cardinals have been getting destroyed by tight ends all season, and it’s Greg Dulcich‘s turn to lay waste to the Cards. Arizona has given up the most receptions (86), receiving yards (950) and TD catches (9) to tight ends. Dulcich has 9-127-0 on 16 targets over his past two games, and he could see plenty of targets this weekend with Broncos WRs Courtland Sutton and Kendall Hinton both questionable due to hamstring injuries. The only catch is that if Broncos QB Russell Wilson isn’t able to clear the concussion protocol, Dulcich will be getting those targets from Brett Rypien.
As with Dallas Goedert, the Raiders’ Darren Waller (hamstring) has been designated to return from injured reserve. It’s hard to be quite as bullish on Waller as we have to be on Goedert. In his four full games this season, Waller has 16-175-1. Waller used to command massive target volume, but those days are gone now that Davante Adams is around. Still, if Waller suits up this weekend, we should probably regard him as a high-end TE2 — not a slam-dunk starter, but a viable lineup option.
Titans rookie Chigoziem Okonkwo is fun to watch. He’s athletic and hard to tackle, with a mean stiff arm. We want to find tight ends with traits – size, athleticism, explosiveness — but the key is finding a TE who has those traits and plays in an offense that uses them. We may have that with Okonkwo, because the Titans’ offense is straight out of the 1970s. They run the ball a lot and throw to their tight ends at a high rate. Tennessee’s TEs have been targeted on 26.8% of team pass attempts, the fourth-highest rate in the league. Okonkwo has seen at least five targets in three straight games. I currently have Okonkwo ranked as a midrange TE2, but I’ll move him up 4-5 spots if Titans WR Treylon Burks misses a second straight game due to a concussion.
