Key Tight End Rankings for Week 13
As the 2025 NFL season progresses, the rankings for tight ends in Week 13 highlight several players poised for impactful performances. Leading the list is Trey McBride of the Arizona Cardinals, followed by Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs and Brock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders. Other notable tight ends include George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers), Tyler Warren (Indianapolis Colts), and Oronde Gadsden (Los Angeles Chargers), who is currently ranked as TE12 by average PPR points despite a recent slump.
Mark Andrews of the Baltimore Ravens is also a key player to watch, especially against a Cincinnati Bengals defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to tight ends. Kyle Pitts of the Atlanta Falcons is expected to maintain his TE1 status, particularly if teammate Drake London misses another game due to injury.
Emerging Talents and Matchup Insights
Hunter Henry of the New England Patriots is noted for his potential to deliver TE1 numbers, especially against a struggling New York Giants defense. Theo Johnson is highlighted as a must-start option, demonstrating versatility in scoring through catches, yards, and touchdowns. Colston Loveland is also emerging as a fantasy contributor, though he faces a challenging matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends.
Dallas Goedert's performance has been underwhelming, with only one game exceeding 44 yards this season, raising questions about his consistency in a high-potential Eagles offense. Meanwhile, Zach Ertz provides a reliable floor as a TE2, while Brenton Strange's unexpected leading performance for the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12 suggests he could be a viable TE2 option against the Tennessee Titans.
Kicker Rankings for Week 13
In the kicker rankings, Brandon Aubrey of the Dallas Cowboys tops the list, followed by Jason Myers of the Seattle Seahawks and Ka’imi Fairbairn of the Houston Texans. Other kickers to consider include Cameron Dicker (Los Angeles Chargers) and Andy Borregales (New England Patriots). The rankings reflect the potential for scoring opportunities based on matchups and team performance.
Criticism and Concerns
Despite the promising matchups, there are concerns regarding the volatility of certain players. For instance, Hunter Henry's inconsistency raises doubts about his reliability as a TE1. Additionally, the potential for zero-point performances from kickers remains a significant risk, emphasizing the need for careful consideration in lineup decisions.
