TE Notes: Does Travis Kelce still deserve a valedictory rank as the TE1 overall? It’s hard to say. We also know not a soul on planet earth is benching him in pursuit of a fantasy championship. … Trey McBride has drawn fewer than eight targets on time in his past six games. It was seven against the Texans. His touchdown odds should be enhanced vs. the Eagles’ porous defense. … Evan Engram’s volume has gone stratospheric amidst the Jaguars’ injury issues. The Panthers are a tough matchup, albeit not one that is going to dictate the pace and tempo like the Ravens did two weeks ago. Engram feels too big to fail for the fantasy finals. … The same is true for David Njoku against the Jets’ strong defense. Joe Flacco will probably have his least efficient game as Browns starter, but the Trevor Siemian-led Jets are not going to be able to keep the Cleveland offense off the field. Njoku should get his looks, with several of them likely coming inside the 20-yard line.

George Kittle has an A++ matchup in the Commanders. The same was true against the Cardinals two weeks ago and he drew four targets. That’s always the catch-22 with the position’s most explosive player. … Sam LaPorta has been hurting for volume with the Lions’ offense at full strength. The Lions operating as nearly touchdown road ‘dogs for a 53.5-totaled affair should make up for that for the fantasy finals. … Opposing LaPorta will be Jake Ferguson, whose matchup could scarcely be better in the Lions’ undermanned pass defense. … Fantasy managers never seemed to get comfortable with Cole Kmet even though he’s the TE7 by both average and total PPR points. The Falcons cough up the seventh most seam fantasy points … is what I wrote before Kmet appeared likely to sit with a knee injury. … Both Isaiah Likely’s floor and ceiling are intact for what could be a high-scoring game with the Dolphins. … Dallas Goedert has 18 targets over the past two weeks but don’t be surprised if the identity-searching Eagles try to establish it against the Cardinals.

Gerald Everett has eight targets in three straight starts. The Broncos’ tight end defense is so bad it just allowed a touchdown to Mike Gesicki. … Dalton Schultz finally revived for eight catches on 11 targets vs. the Browns. Now C.J. Stroud is due back against the Titans’ exploitable pass defense. TE11 is a conservative ranking. … Tucker Kraft’s final ranking will depend on the Packers’ receiver health. It’s certainly not looking good for Jordan Love’s wideouts at the current moment. … It doesn’t look like TE1 numbers will be possible for Darren Waller in this current iteration of the Giants’ offense. … I’m not sure what’s gone wrong with Taysom Hill. Probably all the minor injuries. He is still one of the best upside bets you will find outside the top 12 at tight end. … Drawing even with Dawson Knox in usage as the Bills go giga ultra run-heavy, Dalton Kincaid has lost TE1 benefit of the doubt.
