Saints TE Juwan Johnson faces the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12. / Mark Konezny-Imagn Images
Welcome to Week 12!
The NFL schedule goes back to a four-team bye week, as the Chargers, Commanders, Broncos, and Dolphins are off. That leaves us without TEs Oronde Gadsden, Zach Ertz, and Evan Engram, and at least two of them are viable weekly starters in most leagues.
There are longer any International Games left on the schedule, so the Sunday slate starts at 1pm ET with seven games. There are four games in the 4pm ET window, followed of course by the usual Sunday night and Monday night contests to end the weekend’s action.
This week’s tight end ranking risers include Dallas Goedert, Hunter Henry, and Kyle Pitts Sr., all of whom have great matchups next on the schedule. On the flip side, tight ends like David Njoku, Theo Johnson, and T.J. Hockenson could struggle versus tougher foes.
With that said, here are my complete fantasy football tight end rankings for Week 12 of the NFL season.
Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
