2025 NFL Tight End Rankings: Week 13

The return of the Hunter, a familiar face, scarce high scorers, and 5 of the top 12 scorers at TE are available in more than 50% of leagues, even though they may not be ours. Read on.

The Week 12 double-digit PPR point scorers at TE:

12 TEs this week, and this was not a high-scoring week IRL. It was a low week for TE TDs, with only six players getting one. Only six players with more than 12 points.

Here’s the list of TE targets for Week 12 in the red zone, sorted by targets, with 1+ receptions:

All stats are exclusive to usage from inside the 20-yard line. No RZ target boom games this week. 5 of the 6 TE TDs in Week 12 came from inside the red zone. The only one that did not was Hunter Henry’s.

This is not the be-all and end-all, but a piece of the puzzle. There are no guarantees. And if you see this and say, “Why don’t they do this more?” remember there are other players on the field on both sides of the football. And tight ends do a lot of blocking.

This table shows how many PPR points defenses give up to TEs, sorted by “FP/G.” The “TE Rank” column is the ranking high-to-low, and the “FP/G” is point per reception points per game (hereafter abbreviated to “PPR PPG”). I’ll use those below, and if you’re someone/e who enjoys pointing out mistakes, congratulations! You’re my new editor!

Week 13 byes: None! It’s a holiday week, and by the time we get to Sunday, four games will already be in the books.

More tight end stuff:

1. Let’s see who visits Detroit for the first game on Thanksgiving in the U.S. Why, it’s the Green Bay Packers! How basic! But there will be stakes as this game will be a rematch of the Week 1 meeting, where the Packers prevailed at Lambeau, and both teams are looking up at the Bears. The Packers stuck a fork in the Vikings in Week 12, and the passing game did not have much involvement as QB Jordan Love only threw 21 passes. The three TEs (Luke Musgrave, John FitzPatrick, and Josh Whyle) combined for a 4/3/19/0 line. If that sounds familiar, then you read this column last week. These aren’t useful as injury replacements, and there is only one more bye week, so I hope none of us are relying on these guys. The Lions allow the 12th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 12.4.
2. Unlike many years past, the Lions winning on Thanksgiving wouldn’t be an upset. Speaking of upsets, how about letting the 2-9 Giants hold the lead in their house for 57:28 of the game? In the end, order won out. TE Brock Wright was third on the team in targets, but that translated into a 4/3/29/0 line, and that was with QB Jared Goff attempting a season-high 42 passes. Sam LaPorta’s season could be over, and barring something unexpected, so is my interest in Lions’ TEs in fantasy. The Packers allow the 16th most PPR PPG to TEs at 13.6.
3. Our next holiday stop is in Arlington, TX, and who will be visiting the Cowboys? Why, it’s the defending AFC Champion Chiefs! This is the second competitive game of the day with stakes! So much for my post-dinner nap. Kansas City took the first step in rehabbing its season in Week 12 by beating the Colts. Entering the 4th quarter down 9-20 and staring the possibility of missing the postseason for the first time since the 2014 season in the face, they summoned, for arguably the first time this season, the team no one but Chiefs fans wants to see, outgaining the Colts 228 yards to 13 and outscoring the Colts 14-0 the rest of the way. They’re not out of the woods, but that was an important first step. TE Travis Kelce had a quiet game with a 6/4/43/0 line. It wasn’t much, but Noah Gray’s 4/3/25/0 was his best of the season in PPR. The Cowboys allow the 15th most PPR PPG to TEs at 13.6.
4. The Cowboys’ win on Sunday was inarguably their biggest of the year and evened up their record at 5-5-1, avenging the loss to the Eagles in the 2025 Kickoff game. Down 0-21 after the first three Eagles’ possessions, the Cowboys clawed back, keeping the Eagles off the board the rest of the way and winning on K Brandon Aubrey’s walkoff 42-yard FG. TE Jake Ferguson caught 5 of 6 targets for 60 yards, and Brevyn Spann-Ford contributed a 4-yard TD from QB Dak Prescott that made the score 21-13 with 2:02 left in the 3rd quarter. Luke Schoonmaker didn’t catch his only target. The Chiefs allow the 9th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 11.3.
5. What do we have for our holiday dessert? A trip to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore? I’m sure this game looked more attractive early in the season, but there is speculation that Bengals QB Joe Burrow will return to the field in Week 13 after missing nine games; if so, WR Ja’Marr Chase will likely return to the field with Burrow, having served his one-game suspension. Unfortunately, they’ll be missing WR Tee Higgins, who left the Week 12 game with 4:50 left with a concussion; it will be tough clearing the protocol in time to play against the Ravens. TE Mike Gesicki was activated off IR and played for the first time since Week 6, finishing with a 6/4/35/0 line. Noah Fant was pushed a bit out of the way in this one with a 1/1/9/0 line, same as Tanner Hudson; Drew Sample caught his only target, but it was for no gain. Gesicki, Fant, and Sample had 6 of Joe Flacco’s first 10 passes; Gesicki and Hudson were targeted on 3 of Flacco’s final 27 attempts. Fant (18 snaps) and Sample (33 snaps) handled blocking on over 50% of their snaps; Gesicki (28 snaps) and Hudson (14 snaps) were used more in passing situations. I’m likely buying Gesicki short-term as Higgins has already been ruled out for Thursday night. The Ravens allow the 7th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 11.1.
6. The Ravens seem to have lost some of the swagger they gained after beating the Bears and Dolphins soundly coming out of the bye; after a hard-fought win at the Vikings, they’ve struggled the last two weeks, first at Cleveland, then at home against the Jets. The Ravens only managed 241 yards of offense against a team that had been allowing nearly 330 a game. QB Lamar Jackson has not looked like himself since getting hurt against the Chiefs in Week 4. That’s not to say he has not played well, but “well enough” isn’t his usual level. The only Ravens receiver who had more than 2 receptions Sunday was Zay Flowers. TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely each caught their only target: Andrews for 9 yards, Likely for 10. Andrews also had 2 carries for 2 yards. Those are the kind of games that make us fear the tight end position. The Bengals allow the most PPR PPG to TEs at 22.8.
7. If turkey, stuffing, pie, and football didn’t satisfy us on Thursday, fret not: Black Friday is no longer just the Bacchanalia of shopping days; it‘s also a day for more NFL football! This year’s edition features one of the hottest teams against the defending World Champions! The Bears fell behind early, losing fumbles on consecutive series, the first giving the Steelers a 14-7 lead. The Bears then reeled off 24 of the next 31 points and hung on for their 8th win in 9 games. TE Colston Loveland had a 5/4/49/1 line: his 12-yard TD in the 2nd quarter tied the game at 14. Cole Kmet was less involved in the passing game with a 1/1/3/0 line. The Eagles allow the 3rd fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 8.2.
8. The Eagles have to be smarting after Week 12, scoring TDs on their first three possessions, with 192 yards of offense through the first 18 ½ minutes, then being kept off the board the rest of the game and compiling 147 yards. Their defense may be championship caliber, but I’m having grave doubts that their offense is, and I’m wondering if they’re not thinking the same. After looking like a sure top-10 TE in PPR early, Dallas Goedert has only topped 3 receptions or 28 yards once since Week 6, and both occurred in Week 10 against the Packers. In that time, his only 2 TDs came in Week 8 vs. the Giants. The Eagles reeled off 4 straight wins after losing at MetLife in Week 6, but their offense has not looked the same since that game. The Bears allow the 7th most PPR PPG to TEs at 15.2.
9. The 49ers head to Cleveland on Sunday on a streak! After flip-flopping wins and losses from Week 3-10, they had the same result twice in a row, and happily for them, the results were wins. They didn’t make it easy, even when the Panthers tried to help. After marching 72 yards in 15 plays on the opening possession, their next three ended in interceptions of QB Brock Purdy. The defense got one of those back, forced a three-and-out on the second, and finally allowed a field goal when the Panthers took over at the SF 35. It’s possible a different offense would make the Niners pay more dearly, so that would be best out of their system. SF ran 70 offensive plays, and RB Christian McCaffrey handled the ball 31 of those. TE George Kittle was involved as well, leading the team with 10 targets, which turned into a 6/78/0 line. Luke Farrell caught his only target for 3 yards. The Browns allow the 15th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 13.3.
10. The Browns got their third win of the season in Las Vegas, and QB Shedeur Sanders won his first career start. They didn’t really look organized to me, likely the effect of Sanders’ only having one week’s practice with the first-team offense. They did have completions of 66, 52, and 39 yards, which were not among the traits when Dillon Gabriel was leading the offense. I don’t want to make too much of a game against the moribund Raiders, but it sure looked like RB Quinshon Judkins was enjoying the increased space between bodies. I feel like “TE Harold Fannin had a x/4/4x/0 line” is one of my greatest hits, but it keeps being requested by the audience, so: TE Harold Fannin had 6/4/40/0 line. David Njoku has been dealing with a knee issue for weeks: he only played 25 snaps Sunday and was not targeted. If you need a roster spot, I think you can drop Njoku. The 49ers allow the 13th most PPR PPG to TEs at 14.2.
11. The Jaguars had a harrowing game in Glendale versus the Cardinals, overcoming 4 turnovers, five lead changes, and a last-gasp drive by the Cards in OT to come out on top and move one game closer to the Colts in the AFC South. TE Brenton Strange returned from IR and got right into the action as QB Trevor Lawrence threw Strange’s way on his first pass: on 2 & 8 from the Jags’ 5, WR Parker Washington’s route created a hole in the Cards’ zone that Lawrence found; Strange made a diving catch at the 28, then got up and fought off four defenders to get to the Jags’ 35 for 30 yards. Strange finished with a 5/5/93/0 line. With the musical chairs that the Jags have going on at WR, Strange could be in line for some good games down the stretch, and if he’s available, he’s worth acquiring. This week’s game against the Titans is the toughest matchup; the Titans’ success against TEs may be a reflection of their lack of it against other positions, but something to temper expectations. The Titans allow the 8th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 11.3.
12. The final score does not tell the story of the Titans on Sunday. They were down 20 twice in the 3rd quarter, and the Seahawks took their foot off the gas and allowed 169 of the 296 yards and both the TDs the Titans had on offense. TEs Gunnar Helm (7/6/51/0) and Chig Okonkwo (4/3/40/0) were involved, but they cap each other’s ceiling. They’re decent options for 7-10 points, but with ~170 passing yards per game and 7 passing TDs on the season, this is not an offense to bet on. The Jaguars allow the 2nd most PPR PPG to TEs at 17.5.
13. The Texans beat the Bills up on Thursday night, sacking Bills QB Josh Allen 8 times, forcing 3 turnovers, and limiting Buffalo to 1 TD. On the offensive side, the Texans had a balanced attack, and of QB Davis Mills’ 28 targets, TE Dalton Schultz had 4, but only 1 reception for 8 yards, season lows. The Bills are a matchup to try to avoid for TEs. Better matchups are on the horizon with the Colts, Chiefs, and Cardinals in the next three weeks. Starting Schultz against the Raiders and Chargers in Weeks 16 and 17 will require more thought. The Colts allow the 6th most PPR PPG to TEs at 16.4.
14. The Colts could not close the door on the Chiefs in Week 12, and it cost them. QB Daniel Jones had a season-low 181 air yards. Of his 31 distributed targets, 7 were to TE Tyler Warren, which he converted into a 5/45/0 line. Mo Alie-Cox had a 1/1/9/0 line, and Drew Ogletree had a 3/2/8 and 1 of Jones’ 2 TD passes, making the score 14-3 early in the 2nd quarter. Warren is an every-week starter. Trey McBride, George Kittle, or Brock Bowers are the only TEs I’d regularly start ahead of him. The Texans allow the 5th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 9.6.
15. I’m pretty sure I’d go broke betting on the NFC South teams when they play each other. I had the Saints over the spiraling Falcons on Sunday. I should have known better. The Saints only managed 293 yards and 3 points against a defense that had allowed an average of 418.5 yards and 29.8 points in their previous 4 games. TE Juwan Johnson 7/6/46/0 line only took a back seat to WR Chris Olave in the receiving game. With RB Alvin Kamara (knee) injured, Johnson becomes more important to the Saints’ offense, but a lack of scoring punch caps his ceiling. Taysom Hill had no targets, completed neither of his pass attempts, and his 10 carries netted 17 rushing yards. Counting Hill, the Saints employed five tight ends on Sunday, but only Johnson, Jack Stoll (1), and Foster Moreau (1) were targeted. The Dolphins allow the 3rd most PPR PPG to TEs at 16.8.
16. The Dolphins return from their bye week to host the Saints on Sunday. And good news: they’re opening the 21-day practice window for TE Darren Waller. If he’s available, get him. None of the other Dolphins TEs are close. You may have to wait a couple of weeks to use him, but the Week 15 and 16 games against Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are great matchups. I’d make other plans for Week 17 against Tampa Bay. The Saints allow the 16th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 13.6.
17. The Falcons got some players back on defense, and it showed in New Orleans. The offense and special teams will need to be better, as QB Kirk Cousins’ INT was returned for the only Saints’ TD, and they gave up a 75-yard kickoff return to set up a field goal try. Cousins only distributed 20 targets, but TE Kyle Pitts led the team in targets with 5. WR Drake London (knee) was out, and the targets only yielded a 2/25/0 line, but a 25% target share is promising, and their schedule from Weeks 14-17 yields the Seahawks, Buccaneers, Cardinals, and Rams; Cousins will likely need to be more active in those games. The Jets allow the 14th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 13.0.
18. First, the Falcons travel to MetLife Stadium to face the Jets, and the current forecast is cold and wet, but not windy. It’s unlikely to be a high-scoring game as the current over/under of 39.5 suggests. The Jets were game in Baltimore on Sunday, but could not generate enough offense to overcome two turnovers. TE Mason Taylor was third in targets with 5, but with only 3 receptions for 21 yards. This offense is barren with WR Garrett Wilson being on IR. The Falcons are a top-3 defense vs TEs in PPR, but in Weeks 14 & 15 they have two of the top-5 friendliest defenses in PPR: Miami and Jacksonville. The Falcons allow the 2nd fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 8.2.
19. If only the NFL let the Cardinals play their games with horseshoes instead of footballs. Losers of 8 of 9, 6 of those losses have been by 4 points or fewer, including Sunday’s tough loss against the Jaguars. TE Trey McBride has been a key beneficiary of QB Jacoby Brissett airing the ball out: since taking over from Kyler Murray in Week 6, the fewest passes Brissett has attempted is 31, and he only has two games under 40 attempts. McBride had a string of five consecutive games with at least one TD snapped in Week 12, but he still had a 10/9/79 line. In the six games Brissett has been under center, McBride has a 67/51/522/6 combined line. Those are upper-end WR numbers. The Buccaneers allow the 11th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 12.2.
20. The carcass of the Buccaneers went to SoFi Stadium on Sunday night and lost more than the game as the punishment QB Baker Mayfield has endured this season caught up to him, and he left the game at halftime with what is being called a low-grade sprain of the AC joint in his non-throwing shoulder. The only two humans I’m aware of who are bigger gluttons for punishment are Matthew Stafford and the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so if Baker can be out on the field against the Cardinals, he will be. Mayfield and backup Teddy Bridgewater combined for a 17/34/103/1/2 line with 4 sacks that reduced the net passing yards to 70. Given those numbers, TE Cade Otton’s 7/4/21/0 line is okay IRL, but terrible for fantasy. Otton also contributed to one of the Rams’ TDs in the 1st quarter when he bobbled a Mayfield pass, and CB Cobie Durant snatched the ball away and took it 50 yards for a pick-six that was charged to Mayfield. Other than the Falcons in Week 15, the Buccaneers face TE-friendly defenses down the stretch. It may not matter if WRs Chris Godwin and Mike Evans return to form, but keep your eyes open. The Cardinals allow the 8th most PPR PPG to TEs at 15.1.
21. The Rams are on a very short list of the best teams in the NFL this season. Their defense is allowing a league-best 16.3 points per game, and has allowed 2 rushing TDs in 11 games. QB Matthew Stafford has thrown for 30 TDs with only 2 (!) INTs. He has not thrown a pick since Week 3. As I’ve said in the past, the Rams employ a TE committee, and if I think a RB committee is a situation to avoid, I’m not going near a TE committee. Colby Parkinson has three straight games with a TD, so I suppose there is intrigue, but if he doesn’t get in the end zone, his floor is ~3 PPR points, and the ceiling is ~8. The schedule is TE-friendly until Week 17, but I think there are better options. Terrance Ferguson is appealing, but I won’t throw that dart in redraft until the late rounds in 2026, as he has a 12/5/138/1 line so far. The Panthers allow the 10th most PPR PPG to TEs at 14.7.
22. The Panthers looked gift horses in the mouth in Santa Clara. Brock Purdy threw 3 first-half INTs and the Panthers only managed 3 points; in fact, they gave Purdy’s first INT back to the 49ers with a QB Bryce Young INT four plays later. The Panthers only managed 12 first downs and 230 yards of offense. Of the 27 Young targets in the game, the TEs got 2: 1 each for Ja’Tavion Sanders and Mitchell Evans. I’m waving the white flag. The Rams allow the 14th most PPR PPG to TEs at 14.2.
23. The Vikings are pretty much out of the playoff hunt at 4-7 and three games behind the third-place Lions in the NFC North. QB J.J. McCarthy suffered a concussion against the Packers, and if he can’t go in Seattle, they’ll be starting undrafted rookie Max Brosmer. The starting left side of their offensive line will enter this week’s practices as questionable. This offense is an easy avoid in Week 13 even if McCarthy clears the protocol. Every single player, including TE J. Hockenson. It’s too bad because their scheduled opponents down the stretch are mostly friendly to TEs in PPR, but their own team is not. The Seahawks allow the 4th most PPR PPG to TEs at 16.8.
24. The Seahawks scored on six of their first seven drives and only allowed a field goal and a punt return TD in building a 30-10 lead with 6:40 left in the 3rd quarter in Nashville, then let their foot off the gas. WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a 40% target share, 167 of the 244 air yards, and both of QB Sam Darnold’s TD passes. Of the 15 targets and 77 air yards remaining, TE AJ Barner had 4 and 18 on 2 receptions, and he’s dominating the TE snaps lately. Elijah Arroyo had fewer than half of Barner’s snaps and was targeted only once. Seattle prefers to lean on the running game, and may be able to against the Vikings and against the Falcons in Week 14, but may have to employ the passing game more in Week 15 vs. the Colts and Week 16 vs. the Rams, both plus matchups for TEs. The Vikings allow the 11th most PPR PPG to TEs at 14.5.
25. The Bills lost their fourth game of the season on Thursday night and are now two games behind the AFC East-leading Patriots. It was also their sixth consecutive loss in Houston, and they have not won there since 2006. The Bills generated yards on offense, but after RB James Cook scored on a 45-yard run on the Bills’ first offensive possession, the offense only had two FGs; the second TD was scored on a 97-yard kickoff return by RB Ray Davis, and they could not overcome three turnovers. With Dalton Kincaid out again, the TEs (Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes) only generated a combined 6/5/43/0 line. Until Kincaid comes back, I’m staying away. The Steelers allow the 5th most PPR PPG to TEs at 16.5.
26. The Steelers had some help from the Bears to stay in the game in Chicago, but were unable to advance their final possession too far into Bears territory before turning it over on downs with 0:21 left. QB Mason Rudolph did a modest job replacing Aaron Rodgers, attempting 31 passes but only for 5.5 YPA and 171 air yards. Darnell Washington, Jonnu Smith, and Pat Freiermuth combined for an 8/8/62/0 line. Freiermuth did have Rudolph’s TD pass, but he only had 10.8 PPR points with that. We’ve had the committee conversation. The Bills allow the fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 5.5.
27. The only thing the Raiders did well yesterday was fire OC Chip Kelly after the game. On the field, QB Geno Smith was sacked 10 times and hit another 10 times by the Browns’ defense. If only they could run the ball, maybe Smith would not have to drop back 54 times against the league’s best pass rush, but they averaged 2.9 yards on 21 rushing attempts. Smith completed 30 of 44 attempts, but for only 285 air yards, which dropped to 208 net after factoring in the 77 yards lost on the sacks. TE Brock Bowers had a 9/6/55/0 line, but that won’t pay the rent. Michael Mayer left with an ankle injury in the 2nd quarter after 13 snaps and didn’t return to the game; he caught his only target for 14 yards. With Mayer out, Ian Thomas had 4 targets, catching them all for 36 yards. LT Kolton Miller was placed on IR on September 30 and is among the most-missed players in the NFL. Bowers’ upside means we keep rolling him out, but the floor is lower this season. The Chargers allow the 6th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 9.7.
28. The Chargers come out of their bye week with work to do on their patchwork offensive line. They lost LT Rashawn Slater for the season in early August, and his replacement, Joe Alt, played 6 games and is now also done for the season. RT Bobby Hart hadn’t played in the NFL since 2022 and was added to the roster in the middle of October. Other linemen have missed time. This came to a head in Week 11 in Jacksonville when QB Justin Herbert was harassed repeatedly by the Jaguars, and the Chargers managed a paltry 135 yards of offense. That’s an extreme case, but good teams deal with those. One move being considered is installing RG Jamaree Salyer at LT; Salyer covered the position in 2022 when Slater was out. And RB Omarion Hampton may get the practice window opened to activate him to the active roster by Week 16, if not sooner. TE Oronde Gadsden has been a revelation, but the downfield opportunities have dried up in recent weeks, and the near-term schedule (vs. Raiders then Eagles, at Chiefs) is among the toughest in fantasy for TEs. The Raiders allow the 5th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 9.4.
29. The Broncos return from their bye week at the Commanders. Last week, I recommended letting go of TE Evan Engram. If you didn’t listen, Washington is an okay matchup, but then they’re in Las Vegas, and I don’t recommend testing that matchup. The Commanders allow the 12th most PPR PPG to TEs at 14.3.
30. I don’t recommend the Commanders’ offensive players against the Broncos, but I suppose if you had to start one, TE Zach Ertz would be a choice: TE is the only position that the Broncos aren’t top-6 against in PPR. HC Dan Quinn has already all but ruled out QB Jayden Daniels for Week 13, and I’m not sure we’ll see more than a shade of WR Terry McLaurin if he returns. The Broncos allow the 13th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 12.7.
31. Stop me if you’ve heard this one: the Giants take an early lead, fall apart in the second half, lose. Heads have started to roll; first HC Brian Daboll two weeks ago, then DC Shane Bowen on Monday. I suppose that will happen when the defense is repeatedly unable to protect leads. The only teams allowing more PPG this season are the Cowboys and the Bengals. Interim HC Mike Kafka deserves some of the blame for this loss: with 3:19 left in the game, the Giants had the ball with 1st and goal at the Lions’ 4-yard line with a 3-point lead. The Lions had all their timeouts, and the Giants not only came away with no points, but they also threw two incomplete passes, turning the ball over on downs with 2:59 left. TE Theo Johnson was targeted on the 4th down pass that fell incomplete, part of a 5/3/77/0 line. Johnson’s got a bright future, but he’s still somewhat TD-dependent, as he’s only had three games with more than 3 receptions; on the flip side, he’s also only had 3 games with fewer than 3 receptions. Daniel Bellinger did not catch either of his 2 targets. The schedule is fairly favorable in PPR vs. TEs, but the Giants still have their bye in Week 14. The Patriots allow the 9th most PPR PPG to TEs at 15.0.
32. The Patriots won their 9th consecutive game in Cincinnati. The Pats are one of those teams that seem to do just enough to win, but winning close games is good preparation for the postseason if the team has another gear to match the intensity of the teams that will join them. TE Hunter Henry was the Hero du Jour this week, with a 10/7/115/1 line including a season high in yards and his first TD since October. Henry has finished as the TE 1 two separate weeks this season, but he also had not had a double-digit PPR game since Week 4. Austin Hooper added a 3/34/0 line on 4 targets after missing Week 11. The Patriots have a brutal schedule for TEs in PPR down the stretch, and have their bye in Week 14 to boot. The Giants allow the 11th fewest PPR PPG to TEs at 11.8.

Next week, I’ll illustrate more clearly the matchup for TEs in the final weeks of the NFL season.

These rankings are for Week 13 games ONLY. If you want to speak about them, hit me up in the COMMENTS, which is also where I will post updates after Friday practice participation reports are finalized.

These rankings are for base PPR leagues: 1 point per reception, 1 point for 10 yards rushing/receiving, 6 points per touchdown, and -2 points per fumble lost. No premiums or bonuses.

I’ll give player, player’s team, opponent this week, home or road game (H/R), day of game, time of game (early (E), late (L), or night (N)), opponent’s 2025 rank vs. tight ends, current projected team total per ESPNBET, PPR points per game (PPG), PPR scoring rank for the season (Sc Rk), and percent rostered per FantasyPros (Rost %).
