Is there a bigger wasteland position than tight end? We might as well be starting fullbacks half the time. But if you are struggling, start Conklin.
This feels like Mark Andrew’s week. No particular reason other than he scored a TD along with 65 yards in the last debacle against the Browns, and the Ravens have to do better this time, right? Right? Shut up Padme.
Gronk is looking absolutely unstoppable right now, and even against the Bills I think he finishes TE2.
I’ve got Waller at TE5 betting he plays. I could get burned on that but I doubt he misses two weeks in a row. Dude is tough.
I’ve got Conklin all the way down at TE10 but this season, 65 scoreless yards is probably good for top 7. If you have Gesicki or Goedert on bye he’s the best fill in you’re going to get.
Honestly I weep for Pitts. No first-round rookie has gotten a rawer deal this year other than Trevor Lawrence. I can’t wait to see what he can do with a real QB. Maybe Rodgers would like some southern hospitality next season?
Only other name worth mentioning is Cole Kmet, and if that doesn’t speak to how boring this position has gotten nothing will. On to the week 14 tight end rankings.
