Rankings: Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End
Is Kelce Done? Honestly it’s hard to believe this is even a discussion, but he’s trending the same direction as the entire KC team – downward. But I’m not willing to count him out in my tight end rankings this week.
Pitts is a risky bet this week against New Orleans who has been shutting down opposing QBs, and Ryan frankly turned in a geriatric performance last week against lesser competition. Still impossible to sit the freak athlete but temper expectations.
The best TE play this week might be Mike Gesicki, going against the 4th softest defense against tight ends this year in Houston, and Tua finally has the trade rumors no longer swirling around him, at least for now.
On to the tight end rankings.
