Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em Week 12: Tight end rankings
Here's another round of fantasy football tight end rankings. Although tight ends aren't the most lucrative players to help churn out points for fantasy owners, they can still tip the scales in favor of close games and fantasy managers that have good tight end matchups.
Week 11 fantasy football tight end rankings: Start 'Em
Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns
The Baltimore Ravens got a much-needed week off, and they are facing divisional rival Cleveland Browns this week. The Browns defense has lost a step and shouldn't be vicious this week either. The Browns defense is currently giving up the 3rd highest touchdowns to tight ends.
He’s the highest-graded TE for a reason.
MARK ANDREWS 🤯

Andrews should be a viable option this week as the Ravens look to expand their role as a receiver given the fact that other offensive players might still be out. Hopefully, Jackson is ready to go. If Marquise Brown remains out, expect Andrews to get a lot of attention and goal-line touchdowns.
Noah Fant, Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Chargers
The Broncos got a much-needed rest after suffering a lopsided loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. They are taking on their division rivals. The good news is the Chargers are one of the worst defenses against tight ends.
They currently surrender an average of 11 points per game and have surrendered nine touchdowns to tight ends through Week 11. They also allow 0.9 TDs on average, so expect Noah Fant to be heavily targeted in this game. Fant picked up 60 yards against the Eagles but expects a much better number this week.
Dalton Shultz, Dallas Cowboys vs. Las Vegas Raiders
The short week will affect both teams heading into Thanksgiving games. However, the Raiders remain one of the worst teams when attempting to defend against tight ends. Schult could be a good option, being that Dak Prescott will likely play with a huge chip on his shoulder.
