Fantasy Football Week 13 Tight End Preview: Best to stand by your man this week if he's active
Don't ditch those struggling tight ends just yet.

1 min read
Week 12 was once again a disaster for the tight end position. Goerge Kittle, Dallas Goedert, and Kyle Pitts, we terrible. But I'm going right back to them again.
While there are some promising streamers this week, I'm mostly sticking with any starting tight end who didn't get injured last week. We've just seen it time and time again with a position this fragile; if you go chasing weekly scoring, you're bound to get burnt. Besides, Goedert gets the Jets, Pitts faces a Tampa Bay defense he scored 12 points against earlier this year, and Kittle will be without Deebo Samuel.
There's reason for optimism for basically all the tight ends who struggled last week, even Noah Fant. But if you must make a move due to injury or impatience, we have streamers below. Just know their floor is as low as the struggles you're trying to get away from.
Here's everything else you need to know about tight end in Week 13:

Week 13 Streamers
This should be the last week of Logan Thomas in this section. He projects as a top-12 option this week and rest of season.
| ||||||||||||||||||
Everett could be in trouble if Russell Wilson ever remembers that he plays with DK Metcalf. Until then, he's a borderline top 12 tight end.
| ||||||||||||||||||
Moreau scored 18 Fantasy points in his last game without Waller, so there is some significant upside here.

Kittle was miserable last week but the absence of Deebo Samuel should ensure a monster target share in Week 13.

Goedert is still due for a two-touchdown game before the season ends, and the Jets don't offer much resistance to the position. But at the very least, he should bounce back to the six for 60 range he's lived in most of the year.
