Week 15 Tight End Rankings Outlooks
Hunter Henry, New England Patriots
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been playing well lately, catching 15 passes for 233 yards and one touchdown over his last three games. However, he'll face a very tough test in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025, as well as the fewest catches, the fewest receiving touchdowns, and the second-fewest receiving yards.
In his last game against the Bills, Henry was held to just two catches for 46 yards. Not only does Henry have an extremely challenging matchup on tap, but he'll also lose key opportunities as New England continues to do a good job spreading the ball around. TreVeyon Henderson, Rhamondre Stevenson, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and Kayshon Boutte should all compete for sizable volume in Week 15, making it tougher for Henry to overcome this difficult matchup. He ranks as the overall TE12 in the latest RotoBaller rankings, and he has an even lower floor. He should be benched in fantasy leagues with 12 or fewer teams.
Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange should lean on a lackluster Jets defense in Week 15 and return to the top end of the TE leaderboard. The 6-foot-4 Strange was the half-PPR TE5 in both Weeks 12 and 13 after missing five games due to a hip injury, but faltered with only 5.7 points last week, coming up just short of a touchdown. Strange would see six targets on the day, matching his average opportunity in '25.
In fact, over the last three weeks, his 165 yards are fifth-best among TEs, and no other TE in the top 12 has an average depth of target above 10 in that span (his is 10.2). The Jets have tightened up on defense against the position lately, yet the seven TDs allowed to TEs is still a bottom-10 mark. Few others can boast a healthy red-zone role and a downfield presence for fantasy managers, making Strange a deserving top-10 option at TE.
Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens
Across 10 games so far this season, Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely has recorded 22 receptions for 248 yards and a touchdown on 31 targets. While his full-season numbers don't jump off the page, the 25-year-old appears to be trending upwards. Over his last two games, Likely has hauled in nine catches for 124 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets.
If not for an ill-fated fumble at the goal line in Week 13 and a questionable call on a dropped touchdown in Week 14, Likely might have three scores over the last two weeks. Given veteran tight end Mark Andrews' (glute) presence in Baltimore, Likely's playing time usually has a defined ceiling.
However, Andrews popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a glute injury heading into Baltimore's Week 15 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. If Andrews is facing any sort of missed time, Likely would immediately emerge as a high-upside starting tight end option for fantasy managers.
