Week 12 Tight End Rankings Analysis

A new feature has been added to our weekly fantasy football rankings article. Below, you will find our fantasy football outlooks for key options in Week 12, which gives readers a matchup preview of that player and advice on whether to start or avoid for the upcoming week. We provide outlooks for all 32 NFL teams, which can be found on our player profile pages and our fantasy football news desk.

Trey McBride, TE, Arizona Cardinals
Week 12 Overall PPR Rankings: 67
Week 12 Tight End PPR Rankings: 5

Arizona Cardinal's tight end Trey McBride finished second on the team in receptions and targets in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans, showcasing his elite ability. In Week 12, Arizona will match up against the L.A. Rams, who boast the 9th best defense against the pass. Despite this, McBride should remain heavily involved in the team's passing attack, as the Rams have surprisingly struggled against opposing tight ends.

With a re-emerging Kyler Murray under center, McBride is positioned to be at or near the top of the team lead in targets and receptions once again. Due to his elite involvement in the offense, McBride projects as a solid option at the position and should be viewed as a TE1 on volume alone.

Cade Otton, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Week 12 Overall PPR Rankings: 122
Week 12 Tight End PPR Rankings: 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has finished with four or more receptions in four of his last five games. The young tight end seems to be more involved in the passing attack as the season progresses. In four of his last five contests, Otton has seen five or more targets. The problem for Otton has been extending the play and getting yards after the catch.

The good news is that Otton has a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. A defense that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Despite a good matchup, fantasy managers shouldn't consider Otton anything more than a TE2 for this Week 12 matchup.

Dalton Schultz, TE, Houston Texans
Week 12 Overall PPR Rankings: 74
Week 12 Tight End PPR Rankings: 7

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has a great matchup in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville is giving up the third most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season, making Schultz a solid option this weekend.

The 27-year-old veteran has been a strong fantasy starter this year and has scored a touchdown in five of the past seven games. He struggled against the Jaguars in Week 3 last time, catching just one pass for nine yards. But it appears now that Schultz and quarterback C.J. Stroud are finally clicking on the field.
