Week 15 Tight End Outlooks For Fantasy Football

Hunter Henry, New England Patriots - Fantasy Football Outlook

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has returned from the bye week and is a relevant fantasy option once again for Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. Henry has been the overall TE10 since Drake Maye took over at quarterback.

The veteran has emerged as one of Maye's favorite targets, and that's a valuable connection to have in an offense that must throw the football to stay competitive in games. This week, Henry faces the Cardinals, who have allowed the fifth-fewest touchdowns to opposing tight ends in 2024.

They've also allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to the position, but their ability to reduce touchdown opportunities is largely baked into that total. A player like Henry, who has been a top-12 fantasy tight end despite scoring just one touchdown this season, should continue to be a dependable option in Week 15.

- Andersen Pickard, RotoBaller

Stone Smartt, Los Angeles Chargers - Fantasy Football Outlook

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt is set to take over the starting role in a Week 15 game against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Smartt took over in the second half last week after starter Will Dissly (shoulder) was forced to leave the game.

With Dissly still recovering, Smartt will be the starter in at least Week 15 from the first snap of the game. Last week, in the second half, Smartt saw a 25% target share and put up three catches for 54 yards. More importantly, it was clear that the Chargers had faith in him as a pass catcher on critical plays.

This week, he gets a nice soft landing against a Bucs defense that has allowed the second-most receiving yards to opposing tight ends. Smartt was one of the more popular waiver wire grabs this week, and he finds himself near the top of TE2 rankings with some nice touchdown upside.

- David A. Marcillo, RotoBaller

Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers - Fantasy Football Outlook

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been a solid fantasy tight end for much of the season and looks to keep that run going as the Packers face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Kraft has put together three straight double-digit fantasy performances, including last week against the Lions where he scored a touchdown on three catches for 41 yards.

With seven touchdown grabs this season, Kraft is tied with Mark Andrews for second in touchdowns among tight ends, only behind George Kittle. With Kraft getting in the end zone and earning some consistent volume for the Packers, Kraft is plenty startable in Week 15 for fantasy managers.

- Kevin Tomkins, RotoBaller
