Fantasy Football Start 'Em and Sit 'Em: Week 14 tight end predictions
By Ryne Degroot
Anyone who has played fantasy football knows that tight end position is the hardest to gauge unless you have Travis Kelce. It is a pretty steep drop-off for the position after him. Here is my week 14 start 'em and sit 'em
Week 14 Tight Ends Start 'Em
Isaiah Likely vs. Los Angeles Rams
Likely has a juicy matchup this week as he takes on one of the worst defenders of the tight end in the Rams. The Rams are allowing an average of 5.08 receptions, 60.5 yards per week, and .5 a TD a week to tight ends. We all know how much Lamar loves his tight ends.
In Likely's first game without Andrews he drew 6 targets for 4 receptions and 40 yards, good for 8 fantasy points. I expect the same volume this week against the Rams and if he can get into the end zone it could have huge implications on getting someone's fantasy team into the playoffs.
Jake Ferguson vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Like Lamar, Dak Prescott also loves his tight end position and it has shown this year with his use of Ferguson. He ranks 9th for all tight ends in scoring, pretty good for a guy who was getting drafted in the last few rounds of drafts. I expect Ferguson to continue where he left off last week and put up relevant fantasy numbers in week 14.
The Eagles are the 14th worst against the TE and this is going to be a shootout, so there will be tons of targets for Ferguson in this one. In his last game against the Eagles he had 7 catches on 9 targets for 91 yards and a TD.
Week 14 Tight Ends Sit 'Em
Evan Engram vs Browns
Engram is a sit for me this week, going against one of the toughest defenses in the league against the TE and also having the possibility of having C.J. Beathard throwing him the ball in Week 14, it is just not a good matchup for him all around.
Dalton Kincaid vs Chiefs
Kincaid has cooled off since his stellar run of averaging 15.16 points from Weeks 7-11. He had quite the run I am not gonna a lie and if you have no one else I would say start him. But this week he plays the Chiefs who are the 5th best against tight ends, allowing an average of 3.92 receptions, 36.92 yards, and .25 touchdowns a week to tight ends. I just don't see Kincaid doing much in this game.
