Fantasy Football 2016 Tight End Rankings: Week 12
Travis Kelce
There’s not a lot of separation at the top of the fantasy tight end rankings for Week 12. Any of the top six could make a case for being No. 1.
Once again, one of the main things to keep an eye on at the position entering this week is the health of Rob Gronkowski. Will he back after missing last week, and if so how effective will he be? Ranking him third may be a bit optimistic but that’s more a nod to how valuable Gronk is when he plays. Obviously his status directly affects how to view Martellus Bennett.
With no teams on bye, fantasy owners should have no trouble finding someone to play, although Zach Miller owners will have to look elsewhere. Some under-the-radar options that could pay off big this week include Will Tye, Dennis Pitta and Ladarius Green.
