Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet: Tight End Rankings Week 15
For most fantasy leagues Week 15 is semifinals week, and has been the case most of this season, trying to figure out which tight end to play is not an easy decision. That doesn’t mean there aren’t “locks,” as studs like Travis Kelce, Tyler Eifert and Jimmy Graham all have excellent matchups this week. But not everyone is fortunate to own one of them.
As for the rest of the field, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Martellus Bennett finally had a good game, but this week he’s in Denver against the Broncos. Zach Ertz has been pretty steady lately, but the Eagles are matched up against the Ravens. Baltimore may have gotten torched by Tom Brady on Monday night, but otherwise the Ravens have been pretty solid on defense.
And then there’s Jordan Reed. Can you really trust him in a week with so much on the line?
