Tight End Outlook Week 15

Eric Ebron (TE4) put up just 7.0 points this past Sunday night, his lowest output in over a month. With that said, the Steelers offense as a whole struggled. A matchup with Cincinnati this week should help elevate their production. Ebron has totaled a whopping 27 targets over his last three games, while his 11.2 ppg since Week 7 are the fourth-most among TEs in the NFL. Over the last two weeks, the Bengals have allowed 22.15 ppg to the position (3rd-most in NFL).

According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins are gearing up to lose the services of Mike Gesicki (TE10) for “at least one game and possibly more” with a shoulder injury. A crushing blow for both Miami’s offense and fantasy owners, as Gesicki has been one of the most prolific scorers at his position over the past two weeks, averaging 23.7 ppg (TE3).

Yes, Jimmy Graham vultured a TD, but Cole Kmet (TE11) is the clear-cut TE1 in Chicago. Kmet’s 51 snaps this past Sunday outpaced every Bears skill player, including David Montgomery and Allen Robinson. He’s now seen seven targets in each of the past two weeks and gets an intriguing matchup with the Vikings this Sunday. Minnesota has allowed 12 opposing TEs this year to record 40-plus yards and/or score a TD.
