Week 15 NFL Fantasy Football: Top Tight End Rankings and Streaming Options
Trey McBride, George Kittle, Mark Andrews, and Jake Ferguson are must-start tight ends for Week 15, while Brock Bowers and Dalton Schultz offer compelling streaming options, and Dallas Goedert is a recommended fade.
Must-Start Tight Ends for Week 15
Trey McBride is the headliner this week. The Cardinals tight end is projected for 14.7 points facing the Texans, who have consistently struggled to defend the position. McBride has established himself as a red-zone threat and remains central to Arizona's offensive scheme.
George Kittle deserves a spot in your lineup as San Francisco takes on Tennessee. The Titans have allowed steady production to tight ends all season, and Kittle continues to deliver reliable numbers week after week.
Mark Andrews is an automatic start against Cincinnati. One of Lamar Jackson's most trusted weapons, Andrews should command significant target volume in this matchup.
Jake Ferguson rounds out the elite tier as Dallas faces Minnesota. Ferguson has proven himself a dependable pass-catcher for the Cowboys and should remain heavily involved against a Vikings defense that has allowed consistent tight end production throughout the season.
Streaming Options and Sleepers
Brock Bowers offers compelling upside as the Raiders meet Philadelphia. The Eagles have been vulnerable to tight end production, and Bowers has quickly become a centerpiece of Las Vegas' passing attack.
Dalton Schultz presents another viable streaming play. The Texans face Arizona—a defense that has struggled against tight ends—and Schultz should find consistent opportunities.
Pat Freiermuth warrants monitoring in deeper leagues as Pittsburgh takes on Miami. With George Pickens sidelined, Freiermuth has seen increased volume and has posted at least 9.0 PPR points in three straight games, including touchdowns in consecutive weeks.
Hunter Henry belongs in the streaming conversation. The Patriots' tight end has scored at least 9.4 PPR points in three consecutive games and remains a dependable red-zone target against Buffalo.
Week 15 Busts to Avoid
Dallas Goedert is a fade this week. He faces a Vikings defense ranked among the toughest for opposing tight ends, and Goedert has battled injuries while failing to deliver consistent output.
Tyler Warren should be avoided as Pittsburgh meets Seattle. The Seahawks have been strong against tight ends, consistently limiting fantasy production at the position.
