The Top TEs To Start in Week 14
Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers (at NYG)
Analysis by Derek Tate | The expanded role for Tucker Kraft continued against the Chiefs on Sunday night. Kraft hauled in three of his six targets for 37 yards, which is encouraging in comparison to his two receptions on just targets for 15 yards in Week 12.
It could have been an even bigger fantasy performance last week had Love simply elected to throw to the wide-open Kraft as opposed to his other TE — Ben Sims — for an easy score from one yard out.
Look for Kraft to build off of an encouraging Week 13 outing heading into their matchup against the Giants.
Gerald Everett, Los Angeles Chargers (vs. DEN)
Analysis by Jason Katz | Over the past two weeks, Gerald Everett has been about as consistent as possible. He’s played exactly 64% of the snaps in both games, caught exactly four passes, and totaled 43 and 44 receiving yards, respectively. Two weeks ago, he even scored.
Everett should be good enough for a solid six to eight fantasy points as a floor. That’s not bad for a tight end this season, but this week, there may be an actual upside.
The Denver Broncos allow 16.1 points per game to tight ends — the most in the league. Opponents know they struggle against the tight end, so they throw to the position 25.4% of the time, the third-highest rate in the league. In fact, 28.1% of the Broncos total receiving yards allowed have gone to tight ends.

With the Chargers lacking a clear second option in the passing game behind WR Keenan Allen, for at least one week, it could be Everett.
