Roster management is the single most crucial in-season task for fantasy football managers. Knowing which players to let go is as important as adding the right guys.
Which tight ends find themselves on our Week 14 fantasy football cut list based on roster percentages from Yahoo? We take a closer look below.
If you’re looking for all other positions, head over to our Week 14 Fantasy Cut List, which covers quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end.
Cole Kmet, TE, Chicago Bears (46%)
Ever since the Chicago Bears moved on from Shane Waldron as offensive coordinator, Cole Kmet has been the clear primary tight end. He’s on the field and running routes. So, if you want to roll the dice on him, you can. But you don’t need to.
Kmet still hasn’t really done much recently. He’s caught three passes or fewer in three of his last four. Only his 13.4 fantasy points against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12 were helpful for fantasy managers.
The Bears’ remaining schedule consists exclusively of teams that defend the tight end well. Kmet is not a must-roster player.
Cade Otton, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (82%)
The entirety of Cade Otton’s fantasy value stemmed from Mike Evans and Chris Godwin going down. Baker Mayfield had no one else to throw to. With Evans back, Otton has returned to being an afterthought.
Since Evans returned, Otton has scored a total of 10 fantasy points across two games. His most recent dud came against the No. 32 team at defending tight ends. If he can’t pop against the Carolina Panthers, then his matchup clearly doesn’t matter. It was a great run, but now it’s over.
Taysom Hill, TE, New Orleans Saints (71%)
This one is a massive bummer. Taysom Hill is such a fun player. He’s truly one of a kind. Now, at 34 years old, there’s a decent chance he never returns to his same level of athleticism.
Hill tore his ACL in the Saints’ loss to the Rams. It’s the worst possible ending for the best season of the gadget man’s career. We can only hope he’s able to make it back and still be effective. Obviously, he can be dropped in fantasy leagues.
