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 15 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 15 Fantasy Cut List, which covers quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end.
Kyle Pitts | ATL (83%)
Kyle Pitts is another name with a roster percentage that is shockingly high. If you started Pitts every game this season, you were thrilled with his output a total of two times. You were likely fine with his output another three times. He was a gaping hole in your lineup the other eight times.
Over his past five games, Pitts has scored below 2.5 fantasy points a staggering four times. He was kind enough to throw in a 9.5-point performance in his other game. I simply ask what are we waiting for? It can’t get any worse.
Cade Otton | TB (80%)
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 posted games of 4.0, 6.0, and 10.0 fantasy points (impressive that he’s landed on whole numbers in three straight games).
While 10 points is a serviceable total, he had an anomalous 44-yard reception against the Raiders. His other seven receptions over the past three weeks have totaled 76 yards. You can do better.
Dallas Goedert | PHI (64%)
My least favorite players to include on the cut list are the ones that don’t deserve to be here. Dallas Goedert’s play did nothing to warrant his removal from fantasy rosters. Unfortunately, he is currently on IR with a knee injury.
Goedert’s season is not over, but we won’t see him again during the regular season. Therefore, he can be released from fantasy rosters.
Cole Kmet, TE | CHI (51%)
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 four of his last five. 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. Against the 49ers, Kmet wasn’t targeted at all. He is impossible to trust.
