Week 13 Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em TEs feat. Taysom Hill, Trey McBride, Kyle Pitts, Mike Gesicki

Finding the right tight ends to start in fantasy football each week can be challenging, but favorable options always exist. Managers would be wise to break down their weekly matchups and assess recent performances in order to determine who to start. Here are some of the best targets and fades for Week 13 of the 2024 fantasy football season.

Fantasy Football Week 13 TEs Start 'Em picks

Week 13 starts

Taysom Hill has been on an absolute tear for the New Orleans Saints in recent weeks. He has finished among the top five weekly tight ends three times in his past five games, including a TE1 finish last week when he scored three touchdowns. His role in New Orleans' offensive gameplan seems to be expanding and he also gets a favorable Week 13 matchup at home against the Los Angeles Rams.

He is joined by Trey McBride, who has been one of the most consistently productive tight ends this season. He has finished among the top ten weekly tight ends six times in ten games on his way to being ranked as the overall TE4 this year. He also has a favorable matchup in Week 13 when he faces off against a struggling Minnesota Vikings passing defense.

Fantasy Football Week 13 TEs Sit 'Em picks

Week 13 sits

Kyle Pitts is having another frustrating, inconsistent fantasy football season. While he currently ranks as the overall TE12 this year, he has recorded three or fewer receptions in seven of his 11 games and has only scored a touchdown in two of them. He has also finished outside of the top 40 weekly tight ends in two of his past three games, making him a fade against the Los Angeles Chargers' defense as he trends in the wrong direction.

There was a time when Mike Gesicki appeared to be one of the breakout stars of the 2024 fantasy football season, but his value has diminshed since Tee Higgins returned to the Cincinnati Bengals' lineup. Gesicki has totaled just four receptions for 30 yards across his past two games, so he should be avoided against the Pittsburgh Steelers with Higgins expected to play this week.
