Week 12 Notes
Scott Chandler is the top tight end matchup of the week? Yep. The Bills-Jets game will not be at the North Pole, so the players are back on the radar. Not that Chandler is more than a TE12-15 option, but in the matchup mix.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Clay Harbor, and John Carlson finish out the top matchup plays of the week. Not a stellar week.
Jason Witten and Larry Donnell have good matchups as well placing them in the mid-TE1 range.
The Jaguars are a neutral efficiency matchup for the red-hot Coby Fleener as the Colts offense are all strong plays. Fleener is also dirt-cheap on most DFS sites.
The Dolphins have been getting better and better against tight ends this season and a limited Julius Thomas or Jacob Tamme gets them this week.
Antonio Gates, Owen Daniels, Jimmy Graham, Delanie Walker, and Jared Cook are relevant names with tough matchups as well.
