Week 13 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Brent Celek and More Must-Start TEs

Every one of these tight ends is in the midst of a hot streak. In fantasy, that's the most important thing, especially this time of the year.ย 

All of these players are available in far too many leagues, given the hot streaks they have been on.ย 

Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's not, but Celek has done quite well since Vince Young replaced anย injuredย Michael Vick. Over the last two weeks, Celek has 11 catches and 135 yards receiving.ย 

In a short week, it's hard to think that Vick will play. If he does, logic says that he'll be looking for shorter routes, which benefits Celek.ย 

In a PPR league, Celek's numbers over the last few weeks have been huge. In a non-PPR league, they have been reliable.ย 

Keep one other thing in mind: None of those totals include a touchdown. If he finds the end zone once, he's a genuine fantasy monster.

Scott Chandler

For much of the season, Chandler was nothing by a touchdown vulture. If he didn't score, you were lucky to get more than about 20 yards of production from him.

Fortunately, that's changed in recent weeks. Chandler has put up respectable points totals for owners in recent weeks without scoring a touchdown.

Chandler's still a strong option to get touchdowns. The Bills offense has scuffled in recent weeks, but that doesn't mean that a player or two can't bring in good numbers.

Jermaine Gresham

Quietly, Gresham is in the middle of a fine season. His four catches and 23-yard performance against the Steelers wasn't great, but he did find his way to the end zone against Pittsburgh.

Generally speaking, if your tight end finds the end zone, he'll be a good point producer for you. Gresham has done a lot of that this season.ย 

Even though the Steelers defense is one of the best in the league, I like Cincinnati's chances of putting up a decent performance.ย 

Gresham will be a big part of that.
