The Eagles, Chiefs and Jaguars will likely bench their starters, but in a weird twist of fate, that’s actually a good, bad, and neutral thing for TEs. First, the good thing is the Eagles will likely rest Zach Ertz (not good for Ertz-owners), but both Trey Burton and Brent Celek have shined when Ertz doesn’t play. That’s two new streamers possibilties out of the blue. For now, we list Ertz in the rankings, but we’ve ranked both Burton and Celek as if Ertz isn’t there. If news comes out about the Eagles resting Ertz, we’ll just take him out. However, Kelce being rested is bad since Demetrius Harris isn’t a viable replacement, even against the weak Broncos, and Marcedes Lewis is like he is always, dependent on the matchup, and the matchup (@ Titans) isn’t that good this week.
There is one injuy to check up on, and that’s Evan Engram (ribs). It’s likely the Giants, completely out of the playoff picture, would just shut down their stud rookie TE and call it a solid season for him. We’ve kept him on the rankings for now, but be wary of that possibility. Despite the great matchup, Rhett Ellison still isn’t worth a starting spot if Engram is out. Streamer-wise, Vernon Davis (@ Giants) and Antonio Gates (vs. Raiders) rise into the top-10 this week, Eric Ebron (vs. Packers) and Burton (@ Giants) fall just outside.
