Wild Card Tight End Value Rankings
Here are theScore's tight end value rankings for Wild Card Weekend:
Value Rankings
QB | RB | WR | TE
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Jordan Reed (WAS) | vs. GB | 9 |
| Tyler Eifert (CIN) | vs. PIT | 8 |
It's a long way down from Reed and Eifert to the rest of the tight ends in this post. Reed earns top billing as Kirk Cousins' favorite target; he has become virtually matchup-proof, and should see double-digit targets against the Packers. Eifert is also a solid volume play against the Steelers.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Heath Miller (PIT) | at CIN | 6 |
| Travis Kelce (KC) | at HOU | 5 |
| Richard Rodgers (GB) | at WAS | 5 |
Miller caught 10 passes in each of Pittsburgh's meetings with Cincinnati, but his lack of consistency lowers both his floor and ceiling. Kelce will be in tough against a rugged Texans pass defense. Rodgers is a boom-or-bust option, and busts more often than not.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Kyle Rudolph (MIN) | vs. SEA | 3 |
| Ryan Griffin (HOU) | vs. KC | 2 |
| Chase Coffman (SEA) | at MIN | 1 |
Rudolph has a good matchup, but has underwhelmed for most of the season; fade him, as well as Griffin and Coffman.
