Week 12 Fantasy Football TE Rankings: Start of the Week
Jonnu Smith vs. New England Patriots
Last week’s two-touchdown performance was the best of the year for Jonnu Smith. The veteran tight end tied his season high with eight targets and now has six or more targets in five of his past six games. Smith has become a huge part of the Miami Dolphins offense with Jaylen Waddle underwhelming and Tyreek Hill battling a wrist injury that could lead to 0ffseason surgery, per NFL.com.
The Dolphin’s Week 12 opponent, the New England Patriots, are middle of the pack against tight ends but are a top 12 matchup when schedule adjusted, per our free fantasy football tool, the D-PAC Score. Look for another big performance this week from Smith as he continues to be a huge part of the offense in a plus matchup. The Dolphin’s tight end ranks firmly in my top 12 rankings and tiers for Week 12.
