Fantasy Football TE Rankings Week 13 for PPR Leagues (2024)
The 2024 fantasy football season is on to Week 13. With that comes another round of fantasy football TE rankings and tiers. During last week’s matchups, we saw a TE1 overall performance from Trey McBride despite him still not having a touchdown all season. We also saw a second consecutive 20+ point performance from Jonnu Smith, George Kittle dominating no matter who his quarterback is, and Noah Gray outscoring Travis Kelce for a second game in a row. We’ll take a look at which tight ends can finish as top 12 options in Week 13.
Below, you will find my top 12 fantasy football TE rankings and tiers to get you ready for Week 13 in the NFL. Each week, I’ll separate them into tiers along with my “Start of the Week”.

Week 13 Fantasy Football TE Rankings: Start of the Week
Dallas Goedert at Baltimore Ravens
With wide receiver DeVonta Smith questionable to play this week, I’m making Dallas Goedert of the Philadelphia Eagles my Week 13 start of the week. Smith missed last week’s game, a run-heavy win for the Eagles, that saw Goedert finish with a 23% target share. The young wide receiver also missed a Week 4 matchup against Tampa Bay that saw Goedert finish as a top 6 TE on the week. Ultimately, Goedert is elevated to a huge part of this passing game with Smith out of the lineup.
The Week 13 opponent of the Eagles, the Baltimore Ravens, are bottom 12 against tight ends and are a top 5 matchup when schedule adjusted, per our free fantasy football tool, the D-PAC Score. In short, this free fantasy football tool lets you know which matchups are good or bad on paper. With two elite offenses, we should see significantly more passing volume for the Eagles and their veteran tight end this week.
Look for Goedert to bounce back from a poor fantasy performance last week in a plus matchup. The SDSU product slides in as a low-end TE1 in my top 12 fantasy football TE rankings and tiers for Week 13.
