Week 12 fantasy TE rankings: Best starts at tight end

Show Caption

It used to be that rookie tight ends were never difference-makers because it took them too long to learn the playbook in the pros. That hasn't been the case the past few years though.

Leading the way this season is Las Vegas Raiders rookie Brock Bowers, who hauled in 13 passes for 126 yards and a score last week in Miami. He's the No. 2 tight end on the season in fantasy, behind only San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 12 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

ON BYE: Atlanta, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, New Orleans, New York Jets
