Speaking of Thanksgiving tight ends – there are a few TE injuries to watch in the coming week, and it starts with Austin Hooper (knee), whose Falcons play in the nightcap Thursday (Update: Hooper is officially out for Thursday night’s game). His initial timeline suggests we’ll still be waiting a bit longer to see him back on the field. Evan Engram (foot) could be closer to a return, and the Giants don’t play until Sunday. In a friendly tight end matchup with Green Bay, an Engram absence would thrust either Rhett Ellison (if he’s back from concussion) or Kaden Smith into a potential role as a DFS sleeper. (Update: Engram and Ellison are officially out.)

WEEK 13 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | D/ST | Kicker

For those of you just catching up on news as the holiday season starts to take over your lives: The Colts have placed Eric Ebron (ankle) on Injured Reserve. He can be dropped in all non-keeper formats. The absence of Ebron should mean an increase in red-zone targets for Jack Doyle, who becomes a top-20 tight end the rest of the way. In deeper leagues, Mo Alie-Cox moves in play because Indianapolis should continue to run a lot of its two-TE sets.

The best part of Week 13, besides all the turkey and pie, is that bye weeks are over. Any of you who’ve relied on a star tight end all season can probably just do so the rest of the way. Those of you who need a streamer to sneak into the fantasy playoffs came to the right place.

WEEK 13 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end

For a totally unowned sleeper option, you could go with Jacksonville’s Nick O’Leary against Tampa Bay, the second-worst defense against fantasy tight ends. David Njoku (wrist) might be back for the Browns. (Update: Njoku is out.) Ryan Griffin gets another good matchup, this time traveling to Cincinnati coming off another touchdown catch in Week 12. Dallas Goedert gets to face the Dolphins, and of course, there’s also the aforementioned Knox. Enjoy your Thanksgiving, and we’ll be rooting for you to make your fantasy playoffs.
