Well, the tight end group as a whole is not exactly carrying fantasy. Surprisingly, New England Patriots tight end Tim Wright and Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker were the only two on Sunday to post-double-digit fantasy points in standard leagues.
Fantasy football waiver wire: 5 tight ends to target for Week 13
Tight end has been a fantasy wasteland. What is a fantasy owner to do?
If you started Walker, you gave yourself a huge advantage last week. The tight end landscape has been a disaster for the entire season, and Denver Broncos tight end Julius Thomas not playing on Sunday made the position even more pointless.
Basically, the only tight ends worth grabbing are stash candidates. If you have to cut a player with value, it probably makes sense considering that most trade deadlines have past.
Jordan Cameron, Cleveland Browns (owned in 46 percent of leagues) -- He was getting close to returning on Sunday for Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons, so you'd think he could return for Week 13. A lot of fantasy owners have justifiably cut him loose and he is readily available despite being selected as a top-five tight end in several formats. The Browns have a decent schedule on the horizon and Cameron is much better than any other potential option. Give him a look if you need help.
Dwayne Allen, Indianapolis Colts (owned in 65 percent of leagues) -- Coby Fleener was a disappointment on Sunday and only had two fantasy points. It's pretty obvious that Allen is the better talent and he's put up better numbers while the two are out there together. Allen is not going to have much of an upside, so he's more of a TE12-15 the rest of the way. Plus, he's not healthy.

Charles Clay, Miami Dolphins (owned in 50 percent of leagues) -- He did not play on Sunday and the Dolphins really missed him. Of course, the emergence of receiver Jarvis Landry is going to really hurt Clay's targets in the slot. He is only an option in two-TE leagues.
Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota Vikings (owned in 47 percent of leagues) -- Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is awful, but he's going to need a short-yardage guy. He's worth a look as a low-upside guy.
Tim Wright, New England Patriots (owned in 15 percent of leagues) - Sunday was a fluke with his two scores. He'll likely disappear even in a shootout with the Green Bay Packers.
