Week 15 fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em TE analysis from FlurrySports includes the likes of the Indianapolis Colts’ Tyler Warren.
Streaming tight ends is a very popular way to play fantasy football. When doing this, though, you are most likely choosing between a couple of players to put into that spot. I am here to help you give an idea of who to choose using players who are in positions to succeed this week. Below, we will help you make those tough decisions in that tight end grey area, discussing our Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em players!
Guys like Trey McBride and Travis Kelce are not going to be covered in this article. Those guys are must-starts no matter who they play on any given week. They are just too good of players to sit. The idea is that we are taking those players who may be sitting on your bench as number two tight ends and making the decision. Get the idea?
Now, labeling a player as a “sit” does not mean they are a must-sit player. As always, check out our weekly fantasy football rankings here. You can also become a member to join a group chat with Zach Brunner, and other members, where all fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em questions are welcomed!

Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em: Week 15 TEs
Start: Tyler Warren Fantasy Outlook vs Seattle Seahawks
After coming out of the gates hot, Tyler Warren has certainly slowed down in fantasy production in the midst of the Indianapolis Colts’ mini-collapse. Warren has not posted a top-10 tight end finish since Week 10. While this is the case, he still stands as TE4 on the season. But given the lack in production recently, I understand it being hard to roll him out in your lineup this week.
I am labeling him as a “start” in our Week 15 Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em because of Indianapolis’ matchup against the Seattle Seahawks this week. While the Seahawks have been awesome on defense, one thing that they have been vulnerable against is the tight end position. On the season, Seattle is giving up 8.9 fantasy points per game to tight ends, the third-most in the NFL. With the uncertainty at quarterback, whoever starts this week will have a nice, big and easy target in Warren to help deter that strong Seahawks pass rush.
Start: Theo Johnson Fantasy Outlook vs Washington Commanders
At this point in the season, Theo Johnson certainly has a case for one of the better pickups in fantasy football this season, as he has recorded four top-nine fantasy finishes at the position. With Jaxson Dart back healthy, Johnson has filled the role of being Dart’s safety blanket for the easy completions. With the Giants seemingly wanting to limit Dart’s rushing, when the Giants get to the red zone, it is hard to say that anyone on the team has more value than Johnson.
That brings us to this week, where Johnson and the Giants have an incredible matchup against the Washington Commanders that we can exploit. The Commanders have been really bad against the pass this season, and that is exemplified by their defense against the tight end position. On the season, the Commanders are giving up 10.1 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, which ranks as the second-most in the entire league.

Sit: Hunter Henry Fantasy Outlook vs Buffalo Bills
It seems like we have been doing this song and dance all season long with Hunter Henry, where we expect him to have a big week and then get disappointed. Then, we don’t expect it, and he scores a touchdown. There is no doubt that he is a big part of what this Patriots offense is doing as a whole and has been a great piece to continue the development of Drake Maye. The issue this week is the looming matchup against the Buffalo Bills, which seems like Stefon Diggs will be the featured guy.
The matchup against the Bills spells trouble for not only Henry and the Patriots, but also any team that was looking to use their tight end against Buffalo. On the season, the Bills are giving up just 3.6 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, which ranks as the fewest in the entire NFL. They have given up just 441 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns all season long. Given that this is a revenge game for Diggs, I would imagine he gets the first crack at touchdown opportunities for the Patriots in this one.
Sit: Dallas Goedert Fantasy Outlook vs Las Vegas Raiders
In a similar vein to Hunter Henry, it feels like we are doing this song and dance all season long regarding Dallas Goedert as well. After three stinker weeks in a row, Goedert finished as TE8 last week against a good Chargers defense. That was due to Goedert’s eight receptions, the second-most of the season. As it always with Goedert, moving forward, it will be hard to project his usage given that he is the fifth option, at best, in the offense behind Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown, Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith.
This week features a very tough matchup for Dallas Goedert, as the Las Vegas Raiders have played surprisingly well against the tight end position this season. The Raiders are surrendering just 4.4 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. That includes giving up just 487 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns this season. This feels like a game where Barkley can finally get going, so there is probably not a big need for Goedert to have a big game this week.
