Fantasy Football Tight End Waiver Wire Targets for Week 13: Hunter Henry, Colston Loveland, Brenton Strange and More

It's time for another fantasy football waiver wire story, this time on tight ends.

We have already covered quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers here at FantasySP. Be looking for even more waiver stories over the next day or so.

Check out fantasy football waiver wire targets all season on FantasySP. 

Should You Add Hunter Henry?

Henry has the top fantasy score among tight ends heading into the Monday night game.

He took advantage of a good matchup and posted 115 yards and a score on seven receptions and 10 targets in week 12.

Henry has had several good fantasy showings over the course of the year, and on a good offense, I think he's been a bit overlooked as a fantasy asset. He won't be after this past week.

He will have an extra day off before facing the Giants on Monday night in week 13. It's a below-average matchup, but after what Henry has done this season, I have enough faith in him to fire him up in any league type.

He might be a safer deep-league starting option, but he's certainly on the standard league radar as well. Check back to FantasySP to see where I have him ranked amongst tight ends.

Should You Add Colston Loveland?

Loveland had another good showing in week 12, going for 49 yards and a touchdown on four receptions and five targets.

He has been at or over seven PPR points in four straight games. While it doesn't sound like much, at a weak fantasy TE spot, that's pretty solid.

He'll be put to the test in week 13, as he will face the Eagles on Friday. Philly is the second-toughest fantasy test for a tight end.

Loveland has done enough of late to still earn deep-league starts, but standard leagues owners are going to debate whether or not to play him all week.

It'll be interesting to see where he ranks in my tight end rankings for week 13, and how willing I'd be to test the rookie in a very tough matchup.

At the very least, he's still not a bad stash in all fantasy leagues after the positive trend he's been on.

Should You Add Brenton Strange?

Strange got back on the field this week and delivered a great fantasy score. He caught all five of his targets for 93 yards. Strange has the No. 4 PPR score among tight ends, and that's great considering he didn't find the end zone.

Strange was a solid fantasy asset early in the season, but is available in a ton of leagues after missing several weeks. He could be a massive pickup for fantasy teams who have been struggling at tight end all season.

He's not only worth adding in deeper leagues, but he's also worth adds in standard leagues too, even if it's just as a secondary tight end, or a weekly flex option.

In week 13, Strange will be taking on the Titans. Tennessee is a very tough fantasy matchup on paper, but after how he looked in week 12, I'd be happy to add and start Strange in a lot of fantasy leagues.

Should You Add Colby Parkinson?

Parkinson scored a touchdown for a third straight game, but did enough else to post a top-five fantasy TE score (to this point of week 12).

He had 41 yards and the touchdown on four catches and targets.

He's scored nine or more fantasy points in three straight games. But if you take away the touchdowns, he's been a single-digit fantasy scorer in each of those weeks, and for every other game this season.

Parkinson is a very risky fantasy asset, but with good recent results, he's at least worth adding in some deeper leagues going into week 13.

Carolina is his next matchup, and that's a pretty favorable one, so some deep-league owners should be happy to start him in week 13. I'd look elsewhere for standard league help, but in a pinch, it's not crazy to try him in those leagues too.

Should You Add Gunnar Helm?

Helm had the best showing of his young career in week 12. He caught six of his seven targets for 51 yards.

He hadn't gone over four catches in a game before this week, and was at five or less targets in every other contest. Helm has one touchdown on the season, but this outing was still his best fantasy showing.

His role has grown the past couple weeks out of necessity with so many Tennessee pass catchers injured. He's a higher-upside fantasy TE than Chig Okonkwo, who had 40 yards on three catches and four targets this week.

I like Helm over Okonkwo the rest of the way, as the Titans look toward the future. Okonkwo will still be involved, but Helm could become a legit fantasy asset down the stretch.

Jacksonville is a super favorable fantasy test for the Tennessee tight ends in week 13, so both could be decent fantasy starters. I like Helm more, but am probably only starting each guy in deeper leagues.

Should You Add Juwan Johnson?

Johnson finished with 46 yards on six receptions and seven targets in week 12. It wasn't a standout fantasy performance, but it was still solid, especially in PPR formats.

He could take on even more in week 13 if Alvin Kamara were to miss the game with his injury. Johnson is probably already the team's second-best fantasy player, behind Chris Olave.

Johnson has been overlooked most of the season, even though he continues to deliver week after week.

He's got an awesome matchup coming in week 13 against the Dolphins, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points on average so far.

Johnson is a very good deep-league fantasy option, and should get a lot of standard league starts. Trust his season-long numbers and the great matchup and have confidence in Johnson deliver in week 13.

Should You Add Dalton Kincaid?

Kincaid didn't play again this week because of an injury. That injury has his own percentage low, so when he returns, he will be available to a good portion of fantasy owners.

If he can return in week 13, he will have a very favorable matchup against the Steelers. Pittsburgh is a top-five fantasy matchup for tight ends so far.

Kincaid has been a pretty good fantasy asset this season, but injuries have derailed his season. He's arguably the top fantasy pass catcher for the Bills, and with Josh Allen at quarterback, that's a great thing to be able to write.

So Kincaid's status is one to watch as week 13 gets rolling. If he's trending toward playing, Kincaid is worth an add, as he will be a very good starting option in this favorable matchup.

Should You Add Dalton Schultz?

Schultz played back on Thursday against the Bills, who are a brutal fantasy matchup for tight ends. Schultz only went for eight yards on a single catch and four targets.

That game slowed the tight end's upward trend. Schultz scored in double digits in five of the six games before that, so I'd just chalk his down week 12 performance to the tougher matchup.

Things swing back in Schultz's favor in week 13, as his week 13 matchup against the Colts is a top-five clash for a tight end. 

Schultz might be dropped after his weak showing in week 12, but I'd be thrilled to scoop him up, as he's primed for an average-or-better fantasy showing in week 13. Definitely start him in deeper leagues, and don't be surprised if he's a top-10 guy, so worthy of standard league starts too.
