Lineup Decisions Under Pressure

Week 14 is that time of the year where every point counts. I envision many of you furiously shuffling your rosters, contemplating just which tight end can either save your season or send you spiraling into despair. If you're teetering on the edge of playoff contention, consider the following:

• Matchup Analysis: Pay close attention to defensive matchups. A solid tight end against a weak defense can provide the edge you need.
• Tight End Target Share: Keep an eye on injuries. With others out, certain tight ends might become primary targets.
• Game Scripts: Predict shootouts or low-scoring affairs. Your tight end's role might vary based on how competitive a matchup is expected to be.
