Just a quick little lookback/comparison of the 2022 season… We'll do a position report per day on Fantasy top 12 scoring 'splits' or trends from last season. Just as a refresher/prep leading into the 2023 preseason.
Today’s comparison: The TEs on a PPR basis.
Weeks 1-8
(min. 5 games played)
21.0 = Kelce, KC
15.2 = Andrews, BAL
12.3 = Ertz, ARI (missed 2nd-half)
12.2 = Hockenson, DET (one massive output game, and TE2 output all his other 1st-half games)
11.7 = T. Hill, NO (ditto…one massive output game, and TE2 output all his other 1st-half games)
11.7 = Kittle, SF
11.4 = Goedert, PHI (missed a big chunk of 2nd half)
11.3 = Njoku, CLE (with Brissett…faded with Watson + ankle injury)
10.7 = Freiermuth, PIT
10.1 = Conklin, NYJ
9.9 = Everett, LAC
9.6 = Higbee, LAR
Weeks 9-17
(min. 5 games played)
17.7 = Kelce, KC (wire-to-wire top TE…but he’s ‘old’ and ‘any ol’ TE will do’, right?)
14.1 = Hockenson, MIN (credit to TJH, the only TE in the top 5 both halves…but he made it off two monster 35+ PPR games in 2022. 35.6% of his 2022 FF pts PPR came in two games.)
14.0 = Kittle, SF (the Purdy bump)
12.2 = Engram, JAX (JAX discovered him 2nd-half…not top 12 1st-half)
12.1 = Schultz, DAL
12.0 = Kmet, CHI
11.0 = J. Johnson, NO
10.5 = Freiermuth, PIT
10.2 = Knox, BUF
9.9 = Andrews, BAL (Lamar mostly gone 2nd-half)
9.7 = Higbee, LAR (Stafford mostly gone 2nd-half)
*Did you notice a particular TE who was NOT in the top 12 in either half?
The great Kyle Pitts (he is great, Arthur Smith is his kryptonite)
