Week 3 Starts and Sits – Tight Ends

Dive into the Week 3 2025 tight end starts and sits to improve your fantasy football lineup with expert tips!

Starts

Jake Ferguson
Jake Ferguson has quickly become a favorite of Dak Prescott, leading all tight ends with 12 targets in Week 2. Now he faces a Bears defense that has been shredded by TEs with an 83% completion rate allowed. Ferguson is a strong TE1 this week.

Kyle Pitts
Kyle Pitts is trending back into relevance at a position starved for production. Atlanta faces Carolina, which has been among the league’s worst at defending tight ends. With his role growing, Pitts slides into low-end TE1 status.

Sits

Evan Engram
Evan Engram has been invisible with just six targets in two weeks, and even Adam Trautman outpaced him last Sunday. The Chargers have already slowed Travis Kelce and Brock Bowers, making Engram a clear bench option.

Mark Andrews
Mark Andrews is averaging just two catches and 3.5 yards per game, with scoring chances as his only saving grace. The Lions rarely allow tight ends to find the end zone and have given up just 51 yards to the position this year. Andrews is too touchdown-dependent to trust.
