The Most Consistent Fantasy TE of 2019
Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs was the most consistent fantasy tight end of 2019, posting 254 fantasy points across 16 games, 16 per game, with a best single week of 25. He played every game on the schedule and never left the top of the position, which is exactly what consistency means at tight end. George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers came closest at 222 points, but Kelce was the steadiest option at the position all season.
Who Was the Most Consistent Fantasy Tight End of 2019?
Consistency at tight end in 2019 meant showing up every week with a usable score, and nobody did that better than Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. He appeared in all 16 games, totaled 254 fantasy points, averaged 16 per game, and peaked with a best week of 25. His per-game number led the position, and because he never missed a game, the total and the average tell the same story rather than competing with each other.
The gap between Kelce and the field showed up in both columns. George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers averaged 15 per game across 15 games, the only other tight end within a point of Kelce's weekly pace, but his 222-point total landed second. Darren Waller of the Las Vegas Raiders matched that total almost exactly at 221, yet his 14 per game sat further back, meaning Kelce separated himself on a week-to-week basis and not just on the season ledger.
Every Top 10 Fantasy Tight End Season of 2019, Ranked
The leaderboard below ranks the ten highest-scoring tight ends of 2019 by total fantasy points, with games played, per-game scoring and best single week included.
| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | |------|--------|------|-------|--------|-----------------|-----------| | 1 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 16 | 254 | 16 | 25 | | 2 | George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers | 15 | 222 | 15 | 26 | | 3 | Darren Waller | Las Vegas Raiders | 16 | 221 | 14 | 32 | | 4 | Mark Andrews | Baltimore Ravens | 15 | 207 | 14 | 27 | | 5 | Zach Ertz | Philadelphia Eagles | 16 | 214 | 13 | 30 | | 6 | Austin Hooper | Atlanta Falcons | 15 | 190 | 13 | 26 | | 7 | Jared Cook | New Orleans Saints | 16 | 168 | 10 | 23 | | 8 | Tyler Higbee | Los Angeles Rams | 16 | 160 | 10 | 24 | | 9 | Jacob Hollister | Seattle Seahawks | 10 | 94 | 9 | 20 | | 10 | Hunter Henry | Los Angeles Chargers | 16 | 148 | 9 | 30 |
Two details in the table deserve a second look. Hunter Henry of the Los Angeles Chargers finished tenth in total points at 148, below Tyler Higbee of the Los Angeles Rams at 160, yet Henry's best week of 30 towered over Higbee's 24, showing his season was built on peaks rather than steady production. Jacob Hollister of the Seattle Seahawks scored 94 points in just 10 games, a 9 per game pace that matched Henry's despite less than a full slate of appearances.
Where the 2019 Tight End Field Broke Apart
The position split into clear tiers in 2019. The top four, Kelce, Kittle, Waller and Mark Andrews of the Baltimore Ravens, all produced big point totals, with Andrews at 207 and a best week of 27. Zach Ertz of the Philadelphia Eagles sat just outside that group at 214 points despite playing 16 games, ranked fifth on total but fifth on per-game scoring as well at 13.
Below Ertz, the drop was steep. Austin Hooper of the Atlanta Falcons turned 15 games into 190 points, still averaging 13 per game, but Jared Cook of the New Orleans Saints fell to 10 per game at 168 points. The single-week column tells the same story of Kelce's steadiness from another angle: his best week of 25 was lower than Kittle's 26, Waller's 32, Andrews's 27, Ertz's 30, Hooper's 26 and Henry's 30. Kelce won the season without relying on one huge afternoon, which is the clearest case for him as the most consistent tight end of 2019.
