Robert Tonyan Week 13 Outlook - Lions at Bears

So, despite Allen Lazard being back in the lineup, Tonyan has managed to see five targets in each of the last two games. He's turned them into 5/44/1 and 5/67/1, so it's safe to say he's been efficient. Because of that, he's the No. 4 tight end on the year. Crazy year, eh? The Eagles have allowed the 12th-most points per game to tight ends, though the numbers are extremely skewed by early-year production. Over the first four weeks they allowed Logan Thomas 4/37/1, Tyler Higbee 5/54/3, and George Kittle 15/183/1, which made it seem like the matchup we dreamed of for tight ends. Since that time, they've allowed just 34 receptions, 273 yards, and one touchdown over their last seven games, so it's no longer that dream matchup. They played against Evan Engram (twice), Eric Ebron, Mark Andrews, Dalton Schultz, and Austin Hooper during that stretch, so the competition wasn't bad, either. Kittle was still the only one who topped 54 yards against them, so it's a touchdown-dependent matchup, but playing with Rodgers does give him much better odds than most. He should remain in the low-end TE1 conversation.
