Tight end non-PPR rankings for Week 17 fantasy football

Friday injury report

Dallas Goedert and Richard Rodgers highlight just two of the many inactives for the Eagles on Sunday. Zach Ertz may get his shot to show that he’s still got some gas in the tank Sunday, as it’s likely be leading the team in targets for Week 17.

Cole Kmet is listed as questionable with a shoulder injury heading into Sunday. If our, Jimmy Graham could be an intriguing DFS play coming off of a two touchdown performance.

Out: Dallas Goedert (calf), Richard Rodgers (ankle)
Doubtful: N/A
Questionable: Greg Olsen (foot), Maxx Williams (ankle), Cole Kmet (shoulder)

Wednesday injury report

DNP: Dallas Goedert (calf), Richard Rodgers (ankle)
Limited: Dan Arnold (back), Evan Engram (calf), Jace Sternberger (concussion)
Full: Cole Kmet (shoulder), Mike Gesicki (shoulder)

Week 17 is always a wild ride for those who play for a W, and this year is no different. Though we have a good idea of the playoff picture, there are still plenty of question marks regarding seeding that could make this a confusing week for fantasy managers still looking to clinch a title in Week 17.

Some teams with things left on the line in Week 17: Cowboys, Giants, Browns, Dolphins, Ravens, Cardinals, Rams, Colts, Titans, Bears, Buccaneers, Saints, Seahawks, Packers and Washington.

Travis Kelce could be the nail in the coffin for the fantasy managers that he carried to the championship. The Chiefs have the No. 1 seed in the AFC locked up, and there’s certainly a chance we won’t see much, if any, of Kelce to close out the season.

Injury news

George Kittle returned from a foot injury to play 50% of the team’s offensive snaps. He totaled 92 receiving yards in his debut from IR.

Kyle Rudolph has been placed on the injured reserve list with a foot injury.

Irv Smith Jr., Minnesota Vikings

Smith has managed two multiple-touchdown games in the last five weeks, and now, Kyle Rudolph has been placed on the injured reserve list, meaning that we’ll continue to see Smith Jr.’s involvement. He’s averaged 51 receiving yards over the past three games and has the second-most red-zone targets (one more than Adam Thielen) since Week 13.

Robert Tonyan, Green Bay Packers

Robert Tonyan has had two consecutive games with fewer than 20 receiving yards and finally snapped his five-game TD streak in Week 16. Fear not, though, fantasy managers. Don’t give up on 2020’s TE3 just yet. The Bears have held up a strong defensive front, but teams have found a weak spot against the tight ends. They’re currently allowing the second-most fantasy points and tie for the second-most TDs allowed to TEs on the season. Tonyan has a nice chance at a bounceback game.
