Week 16 TE Rankings: 2025 Fantasy Football Playoff Rankings

Updated:

By: Zach Thompson

As it has been all season, tight end was again a critical position in Week 15, as several key contributors helped their fantasy teams to the next round of the playoffs almost single-handedly with huge performances. Looking ahead to next week’s 16 games in Week 16 with all 32 teams again on the schedule, let’s run down the top options on the board with my TE rankings, which can help you with your start/sit decisions headed into another critical week of games for playoff races and fantasy football results.

In Week 15, Kyle Pitts Sr. (48.6 FPTS), Trey McBride (40.4 FPTS), Dallas Goedert (25 FPTS), Colby Parkinson (24.5 FPTS), George Kittle (22.8 FPTS) and Dalton Schultz (21.6 FPTS) each posted over 20 fantasy points. Getting that level of production from the tight end pushed many teams into the next round of the playoffs, setting them up for success again in Week 16
