Tight end is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football from week to week, and that trend continued in Week 16, when some regular contributors struggled and some previously struggling players put up big games. Looking ahead to the all-important Week 17 matchups, let’s run down the top 15 in my TE Rankings for this week, when championships and penalties are finalized in many formats.
In Week 16, Harold Fannin Jr. (19.5 FPTS), Kyle Pitts Sr. (18.7 FPTS), Juwan Johnson (16.9 FPTS), Chig Okonkwo (16.4 FPTS), Elijah Higgins (16.1 FPTS) and Hunter Henry (15.5 FPTS).
