Week 17 Fantasy PPR Rankings: Tight end

The Week 17 fantasy tight end rankings for PPR leagues are what they are -- pretty similar to most weeks and pretty similar to the non-PPR rankings. It's just been the nature of the position this season -- either you have a stud or you don't. The start 'em, sit 'em decisions in Week 17 fantasy championships can't be too difficult this week because you've surely gotten to the title game with a good TE in tow.

Maybe that tight end was initially a stream, like Tyler Higbee. But since lighting up the Cardinals in Week 13, he's continued his torrid finish to the season and topped 100 yards in four-straight games. And now look who is on the schedule in Week 17 -- the Cardinals! Higbee could very well reach the century mark for a fifth consecutive week and help win some fantasy championships.

WEEK 17 NON-PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

If you've somehow made it this far and still need to stream, look to Dallas Goedert. He caught 9-of-12 targets Sunday and has elevated his game with the Eagles lacking many of their top WRs. He's not as good a play as Zach Ertz, but there's a non-zero chance Goedert outscores Ertz again. Other possible streams include Kaden Smith (vs. Eagles) and Noah Fant (vs. Raiders).

So basically, start your studs. The only sticky spot to watch at the top of the rankings appears to be in Baltimore, where the Ravens could choose to sit players with the AFC's top seed locked up. If they sat Mark Andrews, that'd be disappointing for owners he's carried most of the season, but you could potentially just plug in Hayden Hurst and hope his connection with RG3 is half as good as Andrews' connection with Lamar.

(Update: Be on the lookout for Zach Ertz's status, as well, as he may be a true game-time decision Sunday. Dallas Goedert would be a strong TE1 if Ertz sits against the Giants.)
