Week 4 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tight Ends

A pair of promising rookies go head-to-head Thursday night.

Welcome to Week 4 of the fantasy football season!

It’s time to start thinking about setting your lineups, and we’re here to help with our initial fantasy player rankings! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which you can use in coordination with the Week 4 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

At tight end, youngsters Sam LaPorta and Luke Musgrave are both No. 1 options. Fellow rookie Dalton Kincaid is a nice streamer this week, but veterans like Dalton Schultz and David Njoku have taken a tumble due to recent bad stat lines.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
