Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tight Ends
Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tight Ends /

Welcome to Week 6 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 6 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

At tight end, rookie Sam LaPorta remains in the top four after another nice stat line. Dallas Goedert is back in the top five after a breakout game in Los Angeles, and Cole Kmet has emerged into a top-10 tight end after two strong games.

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