Week 16 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tight Ends /

Welcome to Week 16 of the fantasy football season!

This is also the semifinals of the fantasy postseason, so we’re on our way to the ultimate goal … winning a title! As always. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in addition to the Week 16 edition of Start Em, Sit Em.

At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

At tight end, Trey McBride is in the top five after his second straight 20-point game. Isaiah Likely moves into the top eight, and Cole Kmet pushes into the top 10. The fallers include Taysom Hill, who barely saw time last week, as well as Kyle Pitts.

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