Week 17 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tight Ends

Even with a backup quarterback playing, Evan Engram is a must-start at the position.

Welcome to Week 17 of the fantasy football season!

This is also the championship week of the fantasy postseason, so congratulations to everyone who reached the finals! As always. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in addition to the Week 17 edition of Start Em, Sit Em.

At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

At tight end, the loss of T.J. Hockenson is a huge one at what is a thin position. Sam LaPorta, Trey McBride, David Njoku and Evan Engram are must-starts, and Gerald Everett will be a popular streamer with a plus matchup against the Denver Broncos up next.

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