The tight end position is always frustrating to navigate, but fantasy managers who made it to the championship round of the fantasy football playoffs will have to do it one more time. There are a handful of must-start studs at tight end, but not everyone has that luxury. Identifying the top streamer could be the difference between winning and losing a fantasy title. We're here to help with our updated Week 17 fantasy football tight end rankings, as of December 29th. Our goal is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key tight ends like Mark Andrews, Tyler Higbee, Evan Engram, Taysom Hill, Noah Fant, and Jelani Woods rank, among others.
Our tight end fantasy football rankings are put together by Nick Mariano, Brandon Murchison and Andersen Pickard. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.
