Navigating the tight end position is never an easy task, but most of the top-tier tight ends are playing in meaningful Week 18 games. As always, not everyone has must-start options at tight end, so we're here to help with our updated Week 18 fantasy football tight end rankings, as of January 4th. Our goal is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key tight ends like Evan Engram, Darren Waller, Taysom Hill, Cole Kmet, and Trey McBride 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.
