Fantasy TE PPR Rankings Week 16 Who to s

If you own Travis Kelce, you're probably not too worried about our Week 16 fantasy TE PPR rankings. Why would you be? There's zero chance you'd look for a streamer on the waiver wire, and you probably don't even have another tight end on your bench. All other fantasy owners should at least be glancing at our list this week, though, as there could be available TE sleepers with better matchups and higher ceilings than your starter.Let's be honest, though -- if you have Mark Andrews (vs. Falcons in Week 16), T.J. Hockenson (vs. Giants), Pat Freiermuth (vs. Raiders), or George Kittle (vs. Commanders), you're probably not considering a streamer. Andrews, Hockenson, and Freiermuth have favorable matchups this week, so that makes sense despite recent disappointments, but Kittle is facing off against a Commanders Glen Rice Jersey ' defense that entered Week 15 allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to TEs. Should you blindly trust him?It's likely that you will, as Kittle always has a high ceiling, but with your playoff life on the line, it never hurts to take a second look. That would also apply to Dallas Goedert (@ Cowboys), who's set to return this week from a shoulder injury, David Njoku (vs. Saints), Evan Engram (@ Jets), Juwan Johnson @ Browns), and Darren Waller (@ Steelers), all of whom face top-12 TE defenses.WEEK 16 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Again, it's tough to suggest benching those proven studs for waiver-wire pickups, but if you prefer to play the matchup game, there are some solid options. Robert Tonyan (@ Dolphins), Tyler Conklin (vs. Jaguars), Cade Otton (@ Cardinals), and Daniel Bellinger (@ Vikings) all square off against Ryan Anderson Jersey defenses in the top 12 in fantasy points allowed to TEs. Otton is in an especially good situation against Arizona's league-worst TE defense, but he'll be splitting snaps and targets with Cameron Brate. Tonyan is also in a great spot against a Miami defense that entered Week 15 allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to TEs and was promptly lit up by Dawson Knox. He likely has the highest floor in PPR leagues.WEEK 16 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | Deep-leaguers who really want to live dangerously could tryTrey McBride (vs. Buccaneers), Jordan Akins (@ Titans), or Ian Thomas (@ Lions). Their opponents rank sixth, third, and fifth, respectively, in fantasy points allowed to TEs, so there's higher yardage and touchdown potential. Even though McBride (five targets last week) and Akins (6) have been more involved lately, you can't count on a lot of catches from these guys, which really lowers their Miami Heat T-Shirts floors in PPR leagues.WEEK 16 FANTASY PICKS: | | Fantasy owners have been dealing with that phenomenon on a slightly different level with Taysom Hill (@ Browns) all year, and now we can add another converted QB to the list: Jeff Driskel (@ Titans). Driskel is TE-eligible in Yahoo leagues, and he's actually playing more "actual" QB than Hill while also running the ball around five times per game. That gives him a relatively high floor, even in PPR leagues, but you likely need a touchdown for him to really pay off. There's always the po sibility that the Texans just roll with him at QB for most of the game, which would likely lead to him being a top-five TE in Week 16 (especially against Tenne see's putrid pa s defense), so consider Driskel the ultimate boom-or-bust candidate.WEEK 16 DFS LINEUPS: | We're not high on Dawson Knox (@ Bears), Chig Okonkwo (vs. Texans), and Tyler Higbee (vs. Broncos) this week, as all are streaky and have below-average matchups. At least one or two will step up and have a nice game, but it's tough to predict which ones. Knox has a relatively decent floor in PPR, though, so if you're projected to win big, you should be able to get by with him in your lineup.WEEK 16 DFS: | We'll be updating these TE PPR rankings as needed throughout Shaquille O'Neal Jersey the week, so check back for the latest changes and analysis.
