Week 17 fantasy football tight end rankings for half-PPR scoring. Set winning lineups with our Week 17 ranks for fantasy football and the 2023 NFL season.
RotoBallers, the fantasy football Super Bowl week finally arrives. Fantasy managers searching for a replacement for T.J. Hockenson or a streamer for the championship game, we've always got you covered with our Week 17 half-PPR tight end rankings for fantasy football. We have been with you all season, helping you set those winning lineups, and now it's time to hoist the hardware together. There are news and notes to get for tight ends. Let's dive in.
Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson suffered a torn ACL and MCL in the Week 16 loss to the Detroit Lions. Look for Josh Oliver to see an expanded role with Hockenson out, but he is mainly a fantasy option in deep-league formats. Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce continues to fade as he has yet to find the end zone since Week 11. The 34-year-old has topped 50 receiving yards over his last two games. Find out where Oliver, Kelce, and other critical tight ends such as Chigoziem Okonkwo, Juwan Johnson, Isaiah Likely, Dalton Schultz, and Darren Waller rank this week.
Our fantasy football rankings for Week 17 are put together by Nick Mariano. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always critical injuries to track, so check back until kickoff.
