RotoBallers, the second round of the fantasy playoffs, has arrived. Here at RotoBaller, we have been providing that league-winning advice and will look to guide you to the fantasy championship with our Week 16 half-PPR tight end rankings for fantasy football.
Detroit Lions rookie tight end Sam LaPorta is having one of the greatest rookie seasons for a tight end. The 22-year-old has racked up 71 catches for 751 yards and nine touchdowns over 14 games in 2023. LaPorta has caught five touchdowns over his last four games and will look to continue to build on his strong rookie year in Sunday's contest versus the Vikings. Can superstar tight end Travis Kelce rebound after being held to 28 receiving yards in last Sunday's win over the New England Patriots? Find out where LaPorta, Kelce, and other critical tight ends such as Hunter Henry, Isaiah Likely, Tucker Kraft, Tanner Hudson, and Darren Waller rank in Week 16.
Our fantasy football rankings for Week 16 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.
