If you're playing in a fantasy football championship game in Week 17, you are probably hoping that the Chiefs decide to play Travis Kelce. Our Week 17 fantasy TE PPR rankings have Kelce included at the moment, but given Andy Reid's penchant for sitting his starters in meaningless games, it's hard to know whether or not (or how much) Kelce will play.
If Kelce doesn't play, the TE position is going to be wide-open for fantasy owners. Darren Waller and George Kittle will be the two big-name players on the slate, but aside from them, everything will be matchup-based. That will make finding the right streamers extremely important.
WEEK 17 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
Usually, finding PPR streamers is easy, but at the tight end spot, there aren't a lot of high-volume targets to go after. Sure, Logan Thomas (@ Eagles) will move up, but aside from him, there aren't a lot of huge moves when comparing these rankings to our standard TE rankings. That's just the nature of the position. It's mostly TD-dependent.
The waiver-wire is always full of decent TE options, so if you need one, feel free to trust any of these players. Most TE plays, outside of the top-five or so, are just dart throws, so feel free to go with your gut at this position.
WEEK 17 PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | D/ST | Kicker
