Chris Thomas’ Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings for Week 16

Here are my tight end rankings for Week 16 of the 2020 NFL Season.

*Ratings are subject to change due to injury reports or possible move to reserve/COVID-19 list*

(Check out the section below for details on players already rumored to possibly miss this week and how their replacement options rank for the week)

Key:

Must Start- a player who is in your lineup regardless of the matchup or most circumstances. They Will likely finish near the top of the league in points that week and in most weeks.

Starting TE1- a player who makes fantasy owners comfortable starting week after week. Regardless of the matchup, this player has a solid floor.

TD Dependent Starter- a player who may not be a lock to start for a team every week, but will start more times than not because of depth at the position. Their production is based on whether they can get in the end zone or not. It can be the difference between a top 10 performance or top 25 performance

Deep League Starter- a player whose ceiling isn’t high but should put up enough production to be started in deep leagues. When a player like this is started it is because their production though it will likely be low, will be better than a few options.

Leave on the Bench- a player who should be avoided in all lineups that week. Many times this player could even be left on waivers.

Possible Changes that can occur before Sunday

TE8 Mike Gesicki, Miami Dolphins

Mike Gesicki missed last week because of a shoulder injury. If Geisicki misses Durham Smythe will become the Dolphins’ primary pass-catching tight end and will become TE21 between Cole Kmet and Jonnu Smith.

TE22 Eric Ebron, Pittsburgh Steelers

Early in last week’s game Eric Ebron hurt his back and could potentially miss this week’s game. If that was the case Vance McDonald would get onto the fantasy radar but is not a great fantasy option in a tough matchup against the Colts.
