Generally speaking, there are only a handful of high-volume tight ends across the league. It’s good to know who those guys are, but overall, TE rankings don’t see a lot of big changes for PPR leagues compared to standard formats. Still, at a position where even seemingly minor stat differences can matter, our TE PPR rankings are worth a look. There are a couple of potential steals you could land (cough, cough, Jack Doyle) because other players might overpay for a bigger name who may not see as many targets....

Week 7 Rankings:Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker Is Carlos Hyde playing Week 7? At this point, it’s unclear if Hyde will suit up for the Jaguars against the Texans this week.

Both situations could affect waiver wire pickups in Week 9, though Benjamin’s Week 9 availability is the bigger worry at this point. Here are the latest updates.

As always, we caution against trying to overanalyze the position, especially this early in the season. We don’t know for sure which offenses and defenses are good and bad, nor do we know how new kickers will fare or how new coaches will gameplan. Obviously, we have some ideas, but we’re largely going off historical performance and general projections. Week 1 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST...

And we’re versatile, too. You already know Jeremy Langford is set to take over for the injured Matt Forte, but fellow rookie David Cobb has a favorable matchup of his own that could give him value ( Update: Cobb will not be activated this week ). The Chargers need someone to step up for Keenan Allen, so we offer up not one but two high-percentage fill-ins. The recently traded Vernon Davis is an intriguing option in Denver, while the Saints’ and Falcons’ D/STs figure to feast on struggling offenses....

Remember that the Patriots, Cardinals, Texans, Bears, Bengals and Redskins are off this week, making the waiver wire busier, season-long rankings tougher to put together, and daily fantasy football lineups harder to pick. There are still plenty of guys in play, though, so here’s our take on the tough calls you should make in Week 9. WEEK 9 RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

Usage/production trends and a new set of favorable/unfavorable matchups affect lineup decisions every week, but the biggest issue will always be injuries. There are plenty of big ones set to affect Week 5 lineups, starting with Javonte Williams’ season-ending ACL tear and Jonathan Taylor’s worrisome ankle issue. Beyond those, Keenan Allen (hamstring), Alvin Kamara (ribs), D’Andre Swift (shoulder), David Montgomery (knee, ankle), Michael Thomas (toe), Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle), Jakobi Meyers (knee), Hunter Renfrow (concussion), Daniel Jones (ankle), and Jameis Winston (back) are all dealing with ailments that could keep them out, and you know more injuries will pop up later in the week....

The Decider is here again to help you make those tough lineup calls with an expanded edition of whom to play over someone else in both regular formats and NFL DFS contests. WEEK 13 RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker Fantasy Football Week 13 Start ‘Em: Quarterbacks Every-week starts Tom Brady, Patriots (at BUF), Drew Brees, Saints (vs. CAR), Carson Wentz, Eagles (at SEA), Russell Wilson, Seahawks (vs....

As always, the Decider is back again with his midweek dose of recommended players to play and avoid based on matchups and other factors. Here’s a look at all of the important decisions that you should be making for NFL Week 7.

The Eagles, Chiefs and Jaguars will likely bench their starters, but in a weird twist of fate, that’s actually a good, bad, and neutral thing for TEs. First, the good thing is the Eagles will likely rest Zach Ertz (not good for Ertz-owners), but both Trey Burton and Brent Celek have shined when Ertz doesn’t play. That’s two new streamers possibilties out of the blue. For now, we list Ertz in the rankings, but we’ve ranked both Burton and Celek as if Ertz isn’t there....

Owners of Jimmy Graham, Tyler Kroft and Jason Witten will have to turn elsewhere for TEs due to the bye week, and Clay owners will most definitely have to turn elsewhere due to his knee injury (out multiple weeks), even with his team on bye. Some possible streamer options for these owners – and everyone else, too – include David Njoku, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Ed Dickson and George Kittle. Many tight ends still live that touchdown-or-die life in fantasy, but based on matchups and recent success, we’ve pieced together the Week 6 TE rankings....
