Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 17 PPR Rankings
|
1.
Trey McBride
ARI (at CIN)
There's no way around it, after carrying fantasy teams all season, McBride dropped the ball in the fantasy semi-finals. Posting his worst week of the year, it was one of those moments that make fantasy football such a cruel game. However, if you managed to move on, he could single-handedly win you your championship. The Bengals have allowed by far the most fantasy points to the TE position on the season. Plus, the Cardinals' defense won't have the answers for Burrow and company. As a result, we have McBride taking on the worst defense in a game that should be the highest scoring affair of the week. That sounds like a league-winner to me.

2.
George Kittle
SF (vs . CHI)
Kittle has been phenomenal since returning from injury. Unfortunately, he is also injured right now. With his status uncertain, be sure to check the practice reports. However, if he is active, you have to play him. With 60-plus yards in six consecutive games and five touchdowns in that span, Kittle is the clear second-best TE behind McBride.

3.
Harold Fannin Jr.
CLE (vs . PIT)
What a rookie season it has been for Fannin. From starting the season firmly behind David Njoku, the rookie has made his mark as a dynamic player on this offense. With 31 targets over his last three games and three touchdowns in his last four games, he has become one of the most productive TEs down the stretch. This week, they face the Steelers who have allowed the 10th most fantasy points to the position since Week 10. Keep riding the breakout rookie.

4.
Kyle Pitts Sr.
ATL (vs . LAR)
We finally answered the question of what would happen to Pitts when Drake London returned. Well, sort of. It was clear that London is still not fully healthy, allowing Pitts to continue his role as the top target on this offense. In his last two games, Pitts has scored four of his 15 career touchdowns. That's incredible. This week, the Falcons have a tough task against the Rams. Although the Rams' defense has hovered around league average against the TE position, the Falcons will need to find a way to keep up with Matthew Stafford and company. As a result, if Pitts continues to operate as the top receiving weapon, he should find his way to his fifth consecutive top-seven performance at the position.
