Fantasy Football TE PPR Leaderboard Week 15: Who Started, Well Finished in Fantasy Football
Our fantasy TE PPR Week 15 standings will follow the same process we’ve done in all seasons: A tight finish – if there is such a thing this year – remains at the top of the table. , but we had to rearrange the teams at the beginning of the ’em sit’ em bubble based on previous matches and usage to fill in the middle of the pecking order. As always, use these to decide who will start this must-win week.
It’s been an interesting week as all options are (hopefully) on the table, but at this point in the season, tight finish breakthroughs appear to be over. That said, Ricky Seals-Jones is back from injury, and in PPR tournaments he could be a sneaky TE1 for the rest of the season. This week, he’ll face the Eagles, the worst defenders of fantasy endings. People quickly forget how productive RSJ was at the start of this season in Logan Thomas’s absence, so he deserves a guest pick with more favorable games ahead. Currently, we rank RSJ as a premium TE2 because he can eventually go sideways (like he did in Week 14), but his upside is in the TE1 range.
WEEK 15 PPR RANKING:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | VND / ST | Kicker
Among the players on the starting or immediate bubble, we like Tyler Higbee (vs. Seahawks), Austin Hooper (vs. Raiders), Hunter Henry (@Colts), James O’Shaughnessy (vs. Texans) and perhaps Gerald Everett (@Ram). All of those defenses have ceded a lot of production to TE this year.
WEEK 15 STANDARD RATINGS:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
Henry is the most effective pick, but a few quiet performances can scare people off his TD-or-bust record. However, the Colts have the sixth worst defense against the TEs in terms of fantasy points allowed, so don’t be shy about him here. O’Shaughnessy is best suited for PPR tournaments, and since the Texan is among the 10 worst defenses against tight finishes, we think he has a safe PPR deck. Everett and Hooper don’t necessarily explode because they rarely explode, but they could bring you something this week.
You’re probably starting Kyle Pitts (@49ers) more than some of the guys listed above, but it’s hard to continue to see him as a must-start pick because of his lack of imagined success. The Niners allowed TJ Ho Chickenon to field in Week 1, but because they are allowing TEs under six imaginary points per game. We think Noah Fant (vs. Bengals) could be a must-start player in pre-season, but he’s not even reliable in favorable games, so how do we get it? Can you trust him here? It may not be his fault, but this is fantasy football, and he has been mediocre lately because Albert Okwuegbunam has earned more playing time. We will consider playing all those listed as broadcasters more favorably than Fant.
Leave Cole Kmet (vs Vikings), Tyler Conklin (@ Bears), CJ Uzomah (@ Broncos), and the Colts’ tight finish (vs Patriots) on the bench. These guys have been in production on just a few occasions, and the right numbers suggest this won’t be one of the hit points.
The PPR format gives some of the more secure tiered tight ends, but as always, trust your studs and don’t overthink things. As annoying as even Travis Kelce (@ Chargers), he’s the one to start. The same goes for Darren Waller (knee) and TJ Ho Chickenon (hand) if they become active again. Hopefully not everyone has to sift through the unreliable TEs in the middle of our leaderboard, but in a win-win week like this, chances are you’ll run out of options.
Note: We’ll be updating this TE PPR leaderboard throughout the week, so check back for the latest player movement and analysis.
