NFL Week 17 Fantasy TE & DEF Rankings




To differentiate between all the "Start 'Ems" on my Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em page, you can check out the Weekly Fantasy Football Rankings, so you can figure out whom to start between Player X and Player Y.

Below are my fantasy tight end and defense rankings and a set of links for my positional Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings. Keep in mind that this list is for this week only; not the entire rest of the season.

The rankings are based on a traditional scoring system. Compensate for PPR and touchdown leagues accordingly.

never gave the saints much thought - they are avaible on the waiver wire in my league. In my league they changed the negative for points against so mostly looking for sacks/Turnovers/return points and playing in NO certainly helps the saints...do you still think the Jags are horrible and the vikings are gonna get to gabbert? I hope so cause I
streamed the Vikes this week...

No Lance Kendricks on your TE list? you really think that any of the guys in the bottom 10 are better than him? he's Bradford's best weapon, he'll be pretty heavily utilized by him.

I think Tight Ends are worth their own individual write-ups just as QB, RB & WR....c'mon Walt.
