Week 17 fantasy football TE rankings: Best starts at tight end
There wasn't much to celebrate last week for Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride.
The clear No. 1 at the position this season (by a considerable margin), McBride had his worst game of the year in Week 16, catching just four passes for 27 yards. For many fantasy managers who'd been relying on him all year, McBride's dud ended their seasons.
But if you managed to survive with him, McBride should be back to his old dominant self this week as the Cardinals face the best possible matchup for tight ends on the season (by a considerable margin), the Cincinnati Bengals.
(Rankings by Elisha Twerski, whose complete Week 17 rankings for every position will be up until kickoff on Sunday.)
