Week 5 Fantasy PPR Rankings: TE

Our Week 5 PPR rankings for TEs are, sadly, uninspiring. The tight end position has been dealt numerous key injuries to start the season, and a good chunk of our preseason top 12 may not be suiting up in Week 5 due to injuries (Rob Gronkowski, to name just one) and definitely not suiting up due to byes (Trey Burton). That makes the position very difficult to navigate, but savvy fantasy football owners know how to find a solution -- look for the targets, and the points will hopefully follow.

The most favorable streaming options (unsurprisingly) come from the Falcons-Steelers game. In a contest that features two of the weaker defenses in the league, Vance McDonald and Austin Hooper could turn into solid streamers for Week 5. They may end up seeing more volume than usual, as both defenses aren't great against TEs. Elsewhere, Ricky Seals-Jones may start to see more targets with Josh Rosen at the helm, so he's a guy who could outperform expectations.

Week 5 Standard Rankings:
Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker

There really aren't a ton of high-volume guys at the TE position right now. It's mostly just Gronk, Zach Ertz, and Travis Kelce (at least until some of the top players at the position get healthy). So, there are still a lot of highly ranked, TD-dependent players, but there are still important changes to make for the PPR format.

Reminder: Check back for updates during the week. And for more analysis on each player, check out our standard TE rankings for Week 5. Also, give a listen to our Week 5 preview podcast.
