Bye Week hell is upon us, which is doubly concerning when it’s win or go home for many fantasy owners. No one wants their lone source of excitement and joy stripped from their life, so make sure you lock up a win with the best PPR rankings in the business.
Tier 1 – Potential Top Scorer
1. Rob Gronkowski (NE) @ BUF
2. Jordan Reed (WAS) @ CIN QUESTIONABLE – He has practiced all week, and all signs point to a return in London. He’s the one elite tight end talent with a solid matchup as well, making him a sneaky daily target.
3. Jimmy Graham (SEA) @ NO
Tier 2 – TE1 Options
4. Greg Olsen (CAR) vs. ARI
5. Delanie Walker (TEN) vs. JAC
6. Travis Kelce (KC) @ IND
7. Gary Barnidge (CLE) – All signs point to his boy Josh McCown returning as the starter, which is huge for Barnidge’s ceiling. We could see a vintage 100 yard, 1 TD effort against a hapless Jets defense that is easily bottom 10 against the position.
8. Kyle Rudolph (MIN) @ CHI
9. Tyler Eifert (CIN) vs. WAS
10. Jack “Beanstalk” Doyle (IND) vs. KC
11. Martellus Bennett (NE) @ BUF
Tier 3 – TE2s you can start
12. C.J. Fiedorowicz (HOU) vs. DET – Couldn’t say his name if you paid me a $1,000,000, but I can point out he’s topped double digit PPR points in three of the past four, including two TDs in that span. The Lions bleed TDs to TEs, making this giant white goon actually viable.
13. Cameron Brate (TB) vs. OAK
14. Julius Thomas (JAC) @ TEN
15. Coby Fleener (NO) vs. SEA
16. Hunter Henry (SD) @ DEN – Banged up and facing a tough secondary, Henry will be tough to trust
17. Eric Ebron (Det) @ HOU
18. Zach Ertz (PHI) @DAL
19. Zach Miller (CHI) vs. MIN
Tier 4 – Wake me up inside (I can’t wake up)
20. Jason Witten (DAL) vs. PHI
21. Charles Clay (BUF) vs. NE
22. Jacob Tamme (ATL) vs. GB
23. Antonio Gates (SD) @ DEN
24. Richard Rodgers (GB) @ ATL
25. Jermaine Gresham (ARI) @ CAR – Shocker special!
