Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tight Ends (Half-PPR)

There haven’t been many right answers for fantasy football managers at the tight end position this year, but one of those few right answers has to be George Kittle, right?

The 31-year-old tight end currently ranks TE1 overall, averaging 14.08 fantasy points per game, ranks second among tight ends with 375 receiving yards, and leads the cohort with five receiving touchdowns. His arrow continues to point upward for the rest of the season after it was announced that star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk suffered a season-ending knee injury. Then there’s the unfortunate news that WR Deebo Samuel was hospitalized with pneumonia. Unfortunately, he sustained a foot injury and will be deemed fit to play after Week 8. Assuming he’s ready to go on Sunday, he’ll be tasked with all the work he can handle.

If you weren’t lucky enough to snag George Kittle in drafts — or Brock Bowers, who quietly leads the position in catches (47) and receiving yards (477) — then you might need some help. Here’s a look at our team’s Week 8 tight end rankings to help inform your starting/sitting decisions at one of fantasy’s most difficult positions:
