NFL Fantasy Football divisional playoffs: Tight end rankings

Every lineup decision becomes extremely magnified in the Fantasy Football leagues for the NFL Playoffs. The pool of players is much smaller than in traditional leagues during the regular season, while the length of the playoff format lasts just four weeks compared to 16 or more during the regular season. Managers must be sharp with every choice they make in postseason formats.

While tight ends are one of the most challenging positions to navigate in any format of Fantasy Football, the divisional round of the 2022 NFL Playoffs will present managers with plenty of opportunities at elite options.

Six of the top 12 highest-scoring tight ends during the regular season are featured on one of the eight remaining teams in the NFL Playoffs.

The field of tight end options will get a significant boost this week as compared to the Wild Card round.

Travis Kelce and Dallas Goedert will once again be available for fantasy lineups as the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles come off their bye weeks.

Kelce is the highest scoring tight end this season, while Goedert is one of only seven tight ends averaging more than seven fantasy points per game.

Four additional tight ends are entering the Divisional round on notable hot streaks. Dalton Schultz, George Kittle, and Evan Engram have all recorded a TE1 finish at least once in the last six weeks of the Fantasy Football season, while Dawson Knox has scored a touchdown in each of his last five consecutive games. They will all look to carry their momentum into this crucial week.

This is one of the most loaded weeks for tight ends, especially considering how weak the position can often be on a weekly basis. Choosing the right one in Fantasy Football this week can be the difference between winning and losing. The following rankings can help fantasy managers do so.
