The fantasy football playoffs wrap up in Week 17 with the conclusion of the NFL regular season.
Fantasy football rankings, 2016: Tight ends for Week 17
The SB Nation fantasy crew rank the 25 best tight ends heading into Week 17 with a championship in reach.

From beginning to end, it’s been a wild year in terms of fantasy tight ends. We have seen guys like Cameron Brate, Hunter Henry, and Kyle Rudolph come out of nowhere to be solid contributors.
We have also seen big-name guys like Rob Gronkowski, Tyler Eifert, and Jordan Reed fail to live up to their fantasy potential because of injuries. You have hopefully had the fortune of having one of the surprise tight ends vs. spending a high draft pick on one who failed you in the fantasy playoffs.
Now, it’s time to finish strong and go get yourself a fantasy championship.
