Week 17 Fantasy Football TE Picks

Darren Waller vs TB

Darren Waller has caught six touchdowns in seven games this season. Tampa Bay has struggled to stop the pass (27th against the pass in 2025), which opens things up for Waller.

Tua Tagovailoa is unlikely to start in Week 17, according to Mike McDaniel via a Sunday ESPN report. It remains to be seen whether Quinn Ewers can maintain the same level of performance. Waller was productive by tight end standards in Week 16, so if Ewers can find the end zone, it is likely to be through Waller.

Kyle Pitts Sr. vs LAR

Kyle Pitts Sr. proved earlier this season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that he can dominate an ill-prepared secondary. Pitts' three touchdowns and 166 yards on Dec. 11 are recent enough evidence that another fantasy football explosion could be on the way.

With Los Angeles linebackers likely to stuff the run and focus on Bijan Robinson, it could leave Pitts wide open as the biggest option for Atlanta on the field in the contest.

Tyler Warren @JAX

Jacksonville could have one of its most explosive offensive games of the season against the struggling Indianapolis Colts defense, which is coming off a game in which it surrendered 40 points. If that happens, Tyler Warren could see a significant slice of a 60-pass game from Philip Rivers as the team tries to keep pace.

Warren's floor will be sky-high in the contest, with linebackers focused on stopping Jonathan Taylor as well. If you need someone you can trust for your fantasy football squad, go with the rookie.
