Five Tight Ends to Target in the Late Rounds of Best Ball Drafts

When it comes to tight ends in fantasy football, the accepted wisdom is that you either take them early in drafts, or you take them late. In 2021, taking one early would likely mean spending a first-round pick on Travis Kelce, or landing George Kittle in the second. Or perhaps you really keep your powder dry and wait until round three to land Darren Waller. Whatever your fancy.

Say we follow the conventional wisdom, and don’t take any of these three players but choose to wait until the double-digit rounds before addressing the TE spot in our rosters. This year, Mark Andrews will not be on your squad. You will not be cheering for T.J. Hockenson. Yes, you won’t be affected by either the greatest rookie TE season in NFL history from Kyle Pitts or another first-year player who takes his time acclimating to the league.

So Round 10 has finally come around, and it is time for us to start thinking about taking a TE. Who should we be looking at? Here are five players with current Fanball ADPs in the 10th round for later.

Lead Writer, soft spot for the tight end position. Will never stop loving Duke Johnson.

Planting Flags: Who Are the RotoViz Writer’s “Guys” in the 2024 NFL Draft?

With the 2024 NFL Draft mere days away, I thought it would be a good idea to let the readers know who are the apples of the RotoViz team’s eyes in this particular draft class. Not necessarily the best player, or the most discussed, but the players who have perhaps flown somewhat under the radar, but whose landing spot is something we will be watching…...

Sam LaPorta and his Merry Men: The 2023 Rookie Tight End Review

Sam LaPorta enjoyed one of the better rookie seasons for a tight end in NFL history. But he wasn’t the only fresh-faced newbie to come into the NFL at fantasy sports’ most toxic position in 2023. Indeed, the position has received a healthy boost of young talent in recent years. This talent is set to fill the void left by the inevitable drop-off from Travis…...

Noah Fant: The More Things Stay the Same, the More They Change

It may have surprised some when Noah Fant, hitting free agency for the first time in his NFL career, decided to stay with the Seattle Seahawks. Fant signed a two-year deal, which left me scratching my head initially. I had high hopes for Fant landing on a new team, with the promise of an expanded role in an offense and a chance to finally realize…...
