Tight End Drafting AdviceTight Ends are traditionally a question mark when it comes to most fantasy football owners. Simply stated, there aren’t enough consistently productive tight ends in the NFL; there aren’t even enough for every fantasy owner in your league to have one. Most NFL teams don’t have large scoring roles for the tight end position, so it’s important to find a tight end that is a basic part of his team’s passing game. So when should you draft your team’s tight end? Inevitably, someone will take Antonio Gates in the 3rd or 4th round of almost any fantasy football draft. If you draft him, it may pay off because Gates will be by far the most productive tight end. Make sure before you pick him that there aren’t any great running backs left on the board. Antonio Gates is on par with or better than most wide receivers in the league. If you don’t draft Antonio Gates, try drafting one of the second class tight ends in the league, as they will be the only other consistent scorers at the tight end position, save a couple of sleepers. In most fantasy football drafts, plan on drafting these tight ends between the 6th through 8th rounds. In the late rounds of the fantasy football draft, any tight end that you draft is risky. Once the known point scoring tight ends are gone, the only players left won’t be worth the pick. It will probably be better to watch for free agent tight ends after the first week or two of the football season. |
