Each year, tight ends were consistently a big advantage within the Top-3 – Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews and George Kittle. They were, for a few seasons, the only difference-makers in the position and if you didn’t reach one of them, most drafters just waited until at least Round 6 to draft one, and it would be about Round 11 before all teams had their TE1.
Not anymore.
For tight ends, 2023 was a historic shift. It was well established that rookie tight ends never had fantasy relevancy until their second season at the earliest. But that was all shattered. Kelce and Kittle still delivered but Mark Andrews missed six games.
