Rookies have become a much bigger part of the fantasy football landscape in recent seasons, especially at running back and wide receiver. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for tight ends. They’ve been the “black sheep” of the offensive skill positions, at least as it pertains to players looking to make a fast impact.
Does that mean we’ll see similar outcomes from the 2023 class?
The list of top prospects at the position is deep, with at least one and possibly even two projected to come off the board in the first round of the NFL draft. Michael Mayer out of Notre Dame and Utah’s Dalton Kincaid are the most likely to be first-rounders with Georgia’s Darnell Washington, Luke Musgrave from Oregon State and Tucker Kraft out of South Dakota State rounding out the projected top five.
