The tight end position has become less valuable in fantasy football in recent seasons, to the point where I’m on board for making it a premium position or replacing it altogether with an additional flex spot. But for most leagues, tight ends will remain in startling lineups in one form or another.
The good news is that we’re seeing more young tight ends making an impact, as a rookie has either led the position in points or finished in the top four in each of the past four years. That also decreases the number of true breakout candidates in an already thin position for managers, however.
