The 2023 NFL Draft is almost upon us, which excites both the real and fantasy fan bases across the globe. That brings in a new crop of good, young players who could come right in and make an impact on our fantasy teams. We’ve already covered the top three offensive skill positions, so now it’s time to move on to the tight ends. It hasn’t been a very fruitful spot, at least among rookies, which we learned from my look at the position since 2000. But now, I’ll focus on the first-rounders.
The question for our purposes of course, is how have prominently drafted players at tight end fared in terms of fantasy football production on an historical basis?
Well, I jumped in the fantasy DeLorean for the last time in this exercise, got that sucker up to 88 miles per hour and looked at exactly that. Why? Because by looking at the past, we can often times find trends that help us have success in the future.
