Draft Guide: Tight Ends — deeper than ever in 2020

Draft Guide: Tight Ends — deeper than ever in 2020

Author: Yahoo Sports August 13, 2020 Duration: 40:26

Dalton Del Don is joined by fantasy analyst Marcas Grant of NFL.com and the NFL Network to talk tight ends and much more on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!


Here’s the plan for this week: Every day, we’re dedicating an episode on draft strategy for the big four positions in fantasy football: Quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, and tight ends. We already KOed the QBswe took down the RBs, and we tackled the WRs. Now, Dalton and Marcas tackle the position that’s been a bit of a headache in fantasy drafts, the ends!


After the top 2-3 guys — George Kittle, Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, TE tends to be an afterthought for fantasy managers. The analysts reveal what jumps out when they consider TE ADPs compared to other positions, how they’re approaching the position itself, and what exactly they’re looking for in a good fantasy TE.


They also run down the Tier 1 tight ends — Kittle, Kelce, Andrews, and Zach Ertz — and how they feel about them, along with some other key draft targets at the position, potential busts, sleepers to target late, and finally, they reveal their personal gameplans for drafting tight ends this season.


Remember to stay tuned to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, which will now have FIVE new episodes per week!
