Top Fantasy Tight Ends of 2017
Is Rob Gronkowski still the best tight end in football? Travis Kelce and a slew of rookie tight ends are looking to change things in 2017.
2017 was possibly the best tight end draft class ever. With 5 tight ends taken in the first 45 picks, it is proof NFL teams are really starting to favor the mismatch of an athletic tight end vs. a smaller safety or slower linebacker.
Is OJ Howard, David Njoku or Evan Engram the next heir to the throne? Is Gronk willing to give it up? Will Zeus have another season like last putting all of these guys out of mind?
