The 2024 fantasy tight finish outcomes are in (months in the past) and we’ve ourselves some new blood atop the tight finish rankings. Previously we’ve put religion in rookie tight ends and most of the time we’ve ended up disenchanted. Properly, for 2 years in a row now, a rookie has not simply been a great fantasy play, however has led the place in fantasy factors. Two seasons in the past it was Lions tight finish Sam LaPorta and final yr it was the Raiders Brock Bowers. Add in Tre McBride, and younger tight ends are firmly on the prime of the fantasy ranks.
Will one other rookie TE lead the league in fantasy factors for a 3rd straight yr?
This season we as soon as once more have some excessive profile rookie tight ends to debate. The Bears grabbed Colston Loveland with the tenth decide within the first spherical, whereas the Colts took Tyler Warren at 14th total. Each have robust capacity and naturally draft capital, however Loveland has a greater scenario and ought to be higher at profitable targets his rookie yr.
Loveland additionally has Ben Johnson, who simply two season in the past helped LaPorta to that No. 1 fantasy spot. We will’t anticipate him to steer the place in fantasy factors, however he’s very a lot draftable in re-draft leagues.
Yearly there are a powerful group of tight ends who look poised to take a step ahead and yearly we watch as these gamers find yourself failing to take action. The place wants a variety of issues to go proper for them to garner the targets wanted to prime 80 receptions and 1,000 yards. And if you add in landing variance, it’s robust to seek out any sort of consistency to your pretend groups. I like some later spherical tight ends like Chig Okonkwo, Brenton Unusual, and Tucker Kraft, however I wouldn’t like it in the event that they had been my starters. On the very least, I’d wish to seize two later spherical tight ends to double my possibilities of discovering a helpful fantasy participant.
