There is no fantasy football waiver wire in the NFL playoffs - it's mostly a week to week game. Each round, you will be able to enter DFS contests, and you'll need a tight end when setting your lineups.
If you aren't in the business of shelling out top dollar amounts for your tight ends in daily leagues, then you've come to the right place. Below are my lesser owned Conference Round DFS options for DraftKings.
Let's get to it. Good luck with your DFS lineups RotoBallers.

Conference Round DFS Tight Ends
I know this column is supposed to be about lesser owned TEs, but we're down to just four teams, which makes things tight and the Jaguars do not have a clear TE. Basically, you have no choice but to go with Rob Gronkowski. Kyle Rudolph costs $4,500 and Zach Ertz $5,300.
Rudolph has not produced in weeks. Ever since injuring his ankle, he just hasn't looked right and the on field results reflect the same. As for Ertz, the connection with Foles hasn't been there. Gronk is so far and away the best TE, which he proved again last week scoring a touchdown in his sixth consecutive postseason game. With limited options, he's the only option.
Rob Gronkowski (TE, NE) - $7,900 on DraftKings
Rob Gronkowski is actually the second most expensive player in the player pool. He is $200 cheaper than Dion Lewis, but more expensive than literally everyone else. Since he plays TE and the overall choices aren't great with fantasy goldmines like the Steelers and Saints eliminated, you have to put Gronk on your team. He's not only the best TE available by a wide margin, but he's the best pass catcher in general.
