Targets, Touchdowns, and Tight Ends: Projecting 2021 TEs
Over the last decade, the tight end (TE) position in fantasy football has largely been defined by three tiers: the “big names” such as Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham, the “middle tier” with Hall of Famers Jason Witten and Antonio Gates, and “the flyers” (remember Coby Fleener?). It was years like 2013 where eight TEs […]
