The Tight Ends Poised to Smash in the FFPC and Beyond

Conor O’Driscoll
August 12, 2022

Your tight end strategy is one of the defining pillars of a draft. It is arguably the most important decision you will ever make (in fantasy football). Like quarterback, it is also often one of the most overlooked elements of roster construction. A key part of this decision is whether or not to use an early pick on a tight end. The factors that drive this decision are:

The ceiling of the available tight ends
The opportunity cost of other positions
The viability of the tight ends available later
Luck: there are a finite number of elite options available and not every drafter can get one

I recently examined if early tight ends still provide the same edge on half-PPR sites like Underdog. I’ve previously gone into detail as to how much an elite TE supercharges Zero-RB, Anchor RB, and Hyperfragile constructions.
