2020 Post Draft Top 7 Rookie Tight Ends

May 7, 2020 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 3 Comments

The 2020 tight end class lacks top end talent, but there were 5 players taken on day 2 which bodes well for future production. These will be my final off-season rankings now that we know landing spots and draft capital. For more background information, please check out my initial TE article for details on the players’ profiles and more of the process used to rank the position.

The List!

Rank	Movement	Name	Team	Draft Round
TE1	+1	Adam Trautman	Saints	3
TE2	+1	Cole Kmet	Bears	2
TE3	-2	Brycen Hopkins	Rams	4
TE4	NR	Devin Asiasi	Patriots	3
TE5	NR	Dalton Keene	Patriots	3
TE6	+1	Colby Parkinson	Seahawks	4
TE7	NR	Josiah Deguara	Packers	3

NOTE: There are no tiers for this list, as everyone is going to be a slow burn for fantasy relevance

Top 7 Pre-Draft Rookie TE Rankings 2020

The tight end position is similar to QB in fantasy, in the sense that only an elite player really turns tides for your team. Most TE production is replaceable week in and week out. In 2019 the top 7 tight ends ranged between 16.6 and 13.6 in PPR points per game before a 1.3PPG gap to TE 8. The elite tier was even more dramatic in 2018 when the top 2 TEs averaged 3 PPG more than TE3.

Because of this, in most leagues the TE position is an afterthought on draft day. In dynasty rookie drafts it is difficult to know how to value a TE because 1) they take a while to develop for fantasy and 2) they are so often replaceable compared to other positions. If you are going to take a rookie TE, it better be in an attempt to land a whale.
