The TE Tiers

Top Tier: Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, George Kittle

• I like to refer to these players as the big 3 because you can’t go wrong with any of them. Travis Kelce is by far the best as he has the 2018 NFL MVP throwing to him in a pass friendly offense and there’s no reason why he wouldn’t end first. Ertz has been very consistent the past few years as him and Wentz have a great connection and he proves to be a great vertical threat in the passing game and Wentz’s favorite target. Kittle is a great option as his after the catch ability is the best in the league. He scores a good amount of touchdowns but he’ll surely lead all tight ends in yards again as Garoppolo loves him.

Mid Tier: Evan Engram, Hunter Henry, O.J. Howard

• Engram is going to get a lot more targets this year as Odell Beckham Jr. is off the team. Engram is also healthy again which should make him better anyway but he was a fantastic TE option in 2017 and he should be even better than 2017 if healthy. Hunter Henry is back after recovering from a torn ACL and he should be getting a boost in targets as Antonio Gates is no longer on the team, and deep threat Tyrell Williams is gone as well. We saw the chemistry between Rivers and Henry before the injury and the talent Henry has, he should bounce back well. Howard was good in the games he was healthy as Jameis Winston loves his tight ends. He will definitely be at the top in touchdowns for tight ends and have a nice year.
