While running backs, quarterbacks, and wide receivers receiver most of the attention in fantasy football, the tight end position is becoming increasingly important. We make some tight end fantasy football rankings here in a way-too-early fashion.
- Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs
Kelce led all tight ends in fantasy points last year and if anything he should see an increase in usage this year with the release of Jeremy Maclin. He finished first in yards and second in receptions among all tight ends. I would normally give this spot to Rob Gronkowski but with his injury history I’ll take the more reliable Kelce above him this year.
