Tight ends are one of the best positions in football and we put together a list of the best ones to help you prepare for this year’s upcoming draft. The list is based on past production and potential upside this season. These rankings apply to both PPR and Non-PPR leagues. The drop off at tight end is tremendous when comparing the top to the middle of the pack. Luckily, the Redskins do easily boast the best tight end room in the league. They are dynamic in all facets of the game and we are extremely high on all of their stocks this year. Rookies are hard to judge, but this tight end class is looking up to be a very good one. It is never fun when you have a bad tight end and have to debate starting someone from the waivers over him every week. We recommend prioritizing the position during your draft. It can end up making a huge difference.
