just dive right into it and starting off in tier one like I've done for the other videos not going overly in depth on every single player you know we're kind of getting right up there with drafts you may have already drafted you want to make some trades it's just like some quick hitter content for you guys and in tier one I've been pretty set on these like top four I know a lot of people have some separation between the leaport Kelce tier and McBride Andrews I think they should be going very very close together so I have Sam leapor number one Travis Kelce number two Trey McBride number number three and Mark Andrews number four and when you look at these four tight ends last year Sam lorta was I believe at 14.1 PPR points per game Travis Kelce was at 14.6 when Trey McBride was made the starter he averaged 15 PPR points per game and then Mark Andrews if you remove the one game where he left with injury last year which ended his regular season he would have been in that 14 to 15 PPR Point per game window so all these dudes were very close together like in their starting healthy games so I just don't think there should be a significant separation between Le port and Kelce compared to Trey McBride and Mark Andrews you can see in My overall rankings they are very very close together now shifting into Tier 2 tier two this is why I have Dalton concade and Kyle pittz I think both these guys are solid picks this year for Dalton conade he was a solid tight end Prospect he has a fantastic situation like potential number one target here for the Josh Allen Le bills you have Stefan Diggs is gone Gabe Davis is gone you have some uncertainty at the wide receiver position maybe Keon Coleman steps up in year one but he's also a rookie not a slam dunk Prospect you have Kurtis Samuel coming in khil Shakir has been on that team but Dalton canc really has the opportunity for a monster year to breakout and then you have Kyle pittz and I've already seen some of the comments some people are just never going to draft Kyle pittz they've been burned you know over the past few years they're just completely out on him I am not out and the reason why is I think he's proven through three years that he is a talented player the dude as a rookie went for over a th000 receiving yards at the tight end position you just don't see that and there's something very clearly different about this season he actually has good quarterback play with Kirk Cousins and Arthur Smith is gone so I feel like if you're someone who's drafted in the past you've been burned like you can just say I'm done with him like that's fine right not really my business but I feel like you're putting yourself in a spot where you already you know took the loss on drafting Kyle pittz and now by completely avoiding him you're just not giving yourself the opportunity to actually capitalize on that breakout so I do think Kyle pittz is a solid player he's a talented guy now finally has the offense around him so I do like Kyle pittz here um in tier 2 and I think he's a really nice pick going like the five six turn a great opportunity to get someone who I do think has a pretty high ceiling but at a little bit of a discount then pivoting into tier three Tier 3 this is where I have George KD and Evan Ingram I know a lot of people would have George KD up in that concade um pits tier and for me I just can't get there as long as Brandon auk is on that roster this is not anti- George KD I think he is a great player I think in a different situation you could probably argue him as high as tier one but he's gone down in points per game um since his second year in the NFL like just consistently lower and lower and lower fantasy points per game so I don't know if he has that Elite upside that maybe we thought he had early on in his career and still could have in a different situation just here with the 49ers I think he's a little bit of a lower ceiling option and then for Evan Ingram I think a lot of people are probably going to overreact to the preseason game where he caught two touchdowns and Evan Ingram was great last year he was a volume monster but the one thing I do want to point out is that the games that he dominated in were the games where Christian Kirk was not playing out with injury so towards the end of last year Christian Kirk was out of the lineup that's when Evan Ingram really dominated commanded a ton of volume um same thing in that preseason game Christian Kirk rested he did not play and that's when Evan Ingram absolutely bowled out so so I do think he can be a pretty high upside guy if Christian Kirk does Miss time but I think that's obviously not the thing we're like expecting here in 2024 so maybe a little bit lower on Ingram than consensus but still a fine pick and I think he's like marginally ahead of the Tier 4 tier four guys which is going to include David and joku Jake Ferguson and Brock Bowers I don't know if there's going to be a ton of consensus within this tier I think a lot of people are going to prefer Jake Ferguson and I think that's totally fine I think when you're looking at the situation Jake Ferguson is is definitely in a much better spot he's probably going to be the number two Target on this cowboys offense he's going to have a lot of touchdown upside for me I just give David and joku the edge here purely based on talent I think David and joku in the right situation could be producing up with those guys in tier one it's just that he's with us like DeShawn Watson Le Browns we saw last year he absolutely tore it up to end the season when he was playing with Joe flacko so the ability is there it's pretty much just going to come down to how much he is going to be limited by his team's quarter back play but if Watson does end up missing time and we can get some jamus Winston out there just absolutely Chuck into Amari Cooper David and joku I think he's a super fun fantasy option and then the last guy in this tier Brock Bowers super talented talent-wise he would be ranked ahead of this it's just not a great year one situation with the Raiders quarterback play is going to be suspect you have Target competition with Devonte Adams Jobe Myers but I do think his preseason usage was pretty encouraging they were moving him all over the place he was was playing out wide he was playing in the slot he was playing in line then I'm lining up in the back field so I do think you know they're going to get him involved creatively it should be fun I just don't know what the ceiling is here um in year one moving into tier five Tier 5 only two guys here it's going to be Dallas GD and TM Hill Dallas GD just feels like a very Bland pick he doesn't have a ton of upside he has not you know shown any upside so far in his NFL career but he's a safe option you missed on the first 11 you want a safe player I think he's a fine pick and then Tamm Hill is just someone who I continue to get higher and higher on it's just a situation where when you look at this Saints offense Tamm Hill is going to have a role you know I was someone who didn't really love chimra fantasy-wise thought he would lose work but you're looking at that running back room Kendra Miller's on IR Camaro was not great last year I think Tamm Hill he's going to run some routes he's going to have a few trick plays here there but I also think he's going to get legit work on the ground and if he does have that tight end designation I'd rather Bank on tesm Hill like scoring a rushing touchdown than some of these dudes going after him like getting into the end zone so I like TM Hill I think he's going to have very unique usage but I do think he's like a nice option if you do miss out on one of those top 11 and then looking at tier Tier 6 six we have TJ hackinson Luke Musgrave and Dotan Schultz for hackinson It's just tough to you know kind of rank him here accurately because we just don't know about his injury coming off the Tor ACL obviously not as great of a situation as he had last year Kirk Cousins is gone you have Sam Donn at quarterback proba probably not going to be 100% of the same guy plus you have Target competition with Justin Jefferson Jordan Addison so I think this tier six spot is fair um and then Luke Musgrave I think is interesting we know the Packers are probably going to roll out a wide receiver committee I guess the question is just are they going to do the same thing at the T end position with Luke Musgrave and Tucker craft if they don't I think Luke Musgrave is pretty interesting he was their clear-cut starter early on in the season last year round two pick was a rookie last season um really good Athlete on a good offense I think he's definitely interesting as like a later on flyer then someone who I'm probably lower on the consensus doltan Schultz I just struggle to draft tight ends that aren't competing to be the number two or number three Target on their team you look at this Texans wide receiver room Nico Collins Stefon digs tank Dell with Dolson Schultz I think he's a fine pick in like best ball but in terms of actually being confident throwing him into your lineup it seems like you're just trying to hit in the touchdown department and I just think there are better options out there that I have ranked ahead of him and then tier Tier 7 seven here some guys who maybe I'm cooling off on a little bit some dudes who maybe have some upside to be the number two Target in their offense and then just some flyers here so we have Pat fouth Hunter Henry Tyler Concklin Ben sinate Noah Fant Greg doul Isaiah likeley and then Cole KT so starting off here with Pat fouth he was someone that early on in the off season I mean just a few weeks ago pretty much before preseason I had him ranked in like that tier five area with Dallas Goddard and the upside is that he could be the number two to Target for the Steelers right behind George Pickins they've got pretty much nothing going on at wide receiver fouth even though he was terrible last year his first two seasons he had pretty decent fantasy production unfortunately we are getting Arthur Smith Arthur Smith in this offense because you have Pat FR pretty much splitting the snaps 50/50 with Darnell Washington in the preseason that is not great that is not going to get it done on an offense that is not going to be a good passing attack so I've definitely cooled off on Pat fryou I think the argument for Hunter Henry and Tyler Concklin are pretty similar you're hoping that you know they could be the number two Target on their offenses for Tyler Concklin you have Garrett Wilson and then not a ton else like Mike Williams coming off a season ending injury um not a ton going on at wide receiver and then for Hunter Henry just a proven player Patriots wide receiver room is very young or you've got like veterans who aren't like El leite upside guys so I think both those dudes are just aiming for number two Targets on their rosters Ben cinate is probably someone I'm going to be higher on than most I just think at this point in the draft why not take a flyer on a young second round dude a great athlete this was pretty much the bet you were making with Sam leapor last year also on a team that just traded away Jan doson you have Terry as the clear number one I know Zack hers is there but if CID is good enough he should be able to break out and maybe we get like a Trey McBride esque second half where he was you know kind of playing behind Zack hers he overtakes him and then just does not look back so I think he's interesting and someone where maybe you don't draft him but could be looking for him um on waivers then we have Noah Fant he's been thrown into a tight end by committee over the past couple of seasons and I think he's more talented than you know that situation kind of suggested it's kind of just like the Shane Waldren thing he's going to play three tight ends that's something I'm going to talk about a little bit later on in this video but I think this new Seahawks offense is interesting so someone who's proven to be talented he's been like a backend tight end one fantasy wise um before he got traded to the Seahawks so we'll see how he looks Greg doul is someone who I've you know been fan of the talent on over the past couple of Seasons he just hasn't really been able to stay healthy maybe he can stay healthy and becomes like a solid tight end option um for B Knicks Isaiah likely is literally the like only example of a tight end handcuff where we don't have a ton of fantasy relevant tight ends so if like you know George KD goes down Evan Ingram goes down there's no interest in starting their backup tight end because they're just not going to do anything for you Isaiah likely is the one guy where if Mark Andrews goes down he's probably given you mid-tier tight end one or better production pretty much every game Mark Andrews has been out Isaiah likele has played a very solid role so I don't know if you're like straight up drafting him in redraft maybe in deeper leagues but someone where if Mark Andrews were to get injured he should be an immediate pickup and then the final guy here is going to be Cole KT I understand I'm going to be significantly lower on him than consensus and just hear me out here it's pretty much the same argument I made with Dalton Schultz where he's at best the number four Target behind DJ Moore romad Keenan Allen but it is even worse than doton Schultz because he is no longer a full-time player I talked about Shane Waldren now with the Bears and he is using that tight end by committee Cole KT and Gerald Everett are splitting snaps pretty evenly so if you're telling me you have three stud wide receivers you also have a good pass catching back IND DeAndre Swift and Cole KT is not even a full-time player I just don't see the vision where you actually trust like actually starting him in your redraft lineups like I talked about with Schultz in best ball it's fine you just hit the spike weeks the touchdowns but in terms of actually having to set your lineup and place Cole KT in there like you're shooting for like the five for 50 and a touchdown but there are going to be way more like two for 20s out there where he's just completely giving you nothing so not in on Cole KT this year I'm a Bears fan I think he's a solid player in a different situation I think he'd be a decent pick I just don't think it's in the cards for him this year barring like an extreme amount of injuries or just a complete like usage shift than what we've seen in the preseason which is just not something I'm expecting here so that is going to wrap it up for my top 24 tight ends let me know your guys thoughts if you have any fantasy questions drop them down below I'll make sure to get back to everyone as soon as I can but thank you all for stopping by and I will see you in the next one
