“#Tight end position is emerging strength<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n While fantasy football<\/a> owners continue to stress over the injuries to elite running backs and receivers, few realize the emerging strength from the tight end position.<\/p>\n

Those who play daily fantasy football on FanDuel and Draft Kings are getting a better look at the depth of the position \u2014 as many of the top tight ends like Travis Kelce, George Kittle and Mark Andrews are playing in prime-time game<\/a>s and are unavailable for the Sunday main slate. This isn\u2019t to say you need to be playing more DFS. It\u2019s more an indictment of how this position should no longer be considered a throwaway in fantasy.<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s the change at quarterback that has everyone nervous, but Noah Fant is a rising star in this league. He is fifth in the league at his position with 27 targets, fourth in receiving yards and has two touchdowns in four games. Of all positions in fantasy, tight end shows the least decline with a change at the quarterback position, as a number of backups lean on the short-passing game that features the position.<\/p>\n

If the Titans ever get over their COVID-19 outbreak, you need to get yourself some shares of Jonnu Smith. Even with the impending return of wide receiver A.J. Brown, Smith sits second in the targets pecking order for this team. He and Ryan Tannehill have an on-field rapp<\/a>ort that dates back to last season, and it was still evident during their first two games this season.<\/p>\n

The depth at the position doesn\u2019t end there. Jimmy Graham has found the Fountain of Youth in Chicago, Dalton Schultz is a featured target in a high-octane Dallas offense, and Mo Alie-Cox is becoming much more well-known outside of just Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

Keep a close watch on this position moving forward. As the other positions thin out, you can find plenty of fantasy points here. No one ever said you couldn\u2019t use a tight end in your flex, did they?<\/p>\n
