The final episode in our position series. We’ve covered it all to date, but we can’t forget the tight end postiion. More and more viable options have popped up over the last few seasons, but there’s more to the position than being able to catch a pass. Frequent guest Derek Brown (TQE, Fantasy Black Book, Triple T pod) stops by to go over his thoughts about the position. From the rookies to the vets, there are traits and team needs that separate the elite from the rest.
Topics Discussed:
- Nuances to the position
- Metrics used for evaluation
- Drafting tight ends in start ups
- Player situations
- The Big Three
- OJ Howard
- Hunter Henry
- David Njoku
