1	Travis Kelce Draft Note Travis Kelce finished TE2, but it was a down year by his standards. His 984 yards were his fewest since 2015, and well off his 2016-2022 average of 1,230 yards per season. His 11.5 per-game average (half-PPR) was a pretty significant drop from 2022 (15.9) and 2021 (13.7). Both his yards per reception (10.6) and his yards per target (8.1) were career-lows. I think it’s safe to say that the soon-to-be 35-year-old’s elite production days are behind him, though he still offers high-end TE1 production in the Chiefs’ potent offense.	KC	6	333	3.01	3.05	2	1	86	952	5.5	50.5	1
2	Sam LaPorta Draft Note Sam LaPorta finished as the fantasy TE1 as a rookie, which is an incredible accomplishment given the history of rookies at the position. It’s unusual for rookie tight ends to find immediate success, but LaPorta posted 86 catches for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns. Those were the most catches, the second-most yards (to Kyle Pitts), and the most touchdowns (tied with Rob Gronkowski) among rookie tight ends since 2003. LaPorta’s position-leading 196.3 half-PPR fantasy points were just the 19th-most by a tight end since 2010. He’s a good bet to repeat as the TE1 since he should only get better in his second season, and his excellent environment in the Detroit offense is unchanged.	DET	5	333	3.06	3.10	1	-1	81	862	9.2	46.3	1
3	Trey McBride Draft Note Trey McBride saw a bump in playing time in Week 8 and was the fantasy TE4 the rest of the way. He had the fourth-highest yards per route run (2.08) among tight ends in that span, and garnered the third-most targets (8.5 per game). The third-year tight end should serve as the No. 2 option behind rookie Marvin Harrison Jr., but Harrison’s arrival might put a dent in McBride’s heavy late-season usage.	ARI	11	293	4.07	5.03	4	1	73	904	3.9	46.4	1
4	Mark Andrews Draft Note Mark Andrews was the TE4 on a per-game basis and the TE3, T.J. Hockenson, may miss the start of the season as he recovers from an ACL tear. Entering his age-29 season, Andrews should be fully healthy after missing a big chunk of time late last season with a nasty ankle injury. Since his rookie season, he has never averaged less than 50 yards per game and has averaged 0.48 touchdowns per game in his last three seasons. If he can play 16 games at those rates, he’s looking at 800 yards and 7.7 touchdowns.	BAL	14	289	4.09	5.05	3	-1	69	751	8.4	40.1	1
5	Evan Engram Draft Note Evan Engram led all tight ends in targets (143), catching 114 passes for 963 yards and four scores. Calvin Ridley was replaced by rookie Brian Thomas and Gabe Davis, so Engram’s role should be relatively unchanged. In other words, he might lead his position in targets again. He turns 30 in September, so a drop in production is possible, but far from certain.	JAX	12	284	6.03	7.03	8	3	88	696	3.5	41.4	1
6	Dalton Kincaid Draft Note Dalton Kincaid was the fantasy TE15 as a rookie, though he flashed TE1-type production when Dawson Knox was out of the lineup. In five games without Knox, Kincaid averaged 6.2 catches for 56 yards and 0.40 touchdowns on 7.4 targets per game. (He averaged 3.8-36-0.0 on 4.9 targets in 11 games with Knox, which is a bit worrisome since Knox is returning.) Yes, Stefon Diggs (160 targets) and Gabe Davis (81) are gone, so there are a ton of targets up for grabs. Kincaid should easily see 7-8 targets per game, but there’s no guarantee that will happen with Knox soaking up tight end snaps. Kincaid was 14th in yards per route run, though he was 10th from Week 8 to Week 13, while Knox was out. It would be coaching malpractice for the Bills to take Kincaid off the field consistently given the loss of Diggs and Davis, so I'm betting on a consistent uptick in usage. Also, while Kincaid has already broken out, tight ends tend to make their biggest leap from year one to year two.	BUF	12	283	5.02	5.10	5	-1	77	738	5.5	40.9	0
7	Kyle Pitts Draft Note Flashback to the 2021 season: Kyle Pitts is a rookie and has a competent quarterback (Matt Ryan) and offensive coordinator (Dave Ragone) willing to feature him. He catches 68-of-110 targets for 1,026 yards and one score. (He should have caught 4.1 touchdowns, according to 4for4’s expected touchdowns per our data scientist Kevin Zatloukal.) That year, he finished as the TE5 and had the third-best fantasy season by a rookie tight end since the 2000 season. He posted the fourth-highest yards per route run at his position. The last two seasons have been major disappointments, but Pitts has been dealing with subpar quarterback play and a play-caller in Arthur Smith who often refused to feature his best players. Now he has Kirk Cousins throwing the ball and Zac Robinson (of Sean McVay’s coaching tree) calling the plays. I think he has a great chance to see 100+ targets and pick up where he left off as a rookie.	ATL	12	276	5.12	6.10	6	-1	73	753	4.9	40.8	1
8	George Kittle Draft Note Last season, George Kittle averaged 5.1 targets per game in 14 games with Deebo Samuel, and saw 18 targets in the two games Samuel missed. In the six games that Samuel has missed over the last two seasons, Kittle has averaged 5.2 receptions for 84 yards and 1.0 touchdown. He’s basically THE fantasy TE1 when Samuel is out and just another TE1 when Samuel is active. Keep in mind that Kittle is entering his age-31 season, though his advanced metrics are still elite.	SF	9	268	5.07	6.05	7	-1	57	877	5.2	42.5	0
9	David Njoku Draft Note David Njoku finished the season as the TE5 in half-PPR scoring, setting career-highs in receptions (81), yards (882), and touchdowns (6). He is the TE9 off the board in early drafts, but I think he can be lumped in a tier that includes Jake Ferguson, Dallas Goedert, Brock Bowers, Cole Kmet, and perhaps Taysom Hill and Dalton Schultz as well. Njoku simply has not produced consistently with Deshaun Watson. In the 11 games that they’ve played together over the past two seasons, Njoku has averaged just 3.8-36-0.27 on 5.7 targets per game while posting 5.1-59-0.37 on 7.4 targets per game in the 19 games played with literally anyone else at quarterback. Unless those splits are an aberration, Njoku is unlikely to live up to his TE9 ADP.	CLE	10	244	8.01	9.05	10	1	66	623	5.1	34.8	1
10	Jake Ferguson Draft Note Jake Ferguson was one of my favorite late-round tight ends last year and he didn’t disappoint, finishing TE8 versus a TE23 positional ADP. Our own Matt Okada found that Ferguson should have scored an additional 3.6 touchdowns to meet his expected touchdown opportunity. We saw some regression immediately after the season as he caught three touchdowns in the Cowboys’ playoff loss to the Packers. Had he scored an additional 3.8 touchdowns he would have finished TE6 instead of TE8. (He led his position with 12 targets inside the 10-yard line.) As the TE9 off the board, Ferguson is probably the last TE1-type that I’d feel comfortable rolling with as my only tight end.	DAL	7	244	7.07	8.09	9	-1	61	653	5.8	34.9	0

What is the best draft position in SFB14 drafts?

There is an argument for all three parts of the draft in SFB14 as the top few picks are guaranteed an elite QB in this superflex format. In the middle of the draft you are in a good spot to not miss out on any crazy runs, and if you select at the end of the draft order, drafters can take advantage of the third-round reversal and get three picks within the first 25 players.

What is the best draft strategy in SFB14 drafts?

With the scoring as crazy as it is, there is no best strategy for SFB14. In a tournament of this size, being different helps so try to think outside of the box when drafting.

What is SFB14 ADP?

ADP, or Average Draft Position,indicates the average spot where players are being selected in drafts. Tracking SFB14 ADP helps you anticipate when players will be available and strategize your picks effectively, maximizing value.

What is the best first-round pick in SFB14 Drafts?

There is no right answer here, as it depends on your specific strategy going into the SFB14 draft. It is a Superflex format with an emphasis on the rushing quarterback, so if you would like to have an elite quarterback, then select Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, or Lamar Jackson. Only one RB needs to start in 2024, so grabbing a top rusher like Christian McCaffrey or Breece Hall could be the way to get out to a solid start. The scoring is also TE premium, so taking Travis Kelce or Sam LaPorta may also serve you well.
