When to Draft a Tight End in Your Fantasy Football League

Fantasy football is a game of relativity and, relatively speaking, the tight end position sucks. Last season, for example, by the time you got to the overall fantasy TE6 in Half-PPR scoring (Evan Engram, 140.4 points), you already had the equivalent of the fantasy RB31 (Latavius Murray, 140.7 points) or the fantasy WR36 (George Pickens, 140.5 points). We need to be aiming for tight ends who have the upside of finishing the season as the highest-scoring player at the position or ceding the position to stream guys in fantastic matchups.
