Tight End Sleepers, Values & Breakouts
I’m typically going to target Travis Kelce in the first round, Mark Andrews in the third round or T.J. Hockenson in the fourth round, but there are quite a few fallback options if that plan goes awry.
Below are several Values, Breakout Candidates, and Sleepers that fantasy managers should consider as drafts get into the middle and late rounds.

Values
Tyler Higbee, Rams
Look, I get it. Drafting Tyler Higbee is kind of gross, but hear me out. Higbee jumps out as a major value given his early 11th/12th-round ADP and the lack of target competition in the Rams receiver room outside of Cooper Kupp. Higbee saw 108 targets last season and it’s possible that he beats that mark with Matthew Stafford back in the fold. He was fourth among tight ends in targets and finished as the fantasy TE9. This season is setting up in a similar way, though his touchdowns could spike with Stafford’s return. He lacks breakout appeal, but given his usage, he should be able to post solid TE1 numbers. For managers who want to punt the position and load up elsewhere, Higbee is the right target.
