Are there any good free agent tight ends?

0:05.0

Yeah, kind of, sort of.

0:06.0

We'll talk about it right now on Fantasy Football Today in five.

0:09.0

Dave, maybe this will be Fantasy Football today in three.

0:12.0

Who knows? What is the free agent tight end list look like?

0:15.0

Let's start with the tags. We know that Dalton Schultz isn't going anywhere.

0:19.0

Neither is Mike Keseki or David Najoku.

0:39.3

All three of them tag-tied ends. They're going to make over $10 million this year. For the Broncos, Dolphins, and Browns, respectively, the only one that I think is a must-draft and one that I love is Dalton Schultz. So that leaves us with Rob Grancowski. Have you heard of him? He's a free agent. there's talk that he could go to Buffalo.

0:39.2

Zach Ertz is a free agent. There's talk that he could go to Buffalo.

0:49.0

Zach Ertz is a free agent spent last year with Philly and then Arizona. He definitely has something left in the tank. I'd love to see him go to a team like the Chargers, for example.

0:54.3

Might not get a crazy target share there, but could certainly see some really good efficiency. Can still make plays after the catch, certainly still a good set of hands.

0:57.0

And then after that, we've got a bunch of guys that are just, meh, Tyler Cochlin,

1:02.6

C.J. Usama, Gerald Everett, Jared Cook, uh, Robert Tunyon. Remember Robert Tunyon?

1:09.3

He's, he's, he's a free agent. O.J. Howard, I know that Heath would remember him. I know you would remember him, Adam. He's also a free agent. And then after that, there's just nothing left that's really good. Tyler Higby, a potential cab casualty. It doesn't sound like he's going to get cut. Same thing with Logan Thomas. And that's really it at the tight end position very very little

1:29.3

sizzle is a little top heavy you know earths look kind of like he was done going into

1:35.6

2021 and revived himself a little bit had a nice stretch with Arizona commended a lot of targets on

1:41.7

both Philadelphia and Arizona so what do you think the the best destination might be from you mentioned the Chargers? And then if he ends up in an ideal spot, maybe it's the Bills. Who knows? Well, no, the bills wouldn't be great for him. He's not drunk. How high could you see yourself ranking Zacherts? I think he could be a top 10 tight end if he stays right where he is in Arizona.

2:01.2

Look at how he finished last year with the Cardinals his final five games, at least nine PPR points in each of the five. Actually, each of the last four, at least 11 PPR points, very much involved in the offense. And you might say, well, yeah, but there were injuries to wide receivers there and that really opened them up for targets. well, they don't exactly have a ton of whiteouts left over there after free agency. Christian Kirk isn't going to resign. A.J. Green isn't going to be welcome back. Ron Dale Moore will get an upgrade. He'll certainly see more targets. But I think there is a path to Zacherts being the number two target getter in Arizona, which we can't say

2:35.9

if he went to a place like L.A. with the Chargers or even Buffalo. Maybe there's a chance

2:41.7

in Buffalo. He'd be number two, but he'd be pretty close if not just behind somebody like Gabe Davis

2:46.9

as the number two target getter there. Remember, when you're looking for a tight-in and fantasy,

2:50.8

you want someone who's going to be either the first or second target getter. Adam, that was your little gem on the position. And I think it absolutely stands true. Ertz would be in that position, potentially, in Arizona. Yeah. Do you think Dawson Knox could be in that position? If Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders are gone and they don't make a significant upgrade, you
