Summary

Dalton Del Don is joined by fantasy analyst Marcas Grant of NFL.com and the NFL Network to talk tight ends and much more on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!Here’s the plan for this week: Every day, we’re dedicating an episode on draft strategy for the big four positions in fantasy football: Quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, and tight ends. We already KOed the QBs, we took down the RBs, and we tackled the WRs. Now, Dalton and Marcas tackle the position that’s been a bit of a headache in fantasy drafts, the ends!After the top 2-3 guys — George Kittle, Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, TE tends to be an afterthought for fantasy managers. The analysts reveal what jumps out when they consider TE ADPs compared to other positions, how they’re approaching the position itself, and what exactly they’re looking for in a good fantasy TE.They also run down the Tier 1 tight ends — Kittle, Kelce, Andrews, and Zach Ertz — and how they feel about them, along with some other key draft targets at the position, potential busts, sleepers to target late, and finally, they reveal their personal gameplans for drafting tight ends this season.Remember to stay tuned to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, which will now have FIVE new episodes per week!Follow Dalton: @daltondeldonFollow Marcas: @MarcasGCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast. I'm Dalton Del Don, joined by our friend
0:06.6	Marcus Grant from NFL Media. Marcus has been with NFL.com since I believe 2011. He's a big TV star.
0:15.3	You can see him on plenty of platforms. Man, I'm humbled to have you on this very podcast. Thanks, Marcus.
0:20.6	No, I appreciate the
0:21.5	invitation, man. Looking forward to it. It's been a while since you and I have had a chance to
0:25.6	actually conversate, so this would be fun. Yeah, so way back in the day, you were in the original
0:30.0	iteration of a league of leagues, which is this three-sport fantasy league that we've done. I
0:35.2	don't know how many years ago that was, but it's baseball, basketball,
0:38.3	and football. You wisely bowed out right away after two years. There's been a lot of turnover in the
0:42.8	league. It's been craziness, but I'm a madman and I've stayed in it. And I just wanted to bring up
0:46.9	that this last iteration, the Miz won. Not only did the Miz join, but he won. And he sends out these emails that I swear they're in WWE character.
0:57.2	I'm not even sure it's an act at this point or what is real life or not.
1:00.5	But I know no one cares.
1:01.9	I just want to say, well, you left this League of Leagues.
1:03.8	The Miz joined and actually won, and I'm embarrassed.
1:07.1	And I know you would have not let this happen if you were still in it.
1:09.3	But anyway, nice to talk to you.
1:10.9	Adam Rake is back in it actually this year.
1:12.7	But it's a fun, crazy sportness.
1:14.2	And, yeah, the Mizz, man.
1:15.5	It's a good thing to Miz one, because it's not like he's a professional trash talker or anything.
1:18.9	So I'm sure, as you said, you guys aren't hearing a word from here.
