What's up, friends, and welcome into Fantasy Pros.

This is the Fantasy Football Podcast.

0:09.1

I'm Chris Welsh, and we are back talking about some tight-in ranks.

0:12.7

But we're going to go further.

0:14.2

We did ranks last time.

0:15.8

We're now going to be talking about tight-in tiers.

0:17.9

Plus, who are the must drafts, bus the sleepers an in-depth conversation

0:23.1

at the fantasy pros tears on the tight-in ranks and to do it with me we've got pat fitzmore's and

0:28.2

scott bogman both here to shed a little bit of light on what they agree with on their own

0:33.9

tiers who they completely disagree with their and they're going to be doing the ones, the must targets, the steals, the da-da-da. And Pat, I know, you know, it's going to be kind of intertwined into this conversation, but you have been very pro-early tight-end. We talked about it when we did the kind of very first, you know, version 1.0 of the rankings episodes we did, you're very pro early tight-end.

0:55.4

So these first three tiers are going to be very important kind of to your drafting strategy

1:37.1

tiers as we're going to be talking about these? What tier do you think you're going to live in?

1:40.4

I prefer early. So I want a high end, tight end for sure this season. You know, the top three guys in the tier, I think is a strong one. That's where I want to buy from most of the time. If I don't get that, I'm going to do what I do in the normal years where I wait and I piecemeal it together because I do think there's a lot of depth, but I prefer to buy out of that

2:01.7

top bin. Well, you guys can play along with us. If you go to fantasy pros.com slash rankings, you can see the ranking. And then you can see the tiers that we're actually talking about here. You can reference the tiers. Things will change. So I'll just, you know, point out to you, I mean, even between us recording this and this posting, there could be a slight difference.
