Hello everybody and welcome to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score.

Thank you for joining us again.

My co-host is here, David P. Woods.

He's sitting right across from me.

And David is a man who claims that he can beat anyone in our office in a 40-yard dash.

We've even discussed briefly shutting down the very busy street out front of our office just to make this happen.

Woods, are you still standing by that claim? I mean, I don't think it's that bold of a claim. Part of it is couch and the fact that just I'm one of the only people in the office I know who sprints. I mean, I'm a 35-year-old man. I'm not super fast, but, you know, I play in a fairly competitive touch football league. I run full speed sometimes. Can you say you do you ever run full

speed? A hundred percent. I run full speed. When are you running full speed? I will not concede to you that you can even beat me, let alone everyone in this office. Let's pause the recording and go run right now and I'll dust you. I'm way faster than you. I'm the fastest guy in the office. All right. We are going to have to

test this out one day. I think it's gotten to that point. Today we're going to be looking at the

tight end landscape, the same way we've looked at quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers

in recent episodes. So we're going to be giving you our breakout candidates, who we think's going to

bust this year, some sleepers, a few risky picks, potential bounceback players.

And as always, the tight ends who we think are going to lead you to a fantasy title this year.

And then we're going to finish it off with a few bold predictions.

And if you like what you're hearing, make sure you're subscribing to the podcast.

And you can rate and review us as well. We would love to hear what you have to say. Once you've done that,

jump over to the score app, check out our fantasy football content, including our very up-to-date

and very free draft kit. It is essential for you to win your league this year. You have to be going through that. You can have it in the palm of your hand during your draft. There is no excuse to not check that out. All right, let's get into tight ends here, Woods. And let's start off as we always do with the guys who we think are going to break out. Who do you got as a break-o candidate this year? Okay, I'm going to start with what is a bit of a pop quiz.

It's not a trick question, but I think it's a question that our listeners might not all know the answer to. I know you know the answer to this boon, but do you know who finished first and second in yardage among rookie tight ends last season? The first answer is pretty easy. it's Evan Engram who soaked up targets on a Giants offense that really had no one else to throw to.

The second is less obvious. You might think it's O who soaked up targets on a Giants offense that really had no one else to throw to.

The second is less obvious. You might think it's OJ Howard, David and Joku. They were both first-round picks in the NFL, but it isn't. It's George Kittle, who caught 43 passes for 515 yards and two touchdowns completely under the radar for the San Francisco 49ers. He also did it while battling injuries for most of the season,
