| 0:00.0 | Can you guess who's in tier one in Dave's tight end tears? Let's find out. I'm fantasy football |
| 0:08.4 | today in five. Okay, we've kept you in suspense for long enough. Dave, your first tier is entitled |
| 0:14.4 | Kelsey. So of course that means it's Eric Ebrook. Right. Now, it's Kelsey, head and shoulders |
| 0:20.2 | above the rest. Let's move forward. Tier two Right. Now, it's Kelsey, head and shoulders above the rest. |
| 0:21.1 | Let's move forward. |
| 0:22.4 | Tier two is? Well, we've named this tier the Waller-Kiddle tier. Darren Waller, George Kittle. These are tight ends that you should expect to see go from the middle of round two into early mid-round three, if you're lucky. yeah George Kittleittle, last I saw, was kind of in the middle of, Kittle in the middle of round three. Yeah, he's going 31st, 32nd overall, so that's nice. Kittle in the middle, but he's got much back. I'd rather have Travis Kelsey sixth overall or George Kittl 30th overall. Kittl 30th overall. Love Kelsey. Make no mistake about it, but there are at least six other running backs I would take ahead |
| 0:57.9 | of Kelsey in round one. |
| 0:59.6 | Okay. |
| 0:59.9 | In an unrealistic scenario, I would rather have Kelsey 10th overall or Kittal 30th overall. |
| 1:06.1 | I think at that point I would take Kelsey. |
| 1:08.4 | Okay. |
| 1:09.0 | Well, wait, but what's the format? |
| 1:45.3 | 0.85 PPR take Kelsey. Okay. Well, wait, but what's the format? 0.85 PPR. Kelsey. Okay. All right. So then after that, what's your third tier? This is where things get fun. Rounds five through seven. I think these guys are going to be weekly starters. You'll draft them. You won't think twice about benching them. Hopefully that's the case. In PPR, it's T.J. Hawkinson, followed by Mark Andrews. Then there's Kyle Pitts. And then I think the guy that lands closer to round seven than round five is Dallas Goddard. But he's in this tier. I would flip the top two names if it's non-PPR. Andrews ahead of Hawkinson, pits after that, and then Goddard bringing up the rear again. Yeah, Goddard, I feel like, is sort of in his own tier for you, |
| 1:51.3 | in a sense. He is. I'm a little bit worried about how much volume he'll get in this offense. I know |
| 1:57.1 | that we had a great conversation on our main podcast about him and Zach Ertz. And if Ertz leaves, that leaves a lot of target volume for all the tight ends. But I'm not sure it's going to be that much volume. The offense is changing this year. Devante Smith is there. Jalen Hertz is there. So I'm a little concerned about Goddard being great. I think he's going to be solid. |
| 2:19.6 | I think he can be a tight end that you can start every week, |
| 2:33.8 | and you'll just accept when he gets you 12 ppr, 13 ppr points. That'll be on the high side. There'll be plenty of weeks where he's giving you 8, 9, 10. You'll deal with that. You'll accept that for around 7 pick a tight end. That's fine. yeah so he'll be good ert perfect |
| 2:35.5 | yeah good well done |
| 2:36.5 | and it's almost like good earths. You know, you could make that pun too. All right, so then you don't have Noah fan. You're not as high on Noah fan as Heath is. We had a nice debate about that, but Noah fan is part of your next group, which is upside guys. But how would you describe the next four players and your next four players, which are tier |
| 2:53.4 | four for you? |
| 2:54.3 | I think upside is the perfect word for them. |
| 2:56.4 | It's Irv Smith. |
