Summary

We tend to think TE is deep every year, but seriously is this the year that TE is actually deep!? And how should that affect your strategy in drafts? We give you several draft options on today's TE preview and our overall TE strategy (7:45) which includes a lengthy discussion about George Kittle and Travis Kelce ... Who are our favorite late-round targets (22:00)? Should you draft two of these guys? Find out why Noah Fant, Blake Jarwin and Jonnu Smith have a lot of potential ... Sleepers (31:40), breakouts (37:15) and busts (45:30) at the position. We've got some Jared Cook, Tyler Higbee and Austin Hooper disagreements, some hope for Evan Engram and some love for T.J. Hockenson. And we finish by reviewing ADP (53:40) as we give our thoughts on Mark Andrews, Zach Ertz, Darren Waller, Rob Gronkowski and more ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

In preparation for the 2020 Titan preview, I went back and listen to the first 15 or 20 minutes of

0:56.2

the 2019 Titan preview. And one of our analysts said 2019 was going to be the year of the Titan.

1:04.7

It was said a little bit facetiously, but we talked about the depth of the position and I even

1:09.4

said, Hey, I could figure out ways to get excited about Jordan Reed, Vance McDonald and the Laney Walker.

1:17.1

Yeah, this happens every year with Titan, right? So let's ask Dave, Heath and Ben,

1:47.8

it's a position with a higher bus rate than I could think people realized. It's a position with

1:51.4

a higher injury rate than why the receiver, not quite as high as running back, but there are guys

that don't pan out. We should expect that this year. That doesn't mean that it's not a deep draft

pool, but there's not a lot of guys that we can make pretty good upside cases for.

2:04.0

That was a bit of a non-answer, I'd say. No, I think he's exactly right. It's extremely deep

2:09.4
