0:00.0 | If you're drafting a tight end in fantasy football this year, there's a good chance you're targeting the wrong ones. |
0:05.2 | Because there are a ton of tight ends who are getting drafted way sooner than they should. |
0:08.9 | But when you dive deeper, it's clear that there are four tight ends you need to be targeting. |
0:12.7 | And some of these guys are going way too late in draft. |
0:14.8 | Now, I'm Sal Vetri. My goal is to help you win your fantasy league. |
0:17.6 | We helped over 10,000 people win their leagues last year alone, and it's time |
0:21.0 | to do the same for you in this video. And we're going to start by looking at the first tight end in |
0:25.1 | this video, the first comparison. I want to look at Evan Ingram right now, who I prefer to be taking |
0:29.7 | over T.J. Hawkinson when we're talking about at value. But as of right now, Hawkinson is going as the 84th overall pick and drafts, the tight end five, Ingram, |
0:38.1 | the 110th overall pick and draft. So if we just do some pretty quick map there, about two and a |
0:43.4 | half rounds later, Ingram is going, that's a steal. Now, I get it. Ingram isn't a flashy |
0:47.4 | name, especially when you look at some of his stats from last year, but let's actually dive into that and add some context. Because when we look at Evan Ingram's stats, the 30-year-old tight end of the formerly Jacksonville Jaguars from last year, you scroll down |
0:58.2 | here and he averaged just 9.9 fantasy points per game. He was the tight end 12 in fantasy last year. |
1:03.2 | But this was while scoring just one touchdown on the season. And if you do recall, we can pull |
1:08.1 | it up right here in terms of some of the stuff he was doing, he earned the third highest target share amongst tight ends, very quietly when he was healthy |
1:14.1 | at 25%. And I say when he was healthy, because if you look here on player profiler, we scroll down, |
1:19.0 | we keep scrolling down. To start the season off right before week two started and really the season |
1:23.5 | started, he suffers a hamstring strain basically in warmups, right? He ends up going on the |
1:27.9 | injury report for the next four to six weeks, dealing with it, missing some time. And then to end |
1:32.0 | the season, he has a shoulder injury that ending up shutting down his year. So really, in terms |
1:36.3 | of how often Evan Ingram was fully healthy, if we could even say that last year, it was really |
1:41.3 | like weeks 8 to 13. But when he was healthy, he was producing. And again, just a reminder last year, it was really like weeks 8 to 13. But when he was healthy, he was producing. And again, |
