0:00.0 | If you have a fantasy draft coming up, this video will help you because today we're breaking |
0:03.5 | down five tight ends that you should be drafting because as of right now, it looks like everyone |
0:06.8 | is taking the wrong tight ends and drafts. |
0:08.6 | For the past six years, we've been helping people win their leagues on this channel and I plan |
0:12.0 | to do the same in this video for you. |
0:13.6 | Now let's start the conversation with these elite tight ends. |
0:16.0 | You're going to see people calling these first couple of rounds right here, Travis Kelsey and Sam Leporter, who often go off the board in the second or third round, even Trey McBride, all the way down to Mark Andrews. These guys who go |
0:24.4 | in the first four rounds are your quote-unquote elite tight ends. And they're all great tight ends. |
0:29.1 | Depending on how early you want to take one, it's up to you. I wouldn't really be reaching too high |
0:32.6 | into the second and fourth round because here's the deal. If you come down here to the number five tight end in fantasy |
0:37.6 | drafts, 52nd overall, so round five right now is Dalton Kincaid. And in my opinion, Mr. Dalton |
0:43.5 | Kincaid of the Buffalo Bills has just as good of an upside and should be in that elite tier as |
0:47.8 | those other four names I mentioned. But those other guys go before Kincaid over 90% of the time in drafts. And as you can see right here, Kincaid was the bill's first round pick last year. All the top receivers were off the board |
0:57.2 | from your Zay Flowers, your Quentin Johnson, your Jackson sit in the jigbos, and the bills needed |
1:00.9 | a pass catcher. So they took Kincaid because he was a great pass catcher in college. And this |
1:04.7 | translated to his rookie season, where even in a part-time role while splitting time with Dawson Knox, he finished eighth in tight-end targets, 91 overall targets. It was the year of the top tight ends, and the finish on the year |
1:15.1 | for Dalton Kincaid was the tight-end 14, which in my opinion is highly impressive for a rookie, |
1:20.0 | splitting time, competing with guys like Stefan Deggs, and for a guy who only scored two |
1:23.5 | touchdowns. If that number is closer to four or five, which is what most guys see on a 90 plus target, uh, target share or overall volume, he's probably going to finish as a top 10 tight end as a |
1:32.2 | rookie. But the part that I really want to look at is from week six on because that's when |
1:35.6 | Dawson Knox went down with injury last year and from there on out. Kincaid averaged 11.2 points per |
1:40.6 | game and 6.7 targets per game in those contests without Dawson Knox. |
