32. Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings are not currently in playoff contention, and part of that has to do with the injury issues that tight end Kyle Rudolph has dealt with this season. He was expected to be a huge part of their offense, but has simply been unable to stay on the field. That being said, he has caught 15 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns in the six games that he has played this year.

31. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Austin Seferian-Jenkins in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft, they thought they were getting a big playmaking tight end. He has started off slow as a rookie, but he has still caught 21 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers aren’t bad, and he has made some big plays throughout the season so far this year as well.

30. Brent Celek, Philadelphia Eagles

Brent Celek isn’t the number one tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles this season, and he has put together some nice plays. He has caught 26 passes for 272 yards, but still hasn’t caught a touchdown. There is absolutely no question that he is still a top-32 tight end in the NFL, but he needs to be used a little bit more.

29. Clay Harbor, Jacksonville Jaguars

Clay Harbor has been one of the bright spots offensively for the Jacksonville Jaguars so far this season, despite the ugly all-around year that they are having. He has caught 26 passes for 289 yards and a touchdown, and has been a nice safety target for rookie quarterback Blake Bortles. The Jaguars will continue using him throughout the remainder of the season, and he will continue putting up consistent numbers.

Next: No. 28-25 TE's
