Fantasy Football 2018: Ranking the top 25 tight ends
By Jon Dove
15. Eric Ebron, Indianapolis Colts
Ebron landed in a solid situation with the Indianapolis Colts. He’ll have Andrew Luck throwing him passes and the Colts limited pass-catching options could mean a healthy dose of targets. Ebron is behind Jack Doyle on the depth chart, but look for the Colts to use both at the same time.
14. Tyler Eifert, Cincinnati Bengals
Eifert comes with the same injury concerns that have derailed each of the past few seasons. However, he’s still an elite playmaker who has a knack for finding the end zone. If you are targeting Eifert plan on using at least one more pick on a tight end for insurance.
13. Jack Doyle, Indianapolis Colts
Doyle is a good tight end option especially in PPR leagues after hauling in 80 passes last year. He already has solid chemistry with Andrew Luck so look for him to keep trending upwards. Eric Ebron’s shouldn’t be a big deal as the Colts will get both involved in the action.
12. Jordan Reed, Washington Redskins
When healthy, Reed is one of the top tight ends in fantasy football. He’s able to attack the middle of the field while also providing an excellent red zone target. The switch from Kirk Cousins to Alex Smith shouldn’t have much of an impact on Reed’s production.
As has been the trend, Reed’s health is always in question which makes him a risky selection.
11. George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers
Kittle is a little banged up at the moment, but many are expected a big season by the second-year tight end. He finished his rookie season with 43 receptions, 515 yards and two touchdowns. This came despite having shaky quarterback play before the Jimmy Garoppolo trade.
