5. Greg Olsen, Carolina Panthers

Olsen might be getting up there in years, but he’s still on of the top fantasy tight ends in the league. His relationship with Cam Newton almost guarantees that he’ll see plenty of targets. However, there are more weapons in Carolina that could take a little work away.

4. Evan Engram, New York Giants

Engram established himself as a playmaker during his rookie season. He now has another offseason under his belt and is looking to improve his numbers. The return of Odell Beckham Jr. will take away some targets, but it will also draw away some coverage.

3. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs

Kelce has some things to work out with a new quarterback under center and Sammy Watkins now on the roster. There’s a little more uncertainty surrounding the Chiefs than in years past. The safe bet is that Kelce will round into form and still be a top-flight fantasy option.

2. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles

Ertz is a stud and will be a major part of the Eagles passing attack. The reports that Alshon Jeffery could start the year on the PUP could mean even more targets for Ertz. Either way, Ertz is someone you want to have on your fantasy roster.

1. Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots

Gronkowski’s health is something that must be taken into consideration. However when healthy, this is major contributor who can help put you over the top in your fantasy league. The Tom Brady to Gronk connection should have a few more seasons left.
