Fantasy Football – The Top 5 Tight Ends To Watch For
By Shaun Evans
Welcome back ladies and gentleman! We have finally cemented our feet here at FanSided Fantasy and we have you guys to thank for it! We left off yesterday with “The Top 5 Wide Receivers To Watch For” and today we will be covering the Top 5 Tight Ends. I believe the tight end position can get slim pretty quickly in most season long drafts but trust me, with this article and my power rankings (soon to come), we’ll have it all covered. So lets dive in to the research and see who we should be watching for!
Fantasy Football – The Top 5 Tight Ends To Watch For
5. Trey Burton (Chicago Bears)
I’m not the firmest believe in the man behind center, Mitchell Trubisky, for the Chicago Bears but I am with the man at the tight end position. Trey Burton may fall to the mid and lower rounds in season long fantasy football drafts but he’s a consistent athlete in Chicago. He didn’t have a hot start to his career but he has improved recently. His final two seasons in Philadelphia were two of his best seasons until last season so there is room to continue this upward trajectory.
Burton put up his best season last year with the Chicago Bears and their young quarterback, Trubisky. He had a total of 569 receiving yards while finding the end-zone 6 times. He has also had some solid hands once again, catching 71% of what was thrown his way which is up from his career number at 68% while averaging 3 receptions per game and 10 yards per catch. Trey Burton can be a looked over tight end this season but he’s a consistent one and can get the job done with his first season with the Bears in the book.
