Welcome to TimersSports
On Monday and Tuesday , we focused-in on running backs and Wide Receiver. Today Tight ends are our targets. This is one of the most shallow position (terms of superstar power). Finding a nice bargain deal is the ultimate goal at this position. There are multiple options which don't get enough respect. Finding those options could help bulid a stronger overall squad.
Sleepers -
Jordan Reed: Reed first caught my attention week 4 (few weeks before the breakout performance vs Chi). He is a legit option at this position. He is big , strong and can cause problems for any defender. The addition of DeSean Jackson will only help him get open even more. RGIII absolutely love the potential Reed have for the upcoming season. Its been awhile since , I been this high on a Tight End coming off a injury. But man he have enormous upside.
Charles Clay - Charles Clay is the definition of underrated at the Tight End position. He finished 7th last year among TEs and his draft stock barely improved. I understand that he haven't put up numbers like V.Davis , J.Graham or R.Gronkowski. But man he still doesn't deserves to be abused like he is among experts and fellow players. He is heck of a bargain deal (As of right now). I have high hopes for Mr.Clay.
Kyle Rudolph - Rudolph can be a fantasy monster in the red zone. Very few defenders can be expected to contain the 6"5 physical Tight End. He was a complete animal in 2012. Look for him to return to his old self very shortly. He missed multiple games last season. So he a bit of risk , but under a new offensive system. He have potential to be a handful for defenses.
Delaine Walker - Walker is a solid Tight End. He was in a bad place to his career (San Fran). After 2012 , he landed as a Titan last season. He was only the 12th best Tight End in fantasy land. You can expect similar results in 2014. He should be nice top 15 option. Depending on #'s of targets/receptions comes his way. May float with top 10, if Locker can stay healthy.
Well that's it for Tight Ends. Again really don't have much to go at this point. Glad preseason starts in 18 days.
Might take a look at Kickers and Defenses. But they are more difficult in the sleeper department. Especially with no current data to go on (terms of 2014 season).
