Today, we are talking the top 24 tight ends for Dynasty Fantasy Football here in
26, including one guy that you can get for cheap that could genuinely be a league winner.
Welcome into the lineup fantasy football show. I'm Mitch Anderson.
I'm Justin Mello.
And Mello, we are not going to waste anybody's time here getting into our final rankings for Dynasty here in June, which is crazy to say.
Give me our number one guy off the board.
No surprises here. It's Brock Bowers.
It's got to be. Easy, easy tight end one in Dynasty.
he's three years younger than Tray McBride,
which is ultimately like the significant tiebreaker
between the two and a dynasty league.
But they produce at similar levels when healthy too.
Like I think they're the two best tight ends in the NFL,
especially in fantasy,
but Brock's just younger.
So it makes it pretty easy.
Raiders are trending up too,
which gets me excited.
Easy tight end one.
He burned me last year and this is still my guy.
Clint Kubiak just called him a football robot from heaven,
which we can unpack that in another episode.
I'm going to give a bold take.
I think there's a serious chance Brock Bowers
could have the best tight-end fantasy football season
of all time.
I don't even think it's that odd.
I mean, it's like mild.
It's like the buffalo wings you get at like Buffalo Wild Wings,
but it's not like ghost pepper.
Yeah, okay.
Sweet, sweet, spicy chili, maybe.
Yeah, yeah.
Chili crisp.
Damn, I want some wings now.
I just had that take and I felt like I had to get it off my chest.
No, I like it.
On to tight end, too.
we'll talk about last year's tight end one.
Trey McBride, 26 years old.
I mean, you just mentioned it,
but he's also incredible,
just a little older.
Yeah, that's basically what it comes down to do.
I am nervous that he's not going to continue
the extreme highs of 2025 in the future
just because that's not sustainable
and the situation probably won't be as beautiful
where they're throwing the ball 89 times a game.
But the good news is he doesn't have to continue
to reach those highs because he could take a little cut in production
and still be really freaking good.
Just 26, proven elite tight end.
safe bet to give you top end production.
He finally caught some touchdowns last year.
I feel very good about him going forward.
I couldn't agree more.
And to illustrate your point that he could take a big cut
and still be extremely productive,
last year there was a bigger gap between Tram McBride
and Kyle Pitts, the tight end two,
than there was between Kyle Pitts and the tight end 27,
Cade Otton.
Tramick Bride was in a position of his own.
Yeah, just ridiculous members.
Let's jump into number three.
The new hotness here at Tight End.
And that's Colston Loveland, 22 years old, out of Chicago.
This is the first pick that we're going to get into that I think is a little bit based on projections.
Like, we haven't seen this guy do it for a full season.
No, but what we did see at the end of last year was crazy.
Doesn't mean it'll stay that way.
It is risky, but I love it.
I think it's worth the risk.
He did not, basically nothing for the first.
I don't even know what it was.
11, 12 weeks.
It was the tight end two from weeks nine through 18.
Crazy splits there.
I mean, the playoffs, too, like it wasn't even just the end of the regular season.
He was a target hog in the playoffs.
He's the main piece of this offense I want.
And this is a great offense.
An ascending offense, a young offense.
He's the main guy I want because I think this time next year, we could be debating him in Brock Bowers.
I completely agree with that.
Let's get into number four.
Why don't we break consensus?
Let's have some fun.
Let's get wild.
Let's do it.
Let's talk about Tucker Craft.
Tight end for the Green Bay Packers, only 25 years old.
Mello, talk about how good Tucker Craft is.
Mitch, I want to start a Tucker Craft fan club together.
I think we should.
I love him.
You love it.
We both love Tucker Craft.
We haven't talked about him enough.
He's awesome.
No, we absolutely have not talked about him enough.
He's the man.
He was the tight end one overall.
The tight end one overall, even over Trey McBride, who we just talked about,
prior to the ACL Ter last year.
I am a little bit worried about how he progresses with that ACL,
but long term I'm really not that worried.
He's just 25.
He's tied to Jordan Love for the long run.
I love Tucker Kraft.
Tucker Kraft is currently being valued as the tight end six,
according to Keep Trade Cut.
Mello, it must be Mac and Cheese Night in the lineup household,
because when I'm looking for a great value,
I'm grabbing Kraft every single time.
Oh, Jesus.
That brings us to number five.
That was the worst joke ever.
It's cheesy.
Oh my God.
That was the worst joke ever.
Thank you for tuning in.
Number five, Tyler Warren, 24 years old.
This feels like we would have had him ranked so much higher if the back half of the year
didn't happen.
It looked like all of the Tyler Warren Truthers were dancing on the Colson Loveland Truthers
graves, but here we are.
We got him at number five.
Yeah, the back half the year was just tough.
It's, I still like there's a part of me that feels like.
he should be higher because of the draft capital and how good things were last year before the injury.
But I talk about this Colts team.
I'm just worried about their whole offense going forward and Daniel Jones and what this offense is going to look like.
But to give him his flowers, 106 targets as a rookie tight end is pretty remarkable.
If this offense does do better than we're projecting, then he could be much better than the
tight end five going forward in Dynasty.
Yeah.
My critique on Warren has nothing to do with the talent.
In fact, I liked him more coming out of college,
but I think both of us are a little sneaky afraid that this Colts team could be a dumpster fire
and not really know where to go from here with them.
And so there's that fear of how long is it take for Tyler Warren to actually hit his full potential.
And so that's why I've got him below a couple of these guys.
But let's jump into number six.
A guy who just a few years ago was being praised as the next big thing,
Sam Leporta, 25 years old on the Detroit Lions.
you get into this first.
Yeah, you mentioned it.
Like super weird career path.
He was the tight end one overall his rookie year.
And now he's down to sixth in our rankings just a few years later.
And he's still just 25.
So obviously things have slipped,
but he's still been good.
It's not like he's been a disaster.
It's just that there are a lot of Mao's defeat in Detroit.
And Laporta isn't one of the first couple of those mouths in the pecking order.
Like there are better options there.
But he is talented enough.
to continue, I think, mid-tier
tight-in-one production for the better half of the next decade.
So he's still a nice asset.
He just hasn't really become what we thought he could.
Yeah, I think that's exactly right.
I don't think he's a guy that can, like,
compete as the overall tight-in-one with Bowers and McBride.
But if you actually look at it,
I think you get a bit of a value on a guy with a safe floor
that has the potential for blow-up spots
that people are kind of just like,
nah, whatever.
He's not what we thought he was going to be,
so he can't be good.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind somebody
like making a move for him at all
because he does still have upside and a nice floor
so he's a nice piece.
100%.
Up next at 7 is a guy I actually had ranked
above Sam Laporta prior to the NFL draft
and that's Harold Fanon Jr.
I was super excited despite the weird QB situation.
He had a phenomenal rookie year.
He's only 21 years old still,
but you go out and you draft Casey Concepcion
and Denzel Boston and it's scaring me off
in an offense where I don't really want a piece of that pie anyway.
Like everyone's slices just keep getting smaller.
I just, I'm still here at seven because I see the potential,
but it's hard for me to tell myself the story that he's going to like be this huge breakout
tight end for my team.
Yeah, I think we feel very similarly about him because I also feel guilty not having him
higher.
I mean, he had, I talked about Tyler Warren's targets.
Fanon had more.
He had 108 targets as a rookie tight end.
Yeah.
Just 21 years old.
I mean, that's absurd.
But you mentioned the other receivers they brought in.
Also, I'm kind of scared about Stefanski leaving because Stafansky's gamed up so many manufactured touches for Harold Fannett.
I don't know that that will continue with this new regime.
Also, no quarterback in sight unless she believed in Deshaun Watson or Shadur Sanders or Dylan Gabriel, I guess.
But he is good enough.
I believe in the 2027 first round pick for the Browns.
There you go.
Well, first round picks for the Browns also haven't worked out great.
That's a good point.
But that's probably the best option for them.
But regardless, I mean, he was so good as a rookie and he is so good and he is so good and he is so young that we can't put him lower than seven.
Yeah.
On to number eight.
I'm a, I'm getting a little hotter under the collar because it's time to talk about Isaiah likely, the 26-year-old tight end for the New York Giants.
The breakout is imminent for Isaiah likely.
Would you say it's likely?
I would say it's very likely.
Another guy that's like a perfect post-hype sleeper.
He's only 26 years old.
Dart was targeting Theo Johnson like crazy last year.
Imagine what you can do with Isaiah Likeley.
We read this stat and I might butcher this, but I believe it's the right number,
that if you extrapolate the games that Isaiah Likeley's played in his career without Mark Andrews
and you made a 17 game season last year, he would have finished as the tight end three.
I'm not surprised, but it is like kind of jarring to hear.
I'm with you though. I think it's a breakout waiting to happen. He's the clear tight end one on an ascending offense. The talent's always been there. He's just been stuck behind the corpse of Mark Andrews, but he's not anymore. So there's a lot of hope. 100%. On to number nine. Bring out the boxing gloves. This is going to be another guy. This is my Rishi Rice, 25 year old Kyle Pitts with the Atlanta Falcons. How did I end up being the Kyle Pitts guy? How? This is like, this is demeaning. But here I am. I.
am in the pits. I will say there's a little bit of fear here with Tua, but we've seen Tua be
a tight end machine at times targeting tight ends with Janoosmith. He's only 25 years old.
Like you said in the past, though, like it's ambiguous after this year where he's going to be.
And so I think the Tide End two season was for real last year. Do I think he's going to be the
tight end two again? No. But I think he deserves to be ranked higher than the ninth.
I will acknowledge the upside, and you're right, we're a divided house on Kyle Pitts.
I think he stinks like literal Pitts, but to each are his own, I'll, you know, let you like Kyle
Pitts. We can debate him more in a future episode, but what I will say for what scares me
beyond the fact that he's just been inconsistent, and I mean, even last year, that's had in two
finished, I mean, like a third of his fantasy points were in two games, but sure. With that said,
I'm also just not super excited about ancillary pieces on this falcons offense, which I'm scared about because of the quarterback play like we talked about.
And you do have other better options to feed in this offense.
And then we don't know where he'll be next year like you mentioned.
So that all scares me.
But with that said, I am mad enough to admit there's plenty of upside.
And he is still 25.
He's been 25 years old for the last nine years, I think.
So I get it.
I'm man enough to admit I might just get Kyle Pitts again.
Get Kyle pants.
That's a son of a bitch got me again.
Yeah, literally. He can't keep getting away with it.
All right, number 10.
First rookie on the board, Eli Stowers, 23 years old,
incredible landing spot with an aging tight end and a quarterback
that sure as hell loves to target the tight end position,
especially in the red zone.
I'll let you jump into this, though.
Yeah, we're probably going to have to wait on the breakout for him,
so he's definitely not somebody that you should expect production out of year one,
but the breakout's coming.
Give it a couple years.
He's a tight end who plays like a wide receiver.
He played quarterback until a few years ago.
Is he more versatile than Taysam Hill?
I think he might be.
Call him Mr. Positions.
I agree, though.
You got to be patient here,
but I'm so in on this guy.
He's a freak.
They use a second round pick on him.
They've got a plan to have him be part of the future.
At number 11, another rookie 21 years old,
Kenyon Sadeek, now with the New York Jets.
I'm not going to pour.
run out again because last time I doused myself with water on camera, but this one stung.
I was really excited for Sadiq till he caught a case of the Jets and he's still extremely talented.
That's why we have him at 11.
And so I have him here based on pure upside, but I'm disappointed in what could have been a
really, really great situation.
Yeah, again, we're super aligned.
He'd be higher for sure if he had landed with like over half the teams in the NFL in the draft.
but of course it's the Jets. Jets fans have to hate us.
Or maybe they just accept the fact that their team sucks.
They're like, yeah, that's fair.
Yeah.
I don't know because I'm lucky enough to not be a Jets fan.
But with all that said, talent does overcome situation most of the time, maybe not all the time.
Yeah.
And his athletic profile is that of an Olympian.
And I don't mean like the Olympic games, like Olympic athlete.
I mean like a legitimate God.
Like that is the type of athleticism he has.
it's just the
freaking Jets, man.
I know.
And maybe I'll be able to take off these green
tinted goggles
later on in the off season
feel a little bit better about him,
but I just, ugh, ick.
On to number 12.
This is a guy I'm not as pumped up
about as other people,
and that's a Ronde Gadsden 22 years old in L.A.
I'll let you go first
because I see you have a note here
about their new acquisition, too.
Yeah, this is a,
a tough one. I was getting pretty excited about Gadsden, but then, of course, David Njoku did rain on
my parade, signing with the Chargers. But I do think we shouldn't completely, like, rule Gadsden
out as a nice long-term asset yet, because Mike McDaniel does run a lot of two tight-in sets.
We've been projecting him to do so in L.A. even prior to them signing Nijoku. So there is
rim on the field for them to both play, which is good. Also, the Joku is old anyways. He's not there
for the long run, and he already got Alphod by Harold Fanon last year.
So, like, we've seen him take a back seat to younger tight ends.
I do think he is super high variance, debatably the most high variance guy we have on those
cysts, because he could actually just be enough.
At least so far. Yeah.
At least so far.
He could be a boat.
He could be a boat.
He could be nothing.
But it's all about upside when you miss out on those first couple tiers of tight ends.
Like, at that point, I'm just kind of swinging for the fences, and that's what Gadsden is to me.
Yeah, I think being Joku things scares me, not only because they added another tight end, because they felt the need to.
And so I think with him, it's, I'm not like out on him.
I just think, like, everyone's just already started crowning this guy based on a few good weeks last year when they haven't even shown that they want to make him a centerpiece of the offense.
That's a very fair and legitimate concern, 100%.
All right.
At 13, Jake Ferguson, 27 years old from the Dallas Cowboys.
My note here is just like he's, I just think he's good.
He's just good.
I don't know.
Let's move on.
Yeah, right, number 14.
No, he is good.
I'm far more interested in him, though, if George Pickens has gone.
Absolutely.
People got to forget, Jake Ferguson was the tight end one overall over the four games that CD Lamb missed when he was the number two option in that offense.
And he's got a tight end won two out of the last three years.
The only one he wasn't was because it was injury riddled.
Yeah, he is good.
He's on a good offense.
It's just tough to reach the heights that he has in the past
when we don't know that this situation is going to stay the same.
We don't know if this Dallas Cowboys offense is going to continue to be bad.
We don't know how long George Pickens is going to be there.
But at the very least, I think he's like a nice low-end, tight-in one for the next few years.
Yeah, I think he's an awesome pick up here if you're not rebuilding at 13.
at 14 is a really interesting guy to talk about and that's George Kittle 32 years old.
I'll let you get into this first though.
This one kind of hurts my heart.
I legitimately think George Kittle has been one of the best real-life NFL players of the last decade.
And like I truly think if I was ranking how good players have been in the last decade, he'd be one of the first three or four names, I'd say.
Yeah.
Truly.
Like that's how good I think George Kittal is as a player.
With that said, he terrifies me for fantasy going forward to the point where
I might just kind of be out.
I'm not sure what 2026 will look like with the recovery,
the Achilles tier that happened in January so late in the year with the playoffs.
He's already 32 years old.
They're saying he could be ready for the start of the season.
I'm skeptical.
He's a pure win now move because of the age and a very, very risky one because of the
Achilles, Achilles.
So I'm super like scared and not very optimistic personally.
Yeah, it just feels like a last-ditch effort in a win-now move, and it comes with an abundance of risk.
And I just don't even feel like the odds of it paying off are that good.
Like, he feels like to me, as we go through the summer, like maybe the most obvious drop on our list that he's going to fall down these rankings.
Because I don't think either one of us feels very good about this.
Yeah.
And tell Kyle Shanahan says he's 100% playing week one, and then we don't see George Kittle until November.
Yeah.
No, when would Kyle Shannon do that?
All right, number 15, Dalton Kincaid, 26 years old.
I'll let you start here.
I think both of us have been kind of meh on Kincaid his entire career.
Yeah, I'm willing to eat my words on this, but I just don't think he's very good.
I don't think, I think if it didn't happen these last couple years when the only competing targets were Khalil Shakir and the Cookie Monster,
that it's going to happen after that.
DJ Moore. So I understand the upside, first round pick, 26 year old, whatever. I'm just going to let
someone else chase that potential because I don't really think it's actually there. Yeah, I'm either
entirely. If you want to play devil's advocate, he's 26 years old attached to Josh Allen. He led all
tight ends in yards per route run last year. But then if you want to play the devil's advocate to my
devil's advocate, whatever that is, the angels enemy. Sure. His best finish was tight end 11 of his
career so far. And that was his rookie year when we all thought he was going to break out.
And so it's not out of the question to beat that mark, but I don't know, I just view him more as
like a, I'd rather have him as like a high upside bestball stack guy than someone I actually
want for this price in Dynasty.
A hundred billion percent. I'd like him in best ball way more than Dynasty.
All right. Number 16, we got another mellow guy. Let's talk about Terence Ferguson, the 23-year-old
tight end for the Rams. Here's a guy who's a guy who's a...
upside. I would love to chase at cost compared to Belton Kincaid. We only have them a spot apart,
but Kincaid is much higher in the consensus rankings wherever you look. He's 23 years old. He's so
talented. I love him in the Sean McVeigh offense. I do admittedly have less hope after the Rams,
those bastards, drafted Max Clare in the second round, yet another tight end. This tight end room
is so crowded. That's a real bummer. That hurts my heart. Why would the Rams? But he
take a guy who's not even in a position of need in the first two rounds of the draft mellow.
That's so unlike them.
Who would have thought that would happen?
Yeah.
Because of that, that turned Terrence Ferdons.
I honestly don't actually think it hurt his ceiling, but I do think it hurt his floor severely.
Yeah, that's fair.
Because if he breaks out to be the talent that we think he could be, then who cares about Max Clare?
But if you're looking at targets like this year and even next year, like, if he can't break out,
then it's like he's not going to be getting anything because he's,
you've got like five mouths to feed in that tight end room.
Exactly.
All right.
On to number 17.
Let's talk about Travis Kelsey, one of the guys we just named as one of our favorite
buys for contenders right now, 36 years old.
I just made this whole argument, but in the disastrous Kansas City offense last year,
he still finished as the tight end three.
And in his last 10 seasons, I described this as Morse code.
tied end 353-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1.
If you're a contending team, go by him.
Yeah, this is his last dance in real life,
but join him in that last dance with your fantasy team if you want to.
Like you said, my brother in Christ, he was the tight-end pre last year.
Yeah, everyone thinks he's washed, and I'm like,
it's because there's the moments, there's the drops that lead to picks
in those, like, all Kelsey's wash,
but it's like, you look at the whole body of work last year.
He was still incredible.
He's washed compared to what he was, which is like a Hall of Fame, elite receiving tight end.
Like, debatable greatest tie end of all time.
Debate is great at all of all time.
And we, who else are they going to even throw the ball to?
Because Rishie Rice is in a freaking prison cell right now.
And these other receivers, I don't trust at all.
So I like Kelsey for one year.
Yeah, I'm with you.
All right, here we go.
I'm number 18.
Another guy that's a rental probably for one, maybe two years.
Dallas Goddert.
Solid buy now guy with an already closing window that's getting shot.
shut even faster. The Stowers pick in Philadelphia, but we love him. I think he's a great value still.
I do too. I've definitely cooled on him quite a bit since the draft, especially with Sowers
getting drafted. But I still like him for at least this year. Another ride with the Eagles.
I like this offense bouncing back. He has such great chemistry with J.1 Hertz in the red zone.
He's such a red zone threat that you have all that touchdown upside. So he's a solid buy for contenders.
because he's kind of dirt cheap right now.
And I think he'll be a nice contributor in
2026. He's also a guy that
I think you can get from a manager for a
way cheaper price than even like his consensus
price. Like you can definitely get like
depending on that manager's timing.
You could absolutely get him for pennies on the
dollar. Agreed.
On to number 19, a guy we
recently talked about, AJ Barner
24 years old. I know he doesn't
excite you quite as much as me.
But I do think despite not
being a guy who's ever going to be in that top four
convoy. I just think he's a little underpriced for the leap he took in year two in his age and being
attached to an organization whose offense has been humming.
Yeah, I think you summarize everything well there. I'm personally just not very excited about him,
but he's 24 years old. He's the tight end on the good offense that just won the Super Bowl.
I just don't think he has very much upside at all. The ceiling is the issue. For sure.
Yeah, there's really no ceiling, but if you're in like a two tight end league or something,
then I like him a whole lot more.
Yeah, yeah.
I was going to say tight and premium, but...
Tighten premium, too, sure.
Yeah.
On to number 20.
Kind of a similar situation here.
Brenton Strange, 25 years old.
You break it down first.
I kind of feel similarly about Brenton Strange as I do, A.J. Barger.
Yeah.
They're kind of similar to me.
They're just...
They're on good offenses, but they're on good offenses with other really good weapons and
mouths to feed.
And they're not the most exciting guys, but they're young and we've seen flashes.
So, I don't know.
I think we've seen...
stretches from Brent and Strange that have been very good.
I don't think that's something that will ever be consistent or sustainable.
But again, like, he's the young starting tight end on a good team.
So that's worth something in a Dynasty League.
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm with you.
I just, and I feel like hypocritical because I've been like,
oh, I want every piece of the Jacksonville offense.
But to me, kind of reminds me of exactly what I said about Dalton Kincaid.
Like, I'd much rather just have this guy in best ball.
And if I have a Trevor Lawrence stack cook with him, that's awesome.
I don't really feel like making the bet that he's going to be my tight end of the future.
That's well put.
Definitely.
On to number 21, a guy we mentioned in our discount brand episode, the Puma to Travis Kelsey's Adidas.
T.J. Hawkinson, 28 years old for the Minnesota Vikings.
You go first here.
I'm starting to talk myself in.
We're in.
We're in.
Even a little more.
Like, I'm not like fully in, but I'm getting there.
Like the Ray Allen tweet.
switching back and forth from being out and in on T.J.
Ockinson.
I might just tweet that tonight.
It's really crazy and sad, though, how far he's fallen over the last couple of years.
He's 28 now.
Feels like he's 82, though.
He was, like, one of the top dynasty tight ends a year.
He got hurt and, you know, hasn't been the same sense.
But with Kyler Murray in town and T.J. Hawkinson healthy, I wouldn't count out a mini bounce back.
And when I say bounce back, like, I don't think he has top five potential anymore.
but low end, tight end one potential?
Sure, I could see it.
He's got the talent.
And, like, yeah, I think he's a very much forgotten guy
that feels 82 years old.
And that's probably because he looked 78 when he was a rookie.
But, yeah, I'm right there with you.
I think he's a good value.
I don't think he's going to lead your team to a championship.
But he's a really good value that you can get for dirt cheap right now.
This next guy is kind of my version of this.
Post-type sleeper, chickacocco,
26 years old, now with the Washington
commanders. This was a guy
we were looking at as a tight end one in Dynasty
just a few years ago. Low end.
I think he was the tight end 12 in value consensus.
But he could see
a lot of success in a Jaden Daniels'
offense. I just think that
this is the type of material change that if you
believed in the talent originally, you could get back on board
with. Yeah. I mean, we saw what Zach
Hertz did, like the corpse of Zacherts.
So you can definitely talk yourself into it.
Kind of feels like he's missed the boat.
but that's why he's a post-type sleeper, like you said.
And he doesn't cost a whole lot either,
so I don't mind someone taking the shot on him.
Yeah, it's a real flyer play on him.
Yeah.
All right, we'll speed through these last two guys
because I think we just, whatever.
23, Juan Johnson, 29.
I'll let you go on this one.
Yeah, people forget he was the tight end ten last year.
They don't want you to know that he was that good.
No. Big tight end doesn't want you to know.
Big tight end doesn't want you to know how good Juan Johnson.
was the problem is I don't think he'll ever do that again um to be honest I think he just barely
squeezes in to our top 24 because of the finish last year yeah um there's now more mouths to feed
both at wide receiver and tight end for that matter and I'm just not super excited about the future yeah
I think the upside feels so limited especially at his age with all the moves they made but I agree
with you it feels disrespectful to not put a top 10 tight end who's still under 30 in your top 24
Exactly.
Up next at 24 is a guy.
I don't even want my top 36.
That's Mark Andrews, 30 years old.
I'm kidding.
He was my tight end 30.
Maybe a best ball play.
I have literally zero interest.
You could offer me like a fifth round pick for him and dynasty and I'd probably move him.
If I try to talk myself into him, it's just like, oh, well, I say likely he's gone.
But like that's me diluting myself because I'm also not in.
Like we kind of hate him on this show.
He was carried to tight end five in 2024.
by an alert, absurd 11 touchdowns.
That's the only reason he was a tied in five.
And that was the year where tied in five wasn't very good.
He was a tight in 16 last year,
despite not missing any time.
That's the other thing.
He's been perfectly healthy,
putting up dog shit numbers.
He's so far past his prime,
like you said, barely any upside.
We have a much lower than consensus,
and I don't really bat an eye at it.
100%.
I'm not even going to ask who did we miss on this list,
because if you're worried about who isn't on this list,
you're an absolute sicko, but who is too high and who is too low in our top 24 tight ends?
Let us know in the comments.
And Mello, do we miss anything?
I'm done.
All right, we'll catch you guys next episode.
