There used to be a time, not long ago, where there were just a handful of roster-able tight ends for fantasy football, with a whole lot of mediocrity following a big drop off from the top few guys.
And while there are still a clear top three in Tier 1: Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz and George Kittle, the drop off is not nearly as bad as it has been in years past.
Here's a look at how we rank this year's deeper pool of fantasy tight ends:
