The NFL season is sneaking up on us, so it’s time to break the glass in your 2025 fantasy soccer draft plan. And when you have a plan for every place underneath glass, break the tight finish one and let’s have a look. First off, tight ends are probably the most annoying place for fantasy. When you get previous the High 3-5 guys, you’re in for some actual inconsistent fantasy scoring. Which may make you attain for Trey McBride or Brock Bowers within the first spherical, however we’re nonetheless selecting between them and a few very excessive upside performs at positions the place it’s worthwhile to begin a number of gamers.
If one of many high tight ends doesn’t fall, which they normally don’t, I’ll attempt to cobble collectively a constant tight finish out of two gamers later in drafts. However, even when I’ve the bench area for a backup tight finish, I’m going to be open to grabbing somebody off waivers to stream if that choice seems higher than who I’ve rostered.
Jake Ferguson, Cowboys (ADP, 130)
I don’t consider in Ferguson as a potential high tier tight finish, however that doesn’t matter all that a lot right here. We all know the Cowboys are going to proceed to be go heavy. We all know the crew simply paid Ferguson, which means he has no competitors from different tight ends for targets. And we all know the final time Dak Prescott performed a full season in 2023, Ferguson ended up with 71 receptions for 761 yards and 5 touchdowns. These aren’t enormous numbers, however they have been sufficient for fantasy TE8, which I’d be proud of at his ADP of TE14.
Chig Okonkwo, Titans (ADP, 174)
Okonkwo is an athletic machine with velocity, dimension and fingers. He has upside for days. Sadly he has needed to rotate with different tight ends on the crew up to now in his three 12 months profession. He’s topped 50 receptions the final two seasons, however that was on restricted taking part in time. That taking part in time ought to get a bump this season, as he was the no-doubt starter throughout preseason and he stayed within the recreation whereas Cam Ward was behind middle. The Titans must be higher this season with their No. 1 decide Ward whereas Okonkwo must be in line for extra targets as a full time participant.
