Fantasy managers evaluate five tight end options beyond the top prospects
Summary

Fantasy football drafters looking for tight end depth beyond Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, and Colston Loveland have several alternatives available. Kyle Pitts enters the season as the TE9, serving as a primary target in the Atlanta Falcons offense despite current uncertainty regarding the team’s starting quarterback. Travis Kelce remains an option at TE10, coming off a season with 76 receptions and five touchdowns for the Kansas City Chiefs. Further down the rankings, Dallas Goedert offers potential as a red zone threat for the Philadelphia Eagles, while Brenton Strange aims to build on his late-season performance with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dalton Schultz rounds out the group as the TE19, potentially providing depth for rosters with limited receiver options. These players represent potential starters or backups for managers unable to secure top-tier tight ends during their drafts.
