2020 Fantasy Football TE Awards
Hello Heat Seekers, welcome to episode 124 of Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast. I am your host, Rob Sullivan. The Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast is a proud member of the RotoHeat Family of Podcasts.
Alright, episode 124, concludes my four-part series, recapping the fantasy season. Each episode has covered one of the four skills positions. In this fourth and final episode we roll thru the Tight End position.
I will give you Sully’s MVP, Rookie of the Year, Comeback Player, Breakout and Bust for each position. For the Dynasty fantasy managers, I provide a buy and a sell at each position as well.
Tight End
MVP: Travis Kelce – Kansas City Chiefs
Of all the awards I have given out this season, awarding Travis Kelce with the MVP award is one of the easiest. Kelce finished his season as the TE1 in fantasy scoring for the 5th consecutive season.
2020 Travis Kelce’s best season to date. His 105 catches 1416 yards, and 11 touchdowns were all career highs, and his 145 targets were second only to his 2018 season in which he had 150.
The 312.80 PPR points in 15 games were 34.2 more points than Darren Waller, and 136.20 more than Robert Tonyan. Both Waller and Tonyan played all 16 of their teams games in 2020.
To put how good Kelce was into perspective, Waller averaged 17.4 points/game and Tonyan averaged 11.0. For these two to catch Kelce, Waller would need to have played 18 games this season and Tonyan 28.
His 1416 receiving yards are the most ever by a TE, breaking the record set a few seasons ago by George Kittle, and if Travis Kelce were a WR he would have finished the season as WR4. If you played in a TE premium league Travis Kelce quite possible led you league in scoring.
I had a hard time paying his price tag this season, he entered 2020 with a consensus ADP of TE1 and 19th overall. Seems expensive but considering that Nick Chubb, Austin Ekeler, Julio Jones, Kenyon Drake and Clyde Edwards-Helaire were 14-18, and that Kelce outscored them all, he was actually a bargain.
Travis Kelce IMO was the most valuable fantasy asset period in 2020, making him a slam dunk no-brainer for TE MVP.
Rookie of the Year: Harrison Bryant – Cleveland Browns
Welcome to the well, someone has to win this award, award. Other then Bryant the real only other contender was Chicago’s Cole Kmet. Turns out there were 4 main qualifies to be eligible for this award; 1. You need to be a TE, 2. You need to be a rookie, 3, two feet, 4. Heartbeat.
Wanna have some fun? Try talking about Harrison Bryant after discussing Travis Kelce. Bryant from all accounts is going to be a pretty decent TE in the NFL and should have some fantasy relevance in the coming years.
TEs take time and its not often a TE is overly fantasy relevant as a rookie. Since 2010 only two TEs have had top-12 TE seasons as a rookie. Rob Gronkowski in 2010, and Evan Engram in 2017. That is 2 out of 155 if you are curious.
