85. 2020 Redraft Tight End Rankings
Hello Heat Seekers welcome to episode 85 of Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast. I hope that everyone is doing well. Thanks for being here.
On Wednesday of this week I rolled out what i hope to be the first annual RotoHeat 2020 Redraft Cheat Sheet. The cheat sheet was a ton of work to out together, but it was a ton of fun as well.
The cheat sheet is complete with my top 360 ranked fantasy assets, rankings by position, and tier based rankings. In addition the cheat sheet contains the player’s current Fantasy Pros ADP, suggested auction values, as well as a recommended auction budget percentage and projections for the 2020 season.
Best part of all in my opinion is The RotoHeat 2020 Redraft Cheat Sheet has been designed as a tool for you, the fantasy manager, to download, customize and utilize to prepare for draft day. Best of all, this tool is yours completely FREE.
Today, I am going to wrap up my review of the 2020 Redraft Rankings and next up are the 2020 Redraft Tight End Rankings.
The TE position over the past three seasons has had considerable movement in and out of the top 12. Since the start of the 2017 season, there have been 24 different TE’s that have posted a top 12 season–3 have done it all three years, 6, twice, and the remaining 15 only once. Since 2010 it has taken, on average, 146.30 PPR points to have a top 12 TE season, and since 2017 it’s dropped to take 133.1.
2019 was the highest of the past three seasons, as 136 points was the price of admission into the top 12. 8.5 PPR points a game is all it takes. Don’t reach for a TE in your drafts. If you miss on one of the big 3 or 4, it’s time to wait as there is value in the later rounds. The TE position is also a very stream-able position as well.
Honorable Mentions
16. T.J. Hockenson – Detroit Lions
In 2019, T.J. Hockenson finished his rookie season as TE 31 with 87.1 fantasy points. He exploded in Week 1 against the Cardinals, though what we know now that we didn’t know then was the Arizona Cardinals were the “free space” on the bingo fantasy card for TEs in 2019. He followed his impressive debut by averaging 18 yards a game in the next 6 weeks. It’s hard to depend on a rookie TE in fantasy, and in 2019, Hockenson was no different.
That said, he battled injury in year one and played half the season without Matthew Stafford. Hock certainly has the ability to put up big fantasy numbers, but he likely needs another season or two before he’s ready for the top 12. As a result, he lands at #16 in my 2020 Redraft Tight End Rankings
15. Dallas Goedert – Philadelphia Eagles
Dallas Goedert finished 2019 as the TE10, so having him at 15 in my 2020 Redraft Tight End Rankings at first glance may seem somewhat short-sighted. Goedert remains the second TE in Philadelphia behind TE Zach Ertz, and because of this Goedert’s upside is limited. Still, he’s shown flashes of elite ability himself in his first two seasons. If you believe in his talent enough to overcome low target numbers, you can get Goedert late in drafts, but beware of a low floor every week.
