At the tight end position, Gronk remains in a tier of his own, but there’s a nice bit of value in the remaining options in the top-10. Reed and Olsen are the “safest” bets to return TE1 value but Travis Kelce and Delaine Walker have plenty of potential as well. Antonio Gates remains the veteran value at the position, while getting very little respect as the 13th tight end taken on average according to Fantasy Pro’s consensus ADP data.
