Fantasy football owners take various approaches when it comes to selecting their tight end. In a majority of leagues, you only have to draft one, which completely changes how you attack the position. They also don't tend to score as many fantasy points as the other key positions. That's why you have to be tactical when drafting them. While a stud tight end can give you a massive positional advantage, taking a dud high can do major damage to your lineup. Like with quarterbacks, waiting on a tight end and finding a sleeper can go a long way in helping you win a championship. Many fantasy owners also opt to stream tight ends with plenty of success. The key is identifying and finding the value at the position.
