The tight end position can be a tricky one in fantasy football. It can either be your best spot or one of your more frustrating positions. Who are the top 15 tight ends to be eyeing in your draft?

When it comes to fantasy football, people highly underestimate the tight end position. Of course, there are some really good ones to draft and a few of those are worth taking in the first three or four rounds, but what about some of the other names to target?

Last year I drafted Rob Gronkowski in the second round of my fantasy football draft and the Patriots tight end only racked up a total of 97 points. I really took a big risk when drafting Gronk with his injury history and completely fell short there. His numbers were low compared to the league leading amount of points set by Travis Kelce, who had 223 on the year.

Anyone who waited to take Kelce greatly benefited last season. Will we see another tight end fantasy player like that this year? Let’s take a look at the 15 best options to draft heading into the 2017 fantasy football season.
