2023 Fantasy Football: Top Five Value Tight Ends

Last year, Travis Kelce (317.30 fantasy points) dominated the tight end pool. He had more than a 100.00-point edge over the second-best option (T.J. Hockenson – 216.40 fantasy points) while doubling the output of the sixth-ranked (Tyler Higbee – 152.00 fantasy points). Kelce had a floor of 15.00 fantasy points in 12 in 17 of his starts, double the second-highest player (George Kittle – 6) in this area. Only three running backs and three wide receivers outscored him in 2022 in PPR formats.

Eight tight end games with 30.00 fantasy points or more came from the top 12 best players. The TE1s scored between 20.00 and 29.99 fantasy points 17 times (12 by the top four tight ends). The other remaining options deliver nine outcomes in this category. During the year, there were 210 games by tight ends with a floor of 10.00 fantasy points. Here’s the breakdown by groupings:

·        TE1 – 96

·        TE2 – 56

·        TE3 – 38

·        TE4 – 14

·        TE5 – 6

Below the top 18 tight ends last season, there were only four games with more than 20.00 fantasy points – Jordan Akins – 25.00, Mike Gesicki – 24.90, Mo-Alie Cox – 26.50, Shane Zylstra – 25.60, and Trey McBride – 20.80).
