Big Blue View
Welcome to the fourth, and last, installment of my final player rankings and tiers. You can find my July tight end rankings, tiers, and player commentary here: TEs. At each position, I’m providing my final rankings and tiers while informing you of major changes.
Here’s where you can find all my preseason draft prep content, including final rankings, sleepers, players to avoid and target at ADP, draft tips, a Giants fantasy preview, and more: Fantasy Football Hub.
My tight end rankings have undergone the least change of any position. There haven’t been a lot of preseason injuries at the position, nor major news developments like trades, holdouts, etc., which we’ve seen at other positions. My final rankings are very close to what I published in July.
I’ve organized the wide receivers into tiers, as I do at every position. You should do the same. In a nutshell, everyone wants the best players, and a tiered approach allows fantasy managers to have a great view of (a) ranges of players who can be expected to have similar fantasy production, (b) where the drop-offs are between those ranges, and (c) how many players in a range remain available at any given time. Tiers really help when position runs come, and they facilitate more effective drafting, regardless of whether you use a snake or auction format.
My tight end rankings and tiers are for Half-Point PPR. If you play in a Tight-End Premium (TEP) league, the very top guys can climb into the first round of drafts, depending on the scoring.
