Fantasy football preparedness seminar

Tyler Ohmann

There is still a lot to cover in this final edition of my chance to ramble on about one of my passions--fantasy football. This week I’m going to rank the tight end class in 2014 (and it’s far from impressive), explain my thoughts on kickers and defenses and share who wound up being my projected top 50 point-getters for the upcoming NFL season.

First, why don’t I share my thoughts on what I believe will amount to a pretty lousy season for tight ends. I have a pretty easy philosophy for me this year as far as tight ends and the draft. Either take Jimmy Graham at about the eighth pic of the draft or later or don’t take a tight end until much later in the draft. A lot of people might think it is worth a shot to throw a rope around Gronk early or to waste a second, third or fourth round pick on a guy like Julius Thomas or Vernon Davis, but I don’t think that is so. If I don’t wind up taking Graham in the late first round or second round, I’m most likely not taking a tight end until everyone else has, or it’s past round seven or so.
