Tight Ends are a Diamond in the Rough

A good guy is hard to come by, especially when it's time to draft a tight end. A great tight end is arguably the hardest reliable player to draft in fantasy football. There are four elite tight ends in football. Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Jimmy Graham and Jason Witten are the four tight ends worth drafting in the first five rounds. Tony Gonzalez is an exception because he can be looked over as he was last year and produced the most points for a tight end last year (tied with Jimmy Graham). Hernandez and Gronk will have interesting years this year due to Gronks impressive four off-season surgeries. Hernandez will most likely have more targets if Gronk will not recover in time, but Gronk's upside is too much to ignore.

Especially since Adrian Peterson was overlooked and single handily carried teams in any fantasy league. Jason Witten might not score an attractive amount of touchdowns on a consistent basis like Gronk but Witten will have yards on yards week in and week out. I am a Romo hater so listen to these next few sentences knowing I completely hold a grudge against Romo and the Cowboys. Tony Romo sucks. He can turn it on at the end of the game after he already had turned the ball over 4 maybe even 5 times and the Cowboys are down by three touchdowns. The point I am trying to make is Romo loves him some Jason Witten. Romo targets Witten the most of any Dallas wideout each game and some of the most in the league. Jimmy Graham is an awesome draft pick post second round. Hes athletic and a beast in the open field. Brees is an elite quarterback and has many targets to a large array of players every week but chances are Graham will be a target and six points is very very likely.
