| HEADLEY @CPGM Headley | DREW @S1rdr3w |
| ELITE | |
| "They are as good as a #1 WR" | |
| 1. Travis Kelce - Kansas City Chiefs - Give me Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes offense over Kyle Shanahan and Jimmy G for George Kittle. | 1. George Kittle - San Francisco 49ers - Jimmy G is back and Kittle has arrived. |
| 2. George Kittle - San Francisco 49ers | 2. Travis Kelce - Kansas City Chiefs |
| 3. Zach Ertz - Philadelphia Eagles | 3. OJ Howard - Tampa Bay Bucanneers - BA has never had a TE like OJ Howard in his offense and it wont be just trick plays like Koetter did with Howard |
| 4. Zach Ertz - Philadelphia Eagles | |
| SUPERS | |
| "A few catches, YAC, or TD's away from being in the elite tier" | |
| 4. OJ Howard - Tampa Bay Bucanneers | 5. Evan Engram - New York Giants |
| 5. Hunter Henry - Los Angeles Chargers - Henry looks healthy and ready to dominate in 2019. | 6. Hunter Henry - Los Angeles Chargers - He will be "ELITE" soon. One less weapon on the team going in to this season in Tyrell Williams |
| 6. Evan Engram - New York Giants - Engram usually shows out when there isn't an elite receiver option in the offense, sign me up for a BIG season as the Giants will force him targets. | 7. Vance McDonald - Pittsburgh Steelers |
| NEXT LEVEL PLAYERS | |
| "A player on the cusp , but age, scheme, or injury may be holding them back" | |
| 7. Jared Cook - New Orleans Saints - Drew Brees as your quarterback equals fantasy success for Cook. | 8. Jared Cook - New Orleans Saints - I remember when Brees had Jimmy Graham. Well Cook is a better all around TE! |
| 8. Eric Ebron - Indianapolis Colts | 9. Eric Ebron - Indianapolis Colts |
| 9. Vance McDonald - Pittsburgh Steelers | 10. TJ Hockenson - Detroit Lions - I am expecting big things from Hockenson, being in this run first offense who will be used in a variety of ways. I predict plenty of volume coming his way. |
| 10. David Njoku - Cleveland Browns | 11. Austin Hooper - Atlanta Falcons - Coming into his own. It took awhile but he is here and only going to get better. |
| PROMISING | |
| "You have seen the potential and at some point you will see it again but for how many games?" | |
| 11. Austin Hooper - Atlanta Falcons | 12. Darren Waller - Oakland Raiders - I could by seasons end see Waller in the"SUPERS" tier. Word from camp is he is unguardable! Also Gruden loves the TE position and using them in a variety of ways either islolating them up with inferior positions or scheming them open to be free at the snap with formations. |
| 12. Delanie Walker - Tennessee Titans | 13. Delanie Walker - Tennessee Titans |
| 13. Kyle Rudolph - Minnesota Vikings | 14. David Njoku - Cleveland Browns - Lots of weapons for the aerial assault for Baker but where I think Njoku eats is TDs. |
| 14. Jordan Reed - Washington Redskins | 15. Jordan Reed - Washington Redskins |
| 15. Darren Waller - Oakland Raiders - Waller has been the talk of Raiders camp, can he take advantage of Jared Cook's offense and have a breakout season? If healthy I say Yes. | 16. Mark Andrews - Baltimore Ravens |
| 16. Mark Andrews - Baltimore Ravens - Andrews built a nice rapport with Lamar Jackson last season who likes to throw the football inside the numbers. | 17. Noah Fant - Denver Broncos |
| 17. Dallas Goedert - Philadelphia Eagles - If only Ertz wasn't in Philadelphia. Goedert is promising but he needs an injury to occur. | |
| STATUS QUO | |
| "Nothing special here. Can I get my projections please!?!" | |
| 18. Greg Olsen - Carolina Panthers | 18. Greg Olsen - Carolina Panthers |
| 19. TJ Hockenson - Detroits Lions | 19. Chris Herndon IV - New York Jets |
| 20. Jimmy Graham - Green Bay Packers | 20. Kyle Rudolph - Minnesota Vikings |
| COMPLEMENT | |
| "Will meet or just fall short of their projections week to week" | |
| 21. Jack Doyle - Indianapolis Colts | 21. Trey Burton - Chicago Bears |
| 22. Tyler Eifert - Cincinnati Bengals | 22. Tyler Eifert - Cincinnati Bengals |
| 23. Chris Herndon IV - New York Jets - If he wasn't missing the first 4 games, Herndon would be in the "PROMISING" tier. | 23. Jack Doyle - Indianapolis Colts |
| 24. Jason Witten - Dallas Cowboys | |
| 25. Dallas Goedert - Philadelphia Eagles | |
| WAIT AND SEE | |
| "Could be a sleeper but you gonna wanna see something first" | |
| 24. Noah Fant - Denver Broncos | 26. Jimmy Graham - Green Bay Packers |
| 25. Trey Burton - Chicago Bears | 27. Michael Colubiale - Jacksonville Jaguars |
| BEST OF THE REST | |
| "Don't let it come to this" | |
| 26. Ben Watson - New England Patriots | 28. Mike Gesicki - Miami Dolphins |
| 27. Jason Witten - Dallas Cowboys | 29. Cameron Brate - Tampa Bay Bucanneers |
| 28. Jordan Thomas - Houston Texans | 30. Vernon Davis - Washington Redskins |
| 29. Gerald Everett - Los Angeles Rams | |
| 30. Ian Thomas - Carolina Panthers |
