This week we’re talking TEs going into Week 1 as well overall strategy for drafting TEs. While you need a TE on your team there are few issues to take into consideration when drafting. First is that few TEs consistently score a lot of fantasy pts. Only six TEs averaged double digits points last year and one was Tyler Eifert who is out for 4-6 weeks. The #1 TE, Rob Gronkowski only average just over 13 pts. (according to ESPN). The second issue is the relatively high cost of a TE compared to other positions. Let’s break down two players. First is Zach Ertz, the #1 value TE pick at Daily Fantasy Guys. He costs $4,300 at DraftKings and has a cost-per-projected-point of $310. If he were a RB with that cost and projected points he would rank #14 in value, and if he were a WR he would rank #13. So the top value TE doesn’t even crack the Top 10 in value in any other position. Second player to look at is Gronkowski, the undisputed best TE in the league. He has a cost of $7,400 for Week 1 on DraftKings. At Daily Fant
