New on SI: Kittle, Kelce Top Dynasty Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings

Productive and consistent tight ends are hard to come by in fantasy football leagues and even more so in dynasty formats. Fantasy managers with Travis Kelce and George Kittle already on the roster should count their blessings but not all fantasy managers are lucky enough to have those studs on their squads. After Kelce and Kittle there’s a bit of a drop-off in the next tier but Sports Illustrated’s Matt DeLima lists Hunter Henry and Mark Andrews as the next paid of sought after tight ends. For the complete list of DeLima’s tight end rankings in dynasty leagues, check out his article. SI’s Jaime Eisner and Frank Taddeo joined Bill Enright to discuss DeLima’s rankings and provide some insight on the above-mentioned playmakers. Read the full transcript from their conversation below.

Bill Enright: Time to go over our Dynasty tight end rankings. For that, I bring on two of our fantasy analysts here at Sports Illustrated, Jaime Eisner and Frank Taddeo. Fellas, we got top four tight ends in Dynasty. I think everyone pretty much knows the consensus here, but we'll start from four go down to number one.

Bill Enright: Frank, I'll go to you first with numbers three and four. 

Frank Taddeo: Yeah, actually, build it for me right now. I'm a little bit down on Hunter Henry this year because I'm just not really so sure. I don't really trust that situation under center for the Los Angeles Chargers. We know that Philip Rivers is no longer there. And for me right now, Hunter Henry is a complete fade. I think there's actually I actually have him on my bust list this year. I'm not really high on him, in terms of Mark Andrews, sign me up. He's one of the favorite targets of Lamar Jackson. He's a red zone hound. He's at ease. He's dependable. He's reliable. The guy can make athletic plays down the seam. Mark Andrews is clearly somebody posing redraft leaks as well as Dynarski leaks. Sign me up. I want Mark Andrews for many years to come.

Bill Enright:  All right, Jaime, let me go over to you for obviously Travis Kelce and George Kittle, no surprise there, by the way.

Jaime Eisner:  Yeah, the top two isn't a surprise anywhere, whether it's redraft dynasty or wherever. The difference here is the four year age gap between them. George Kittle comes in on number one on Matt DeLima's list best because of that. He is the focal point of San Francisco's passing offense. As good as Deebo Samuel is everything runs through George Kittle. And number two is Travis Kelce, who just continues to put up numbers in the absolute prime of his career, has the best quarterback in football throwing him the ball. His prime is going to last a few more years. And you wouldn't go wrong having either one of these guys, but you got to take the guy that's a little bit younger. Take the 26-year-old George Kittle as the number one tight end off the board and dynasty formats.

Bill Enright:  We have all the rankings for quarterback, running back, wide receiver and now tight end up on si.com/fantasy. Check it out.
