TE Tiers
Graham looked to have fairly good chemistry with Wilson in the preseason. Forget the blocking stats, it’s preseason, Graham will be running more routes once the season starts. That said Greg Olsen could be the safer option. Kelce’s talent is there, maybe with the emergence of a 2nd threat in Maclin, and more targets he fulfills his potential. I would bank on it.
Jordan Cameron has most upside of next group, I don’t trust Martellus Bennett. Gates is worth taking late and stashing for Week 5 arrival.
Take a shot on Eric Ebron, Jordan Reed, Josh Hill and Richard Rodgers in the later rounds.
Peyton Manning loves the tight end, but will it be Owen Daniels? Maybe, he has better shot than Virgil Green.
Max Williams has a lot of talent, and Flacco doesn’t have many options.
