While tight ends score far less points on average than their skill position counterparts, there are often a few elite difference-makers who tilt the balance of CFF leagues come playoff time. Focusing on tight ends who play in 12-personnel-friendly systems like Oregon, Iowa and Boston College is always a safe play with built in upside. You should also look to draft tight ends who flex out to the slot or out wide at high rates, as those big-slot types tend to emerge as college fantasy football difference-makers.
This year, three difference-makers in explosive offenses lead the TE position in LSU’s Trey’Dez Green, Oregon’s Jamari Johnson and Texas Tech’s Terrence Carter. Fortunately, even if you miss out on those three stars, there is a deep and talented group of viable CFF tight end options behind them.
