Guess who is almost back on top of the fantasy TE scoring leaderboard?
So we all know that Rob Gronkowski once again reigns supreme among fantasy tight ends, and that he is usually followed by Travis Kelce and Zach Ertz (or the other way around) in the weekly rankings. But if I were to tell you at the beginning of the year that Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Evan Engram and Cameron Brate were going to be top-10 options by Week 7, you'd have thought I was crazy.
Well, it’s true. It’s Week 7 and those three are top-10 options. Fortunately, we also welcome back Jimmy Graham, Jason Witten and Charles Clay back from bye, although Tyler Eifert won’t be returning this season. But Tyler Kroft has been solid so he could be an option for those who stream tight ends or a needing some help at the position.
