It wasn’t so long ago when taking a tight end in a fantasy draft was an afterthought.

Enter the renaissance age of Gronk, Jimmy Graham and Aaron Hernandez. Tight ends can now be a major force on your fantasy offense. Ask anyone who had Rob Gronkowski last year, and they’ll tell you how many games he almost singlehandedly won. 

The tight end is one of the deepest positions this year in fantasy football. You can still get solid value from aging vets such as Tony Gonzalez or Jason Witten, but if you are lucky enough to get a young stud like Gronk, Graham or Hernandez, you should be able to make some noise in your league.
