How deep is TE this season? (1 Viewer)

Is it wise to wait on drafting TE's this season? Can get guys like Shiancoe, Olsen, H. Miller, Heap, Cook very late. Good idea to wait on TE this season, even in 2 TE leagues?

Obviously depends on the type of league - normal leagues the TE pool is deep enough to wait on a starter although not sure I like any of the above as a TE1........In two TE leagues I would want one of the top 8-10 and then either one with good upside or another in the 12-18 range depending on how good your first was.

When it comes to tight ends in fantasy, its usually a couple guys with a whole lot of value. If you fail to get one of them, it doesnt really matter when or if you draft one at all. If mediocrity is ok, the TE position is always deep for fantasy. If you want a stud, its never deep.

Fairly well-said here. This year's likely top guys are Gates, Finley, Clark, Witten, and Davis, and each of the last 3 guys has a few questions. Still, with most of those players you're probably expecting at least 70-80 receptions and a lot of scoring opportunities. After that, it gets risky. There are a lot of guys out there who'll get you 700 yards and 6 TDs, but not a lot who'll really crush it.

I hope John Carlson to get back to the type of potential he was flashing his rookie year.
