Footballguys Consensus
TE4
Andy Hicks
TE4
Sam LaPorta followed up his historic rookie season with a terrible first half of the year where he ranked 19th. From then on he ranked fifth. He should be a dominant figure once again, especially if he avoids a slow start. For dynasty managers, be happy if he is on your roster.
Josh Fahlsing
TE3
He is settling in as a reliable tight end option with a high floor but a ceiling capped somewhat by the other weapons around him.
