Best NFL Tight Ends Going Into the 2018 Season
Tight end is a valuable position in the NFL. We’ve had some great tight ends over the years, especially in 2017. Some had a breakthrough season, others, not so much. Here, we’re looking at the top ten best NFL tight ends going into the 2018 season.Like Kelce, Ertz had a career year in 2017, with 824 receiving yards for 8 touchdowns. Philadelphia’s offense is one of the best in the NFL, and you should expect more from Ertz this year with Carson Wentz returning.
Kelce had a solid 2017 season, racking up a little over 1,000 yards for 8 touchdowns. Kelce will be a favorite target of Patrick Mahomes in 2018.
He had 10 touchdowns in 2017, but Graham is getting older, and is well after his prime in New Orleans. He however still is a red-zone threat, and can prove doubters about his age wrong.
Doyle finally made his first pro bowl in 2017. And with lack of depth behind him at tight end, he’ll have the chance to produce more.
Having a good tight end opposite to him makes him a little less valuable, but don’t underestimate Brate in the red-zone.
He is getting pretty old, and he could be on Tennessee’s chopping block after or during the 2018 season. Walker needs to step up, or else he’ll be a free agent. Still, he offers veteran experience to a young Titans offense.
