In the world of fantasy football, running backs, quarterbacks and receivers make up the foundation of most successful teams. However, a stud tight end can turn a solid squad into a championship one, which is why players like Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (1,229 receiving yards in 2019) are regularly drafted in the first few rounds.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller emerged from relative obscurity last year to 1,145 yards and three touchdowns, but such an explosion is rare for a tight end.
