Tier 1 (No-questions asked studs)
1. Travis Kelce (Looks every bit the part. He's the top TE for me and the only one in this tier)
2. Zach Ertz (It's all come together! He's with Wentz long term and Wentz loves him)
Tier 2 (Studs, but with a small concern)
3. Rob Gronkowski (Top producer when healthy. He's never healthy for long though)
4. Evan Engram (Looks every bit the part of a fantasy stud, though he'll need to block eventually)
Tier 3 (I think these guys will be long-term studs, but I wouldn't gamble on it)
5. Jordan Reed (Concussions & injuries, but that's the only issue)
6. Hunter Henry (Has only produced inconsistently, but he's extremely young)
7. Jimmy Graham (Is he back for real? He's got 3-5 years left to be elite)
8. OJ Howard (Lack of early production doesn't concern me)
Tier 4 (The tier of TEs who could finish below 30 or top 12 depending on the year)
9. Greg Olson (The injury hurts, and he wasn't young before it. Does he come back full force?)
10. David Njoku (It's extremely difficult to judge anyone on the Browns offense, but Njoku could be good)
11. Kyle Rudolph (He's not bad, but he's not good. Emergence of two legit WRs hurts his upside)
12. Delanie Walker (Scores a lot of points, but how long does he stay this good?)
13. Austin Sefarian-Jenkins (One of two TEs [Njoku] that I can see leaving tier 4 for a better tier)
14. Austin Hooper (As long as Julio and Freeman/Coleman are there, he won't be consistent)
15. Tyler Eifert (If not for injuries, would be tier 1. I'm not sure he'll play sustained snaps again)
16. Eric Ebron (Lions keep giving him chances and he keeps watching them bounce off of his hands)
17. Jason Witten (Ride this train till it stops, he's been insanely reliable)
18. Jack Doyle (Having a great year, but what happens in 2018?)
19. George Kittle (Looks... okay. Solid for a rookie though)
Tier 5 (God help you if one of these guys is your starting TE)
20. Charles Clay (Good luck choosing the right weeks to start him)
21. Gerald Everett (He's got the talent, but I won't move him up until he proves that he can play consistently)
22. Cameron Brate (At best, a solid fill-in for the remainder of 2017)
23. Jared Cook (He's been solid this year, but I don't think it lasts long)
24. Jake Butt (Would have been a first rounder, if not for the injury)
