I might be in the minority but I roll the dice on Gesicki. He's a high level SPARQ athlete, broke out at the end of last year, should have a new rookie QB, Tua or Herbert. Additionally, he's a huge red zone treat and they plan on using him in the slot a lot this year which could cause some nice mismatches. I don't love Engram because he's unreliable, Hooper doesn't have a team right now, and Ertz looks to be slowing down and is being pushed by Goedert for targets.

Same as you listed them:
Hooper
Ertz
Engram
Gesicki
I wouldn't fault anyone for going with Ertz if they are going all out to win year 1. But I think Hooper gives you similar production with a much longer value window.

In a TE premium start up, my rankings are:

Engram
Ertz
Hooper
Gesicki

I could see switching Ertz and Engram, especially if you think your team is built to win right off the bat. I like all four of them though.

2018: Champions!
2019: Champions!!
2020: 2nd Place

2022: Champions!!!
.5 PPR/$200 budget
1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 WR/TE, 1 K, 2 DL, 2 LB, 2 DB, 3 DL/LB/DB

QB - Mahomes
RB - CMC, White, Sanders, Herbert, Foreman, McKinnon
WR - Diggs, Ridley, Godwin, KJ Osborn, Woods, Claypool, Campbell
TE - Kittle, Goedert, Gesicki
K - Bass
DL - Reddick, Jones, M. Sweat
LB - R. Smith, Wagner, Leonard, White, Perryman, Cashman
DB - Byard, Bell, Hobbs, Jenkins

2024: 3rd

Team Two:

This is quite easily hooper for me. Finished as TE6 in my league last year while missing games with injury. I’d then go Engram followed by Gesicki and Ertz in 4th

Yea I’ll take the gamble on a stud athlete on a developing team going into his 3rd (?) year over the older TE who is being fazed out by Goedert. I may be the minority though

If I owned Ertz I’d probably feel different but with an unbiased opinion in dynasty I’ll take a guy on the way as opposed to the way down

I may be in the minority, but I'd have them

Engram
Hooper
Ertz
Gesicki

If I'm going for proven asset in a win now mentality I wouldn't blame someone for taking Ertz at the top. Hooper moving to another team also has a question mark for me.
