Trey McBride and Brock Bowers Lead Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings
Trey McBride and Brock Bowers are expected to be top picks among tight ends in fantasy football redraft leagues this season. The two tight ends had impressive performances in the previous season, with McBride setting a new single-season record for receptions by a tight end and Bowers averaging at least 14.5 receiving PPR points per game despite his team's struggles in passing.
McBride's success was partly due to his team's circumstances, with a high number of passes attempted due to injuries to running backs and wide receivers. However, with a new head coach and a more balanced offense expected, McBride's production may be affected by the team's changes. Bowers, on the other hand, has seen his team overhaul its roster, adding a new head coach, quarterback, and receiver, which may introduce some uncertainty but also points to a positive direction.
The tight end position has seen an increase in opportunities due to the league's reliance on 12 and 13 personnel, allowing more tight ends to see the field and potentially emerge as fantasy starters. With McBride and Bowers leading the pack, the sophomore class, including Colston Loveland, Harold Fannin Jr., and Tyler Warren, is also expected to produce multiple fantasy starters.
