Tight end is the thinnest position in Fantasy football, so you can't exercise too much patience when planning to address the position in drafts. The best TEs will start going off the board in round three of drafts, and it is recommended to grab one of the top options instead of dealing with Fantasy frustration at the position throughout the season.
