Dynasty Rankings
Tight Ends
9/22/13		 Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends

Every two weeks from now until the end of the season, I will be updating my dynasty rankings for PPR leagues, where each touchdown is worth six points. The age listed will be the player’s age on September 1, 2013.

Considerations for TE

  • Six years of elite production remaining (priority given to younger players)
  • Age
  • Age/skill of supporting cast
  • Talent
  • Durability
  • Proven consistency
  • Coaching/scheme stability
