LA Rams: Ranking NFC West TEs for fantasy football drafts

Which of the TEs in the NFC West should LA Rams fans draft for their fantasy team? Here’s a look.

The art of evaluating talent is difficult to define. Imagine LA Rams fans trying to determine which player fits into their ideal fantasy football team strategy. Are you looking for yardage players or touchdown scorers? Even if you make the right call, you face injuries, inclement weather, and a host of other variables that can derail even the most prudent draft process.

The NFC West Division has a wealth of talent among the skill players. Quarterbacks are considered among the top in fantasy circles. Wide receivers and running backs are just as talented. However, there is a great divide in the tight end group.

The Good The Bad and the Ugly

Remember the old Clint Eastwood spaghetti western from 1966, “the Good, the Bad and the Ugly”? The NFC West TEs can be classified into those three characteristics. How do you define each group?

The Good can be defined as a tight end that contributes weekly to your fantasy point total. Bad tight ends are defined as spotty contributors or inconsistent. Those tight ends that are just a blip on the weekly scoring report are the Ugly.

With those definitions in mind, the following is a ranking of the tight ends in the NFC West. Expect no surprises in the rankings or groupings. Really, they should not be surprising or even shocking, statistics are what they are.

Here’s a look at the first group.
