Using our rules for our money leagues, we came up with a schedule strength ranking for the tight end position. We are using our fantasy defenses report to calculate the rankings. This report can be found in all of our leagues under the "reports" heading. We took the schedule of each team and entered the average number of fantasy points allowed to tight ends last season from all of their opponents to get our fantasy points allowed number. This is a good indication of the tight ends with the most favorable schedules for fantasy scoring for the coming season.

The tight end position was very top heavy last year, so finding the players that could emerge this year might be vital to a lot of fantasy teams if they hope to win their league this year. Players with a favorable schedule could help push their production forward. Delaine Walker battled injury last year but was heavily targeted when on the field. He could be a good buy-low candidate this season, having the easiest fantasy schedule for tight ends. Some other players with favorable schedules are Hunter Henry, Eric Ebron and Charles Clay. You might want to bump up these players in your rankings a little. Things are looking up for them because of an easy fantasy schedule for tight ends.

Some players that might be a concern this year are Jason Witten, Jordan Reed and Greg Olsen. Witten is coming out of retirement to face the toughest fantasy schedule for tight ends. The year end might help but he showed signs of slowing down his last year in the league and this schedule won’t help matters. Reed has all sorts of potential but hasn’t lived up to the hype and gets the third toughest schedule for tight ends. And Olsen is coming off another injury-plagued season and is a year older. He also has the fifth toughest fantasy schedule for tight ends. Take a look at the entire list below closely before ranking your tight ends for the coming year.
