- Let's hope Jimmy Graham has plenty of opportunities to dunk over the goalposts this season… unless someone else in your league drafts him.
- Prepare for Kyle Rudolph's ADP to rise after his four-catch, 89-yard, one-touchdown performance against the Cardinals. Rudolph's touchdown came on a 51-yard play. Norv Turner is already working his tight end magic on Rudolph.
- Zach Ertz may have weeks where he sees fewer targets because the Eagles will spread the ball around, but it appears as though he will be a consistent red zone threat.
- Travis Kelce is yet another name to consider as a late round tight end. He has a shot at TE1 numbers in 2014.
- It would be nice if the Packers chose one tight end to get the majority of the snaps, but it seems like they will use a committee of Richard Rodgers, Andrew Quarless and Brandon Bostick.
