We enter the 2024 NFL season with a new approach at the tight end position. Gone are the days where one tight end (Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce, etc.) dominated the entire fantasy football landscape. No, we're in a new generation at the tight end position — one filled with opportunity as the league finally fully embraces the potential of the receiving tight end.

Sure, Kelce is still in the mix among the top options, but as he prepares to turn 35 in October (and had a quiet game in Week 1), fantasy managers have plenty of others offering upside. Consider second-year tight end Sam LaPorta, for instance, coming off an 86-889-10 campaign that earned him the coveted title of TE1 on the season.
