Fantasy football: 3 tight end sleepers to target in 2024

Here are three sleepers to target at the tight end position in fantasy football for the 2024 season.

With summer break just around the corner, fantasy football managers will be thrust into drafts before they even know it.

Finding sleepers is the name of the game when it comes to overachieving in fantasy football, and it’s never too early to start looking for those potential game-changers.

The tight end position is a tricky beast to understand. For most leagues, the elite tight ends truly make a difference. Going into 2024, there’s a bucket of four tight ends who could likely be considered elite options.

That would be Travis Kelce, Sam LaPorta, Mark Andrews and Trey McBride. The rest of the position is mostly a crapshoot where managers are hoping for some respectable yardage and some touchdown receptions here and there.

But finding a tight end sleeper can make a difference. Those who drafted LaPorta or McBride late in 2023 were rewarded with a high-end starter nearly every week. Their tight end position went from an unknown to a game-changer.

Here’s a look at three tight end sleepers to keep an eye on going into the 2024 season:

In this release, my favorite sleepers and deep sleepers (late-round fliers) will be addressed in the context of 12-team, 16-round drafts.

The Huddle’s official sleepers will come from the fingertips of David Dorey, and mine also will be updated along the way.

Any player listed has an elevated chance of exceeding expectations, but that doesn’t automatically make them all a lock to dominate. Going from being rarely drafted to potentially producing lineup-worthy results fits the bill, too.
