Tight end (3):

Depth Player
1 Travis Kelce
2 Deon Yelder
3 Ricky Seals-Jones

I moved Deon Yelder up on the depth because of his experience in the system. I like his chances to make the roster as a blocker, but he’s also a sneaky good athlete who can catch the ball too. He didn’t get much action last season, besides playing on special teams and a few splashy plays in the Lions game.

The team needs to find someone to replace Blake Bell because the team lined up in 12 personnel (two tight ends on the field) on over 30 percent of their offensive snaps in 2019. That number is which is good for the fourth-most in the NFL.

It’s going to be an interesting battle throughout training camp because guys like Nick Keizer and John Lovett are also both really good options who can block. They’re not going to go down without a fight either.
