Tight ends score fantasy teams points by catching passes, so their scoring stats are the same as the WRs (check out the “Wide receivers” section earlier in this chapter for the breakdown). Non-elite TEs get fewer looks than the top-20 WRs, and average TEs don’t have much value outside of matchup-based starts, but they often get short-yardage TDs and two-point conversions in the red zone, which raises their value. A few truly elite (there’s usually one or two TEs per year that put up #s that would equal top level WRs) can become highly coveted options near the top of the draft. (Head to Chapter 6 for info on scouting TEs.)

As long as your league awards the full 6 points for a receiving TD, consider TEs more valuable than all the kickers and most of the team defenses, but not as valuable as the big-three offensive positions: QB, RB, and WR.
