When it comes to projected TE dollar values in 2022, theres a noticeable drop-off from the top two tight ends to the rest of the list. Most fantasy football owners would love to have the winning bids for Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews, but paying Sidney Crosby Jersey around $35 for a TE goes against a lot of auction draft strategies. Fortunately, theres still value to be found in the lower tiers, as sleepers and potential breakouts lurk for various prices in both standard and PPR leagues.If you dont want to pay up for Kelce or Andrews but you still want a proven stud, Darren Waller, George Kittle, and Kyle Pitts all offer decent value at around $17-$20. Keep in mind, these prices are based off $200 budgets, and its entirely po sible that any could go for several dollars more or le s than their projections. It really depends on where theyre nominated and how much other owners in your league covet them. Still, its nice to have a price range so you can budget accordingly based on your strategy.DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Pitts could still be a great value pick based off what we saw from him in his first season. Playing second fiddle to Calvin Ridley, Pitts hauled in 68 receptions (110 targets) for 1 Matt Hunwick Kids Jersey ,026 yards and a touchdown. With Ridley now suspended for the season, Pitts figures to be Marcus Mariotas go-to guy, and given his sheer athleticism, it wouldnt be a shock to see Pitts finish as the overall TE1.2022 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | | | Waller and Kittle also provide a good amount of bang for your back a suming they stay healthy, that is. Wallers production might take a step back with the addition of Davante Adams and emergence of Hunter Renfrow, but his rapport with Derek Carr isnt going away. Meanwhile, Kittle likely wont be the 49ers top receiving option after Deebo Samuels breakout 2021, but the real worry is Trey Lance taking over at quarterback. It could wind up benefitting Kris Letang Women Jersey Kittle and the 49ers offense as a whole, but the fear of the unknown is reason enough to make sure you dont overbid for Kittles services.2022 FANTASY SLEEPERS: | | | | | Even if you dont get one of the top-five TEs, there are plenty of high-upside values to consider. The fact that Hunter Henry, Zach Ertz, Mike Gesicki, and Pat Freiermuth are all projected to cost le s than $5 is remarkable. Henry and Freiermuth were particularly TD-reliant last year, but considering Freiermuth was tied for first among tight ends in red-zone targets (20), he could certainly do it again. Ertz and Gesicki are almost surefire locks to record 600-800 yards, so a suming the TDs follow, they would likely finish in the top 10.2022 AUCTION VALUES (Standard PPR): | | | | | Generally, you dont want to rely on $1 or $2 TEs to be your Week 1 starter, but with sleepers like Freiermuth, Cole Kmet , and Irv Smith Jr. , you might be able to get away with it. At the very least, grabbing one of these guys Calen Addison Men Jersey as a backup even if you paid up for Kelce or Andrews is a good way to insure your more expensive investments.2022 RANKINGS TIERS DRAFT STRATEGY: | | | | As with every other position, theres no right way to approach TE in your auction, but you never want to overpay, especially early in the night. Its fine if your strategy includes paying up for Kelce, but be ready to throw in the towel if another owner is playing the same game. Value is key, and there will always be another high-upside player coming up for bid later.Make sure to check back as we continue to update the TE auction values ahead of the first game of the 2022 regular season between the Bills and Rams.To get customized dollar values tailored to your league settings, check out.
