Fantasy Football: Tight End SOS Beneficiaries & Ideal Late-Round Pairings

With player analysis ramping up throughout the spring, it can be tough to see the forest for the trees. This is the time of year when evaluations start blooming into real draft strategy, and after digging deep into individual profiles here at 4for4, we’re now shifting focus toward how those insights can shape smarter builds.
Today, we’re zeroing in on tight ends and identifying key stretches of the fantasy season where late-round options could thrive. As a bonus, we’ll also highlight ideal pairings that can work together to create a makeshift TE1; the kind of duo that helps you survive (and maybe even thrive) without spending premium draft capital at the position.
The Hot Spots tool takes into account schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed (aFPA) from the 2024 season, and though there were plenty of moving pieces over the offseason, it is still an incredibly useful tool that helped us get on options such as Brock Bowers, Jonnu Smith and Zach Ertz, who were coming off of draft boards in the 9th, 16th, and 17th rounds, respectively.
