1	Brock Bowers Draft Note Bowers had a terrific rookie campaign, finishing with 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns on a whopping 153 targets. The stars aligned early, with Davante Adams traded away and Michael Mayer missing significant time, clearing the runway for Bowers to immediately become the focal point of the Raiders’ passing attack. He handled the volume with ease, showcasing the athleticism and route-running prowess that made him a generational tight end prospect coming out of Georgia. With Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews now in the twilight of their careers, Bowers enters 2025 with a strong case to be the fantasy TE1. He offers elite volume, consistency, and a high floor typically reserved for top-tier wideouts. The arrival of Geno Smith should also provide a boost in quarterback play, potentially improving Bowers' efficiency after a solid (but not spectacular) rookie-season catch rate of 73.2%. In a thinning elite tight end landscape, Bowers stands out as a weekly advantage and should be a second-round pick in most formats. In TE-premium, he's a surefire first-rounder.	LV	8	357	2.05	2.07	1	0	91	1032	5.9	54.4	1
2	Trey McBride Draft Note McBride followed up his 2023 breakout with another highly productive season, catching 111 passes for 1,146 yards in Year 3. While he only scored two touchdowns—bringing his career total to just six on 292 receptions—his elite target share and efficiency keep him firmly in the top tier of fantasy tight ends. He finished third among all tight ends in yards per route run (2.14), just ahead of Brock Bowers, and continues to operate as Kyler Murray’s most trusted target in the Cardinals' passing game. Arizona still lacks serious firepower at wide receiver, which solidifies McBride’s weekly usage. While the lack of touchdowns is frustrating, he’s essentially functioning as a high-floor WR2 from the tight end slot in half- and full-PPR formats. The hope is that positive regression hits in the red zone, and if it does, he has the potential to finish as the overall TE1.	ARI	8	352	3.02	3.06	2	0	98	978	4.4	53.7	1
3	George Kittle Draft Note Kittle is coming off an overall TE1 season and will benefit from the absence of Deebo Samuel. Over the past two seasons, when Samuel has been out, Kittle has averaged 5.4-78-0.47 on 6.6 targets per game (in 17 games) versus 3.6-57-0.43 on 5.1 targets per game (in 14 games). That’s the difference between an overall TE1 season and a midrange TE1 finish. The primary concern with Kittle is age/durability, but he’s only missed six games in the last three seasons, and he’s posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with 25 touchdown catches in his last three seasons. Thus far, he has shown no signs of slowing down. He averaged an eye-popping 2.62 yards per route run last season and was third in YAC/rec (6.6).	SF	14	316	3.10	4.04	3	0	67	972	7.9	47.8	0
4	Sam LaPorta Draft Note LaPorta’s steep decline in targets per game (7.1 to 5.2) in his second season was surprising, as Jameson Williams (91 targets) took over as the team’s No. 2 target. LaPorta will likely settle in as a perennial top 5 fantasy tight end, but perhaps lacks the overall TE1 target upside with a healthy Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown in the mix. Among tight ends, he finished 11th in YAC/rec and 12th in yards per route run, so the efficiency was there. He finished strong, seeing at least six targets in his final eight games and was the TE5 in that span. Hopefully, we’ll look back on his early-season struggles as just a blip in his career as a fantasy producer.	DET	8	259	5.08	6.06	4	0	62	711	6.5	37.3	0
5	Travis Kelce Draft Note The warning signs were there in 2023, and they materialized in 2024. Kelce posted career-lows in receiving yards, touchdowns, YAC per reception, and yards per route run—clear indicators that age may finally be catching up to the future Hall of Famer. Even so, Kelce still finished as the TE6 overall and was the TE8 on a per-game basis, so while the days of him lapping the field at the position may be over, he remains a viable low-end TE1. With Rashee Rice back and Xavier Worthy emerging, there’s more competition for targets than in recent years, but Kelce still plays in a high-functioning offense with Patrick Mahomes at the helm. He’s no longer a positional cheat code, but he’s a solid veteran option for those who wait until the middle rounds to draft a tight end.	KC	10	248	6.09	7.09	6	1	75	638	2.9	36.9	1
6	David Njoku Draft Note Njoku missed six games in 2024 and has missed 11 games in the last four years. Otherwise, he’s been a great fantasy asset in Cleveland despite some suspect quarterback play. He was the TE5 on a per-game basis in 2024 while garnering the third-most targets per game (8.8) at his position. One way or another, I expect the QB play in Cleveland to improve, and that should benefit Njoku along with everyone else.	CLE	9	241	8.06	9.10	8	2	69	565	5.4	33.1	1
7	Evan Engram Draft Note Engram finished with 47 catches for 365 yards and one touchdown while missing eight games with hamstring and shoulder injuries. His 40.6 yards per game were the second-lowest of his career, but not far off his career average (45.6). His 5.2 receptions per game were his third-highest, so naturally his aDOT and yards per reception were relatively low. Tight ends tend to age well, and this is a great landing spot for Engram due to the Broncos' lack of proven pass-catchers and an up-and-coming quarterback, Bo Nix. (This signing is one more reason to target Nix as a rock-solid QB1.)	DEN	12	236	8.04	9.08	10	3	75	535	3.4	33.1	1
8	Tyler Warren Draft Note Warren was the second tight end off the board in April, landing with the Colts at No. 14 overall after a wildly productive senior season at Penn State (104-1,233-8). He’s a big-bodied, athletic target who profiles as an immediate contributor in the passing game. Historically, rookie tight ends struggle to produce fantasy-viable numbers, but Warren’s draft capital and college résumé suggest he could be an exception. The nine first-round tight ends since 2010 who played at least 14 games averaged 56 catches for 657 yards and 3.7 touchdowns as rookies. That’s 7.3 half-PPR points per game, or high-end TE2 production. Warren could hit or exceed that benchmark if the Colts make him a focal point early on. ESPN's Stephen Holder has reported that Warren saw the ball early and often in OTAs, and that offensive involvement has continued into training camp. He's an intriguing 10th-round pick with breakout potential.	IND	11	235	8.02	9.06	9	1	70	572	3.9	33.6	1
9	T.J. Hockenson Draft Note Hockenson returned from ACL/MCL surgery in Week 9 and was a serviceable but uninspiring fantasy option the rest of the way. In 10 games played, he failed to find the end zone and averaged just 7.1 half-PPR points per game, a midrange TE2 pace. That’s a far cry from his 2023 output (95 catches for 960 yards), and it remains to be seen if he can return to that level post-injury. The good news: He plays in a strong Kevin O’Connell offense, and rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy appears ready to run the show. The volume should be there, but whether Hockenson can capitalize hinges on his ability to recapture his pre-injury explosiveness and red zone involvement. He has top-5 upside, but with a TE5 ADP, there’s not a ton of value baked in—making him a slightly risky pick for drafters hoping for a full bounce-back.	MIN	6	230	6.08	7.08	5	-4	60	619	4.6	33.6	0
10	Dallas Goedert Draft Note Goedert is entering his age-30 season, but that’s not a major concern for tight ends, who often age more gracefully than backs or receivers. The bigger issue is his health—he’s missed 15 games over the last three years. When on the field, however, he has consistently played at a low-end TE1 pace. Goedert believes that new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo will unlock more of his game, saying, “What he sees in me in different ways that he’s going to get me the ball I’m really excited for.” There’s reason for optimism: Goedert was second among tight ends in yards per route run and sixth in YAC per reception last year, which suggests he’s been underutilized in Philly’s offense and is capable of significantly more production if the volume rises. He’s a potential value in the middle rounds for drafters willing to bet on better health and a more prominent role.	PHI	9	228	11.08	13.08	15	5	60	676	2.8	35.7	0

In the middle of the draft you are in a good spot to not miss out on any crazy runs, and if you select at the end of the draft order, drafters can take advantage of the third-round reversal and get three picks within the first 25 players.

What is the best draft strategy in SFB14 drafts?

With the scoring as crazy as it is, there is no best strategy for SFB14. In a tournament of this size, being different helps so try to think outside of the box when drafting.

What is the best first-round pick in SFB14 Drafts?

There is no right answer here, as it depends on your specific strategy going into the SFB14 draft. It is a Superflex format with an emphasis on the rushing quarterback, so if you would like to have an elite quarterback, then select Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, or Lamar Jackson. Only one RB needs to start in 2024, so grabbing a top rusher like Christian McCaffrey or Breece Hall could be the way to get out to a solid start. The scoring is also TE premium, so taking Travis Kelce or Sam LaPorta may also serve you well.
