Each year, heading into draft season, we start to settle upon players we love and players we hate, relative to ADP. This article will dive into the latter portion, my fantasy football fades. We never like to see players perform poorly, but we also need to identify players that look to be in disadvantageous situations. Here are three fantasy football tight end fades for 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantasy Football Tight End Fades for 2022<\/b><\/h2>\n

Before we get into these fantasy football fades, I want to preface this by saying that all of these are relative to ADP. Of course, if any of them slip a few rounds, I\u2019ll take a chance on them but that rarely happens. These are all based on <\/span>Fantasypros PPR ADP<\/span><\/a> data as of this writing.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. T.J. Hockenson, Detroit Lions<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n

Coming into the 2019 season, T.J. Hockenson was being talked about as the next George Kittle. The comparison made sense as both played at Iowa and are similar in size. The Detroit Lions even took Hockenson eighth overall in the 2019 draft so the hype was huge. Since then, Hockenson has been solid but hasn\u2019t made that leap into the elite tier of tight ends like people expected. Last year was dubbed as the year Hockenson would make the leap but instead, he was a bit of a disappointment as he finished as the TE7 in fantasy points per game, the same as he finished the year before. TE7 is still a good finish but for an elite prospect like Hockenson, who looked to have a clear path to a huge target share and was being drafted near the top 50 overall and as high as TE4 at times, he did not live up to that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Give me Dallas Goedert over Dalton Schultz and TJ Hockenson all day. No reason to be behind them in ADP, let alone 20+ spots<\/p>\n
