LeGarrette Blount was a force to be reckoned with at the end of last season.

Despite scoring just three times in five games... Read More

Three Undervalued Tight Ends to Target in 2015 Drafts
While the tight end position is not the most studied and thought out of the offensive positions (in fact, it might be last), an undervalued tight end taken at the right time can really boost a fantasy team.
