Sam LaPorta was TE1 last year and is the favorite to repeat: His rookie season was historic when compared to other rookies, and his main competition to be the first tight end drafted will be 35 years old by midseason.

His limiting factors remain the same: He still needs to compete for targets with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs and plays for a run-first team.
