We’re winding down here, now taking a look at the TE position. It was pretty slim pickings this season when it came to consistency. Injuries to Hockenson, Waller, Kittle and Gronk threw the whole position group into chaos. Let’s see how it shook out…
It would appear that the train keeps rolling through the Jones household. With Mark Andrews ending the year as TE1, but a fairly wide margin (438 points ahead of TE2, Kelce), Jon takes yet another accolade. This one is pretty interesting though, let’s look at what happened.
| Team | TE | |
| 1 | Jones | 1857 |
| 2 | Steve | 1558 |
| 3 | Timmy | 1488 |
| 4 | Dave | 1487 |
| 5 | Trigger | 1410 |
| 6 | Josh | 1270 |
| 7 | Ryan | 1250 |
| 8 | Kronner | 1157 |
| 9 | Tan | 1103 |
| 10 | Kaiser | 1073 |
| 11 | Matt | 991 |
| 12 | Kyle | 913 |
| Avg. Totals | 1296.4 |
This, like the Kicker Award, was Timmo’s to lose, and he had the lead up until he traded away Kelce, who finished as TE2. The problem here wasn’t that he lost Kelce (who didn’t do much the rest of the regular season), but instead refusing to take Dalton Shultz (TE3) back in the trade, and rolling with Dan Arnold instead, who averaged only 7 ppg in the two weeks that Timmo started him. That tanked the average.
The Kelce trade with Kronner followed the Mallrats trading Kittle away to the Dutchmen. FOr the year Trigger finished 5th in TE scoring – but the before and after numbers with Kittle are striking. Prior to the trade, Trigger averaged 47 a game. After getting Kittle, his average for TE jumped to 172. Oof.
Kronner, who this season had Kelce (TE2), Shultz (TE3), and Kittle (TE4) finished 8th in TE scoring. That’s some poor management there.
The highest score of the regular season was 372 by Mark Andrews in week 5, and the lowest was 0, which happened a few times this year.
