Fantasy Football: 5 Late-Round Tight Ends With Huge Touchdown Potential
After last year's dumpster fire that was the tight end position, you're likely reluctant to spend there in 2017. Which players going near the ends of drafts have the touchdown potential we so desperately need?

Jack Doyle, Indianapolis Colts

Average Draft Position: 11.02 (TE12)

If you've read any lists about fantasy football sleepers, late-round targets, etc, you've seen Jack Doyle's name before. You're going to see it here. And you're going to see it again. But it's for a good reason.

We don't even need to stroll down any narrative street about Andrew Luck's usage of tight ends. That stuff will all at least partially depend on the personnel an offense has in a given year, and things have clearly changed over the offseason. This is more about the team's touchdown potential and what Doyle did last year.

Doyle obviously made a bang right away in Week 1, hauling in a couple of touchdowns on four targets. But his role took off for good once Dwayne Allen got hurt in Week 6. From that game on, Doyle never played fewer than 60% of the Indianapolis Colts' snaps, and he was second on the team in targets with a 14.89% target market share. His market share in the red zone increased to 20.45%. That could take a hit with Donte Moncrief being healthy, but Doyle's potential is still solid.

Even though Doyle has been getting plenty of hype this offseason, his ADP is yet to budge. He's going with the second pick in the 11th round now, actually down from a peak at the end of the 10th round earlier this month. He's not sneaky by any means, but people don't seem to be buying in, allowing us to give him a slot on our rosters.
