Last week, ClutchPoints released picks for 3 undervalued tight ends in fantasy by ADP for 2021. But, there's no guarantee you'll get those guys or the other ones you want, and there could easily be a spot in the later rounds where a tight end has slipped past his ADP and tempts you to grab him.

As with any other position, drafting these perceived values can be a trap – often players are overvalued at their ADP in the first place.

Drafting an overvalued tight end isn't as big of a deal than it is at other positions, given how scarce value is at the position in general, but it still hurts to use a pick on a guy whose production doesn't match the price. Here are three tight ends you want to avoid based on their ESPN ADPs, as of August 26th. (PPR scoring)

3. Noah Fant – Denver Broncos (ADP 77, TE8)

It pains me to place Fant on the overvalued list, as he's one of the most physically talented tight ends to enter the league in recent years. At 6'4β€³, 220 pounds, and with a blazing 4.5 40 yard dash, Fant has the speed of a legitimate wide receiver, and has shown flashes of brilliance over the past two seasons.

In each of the first two weeks of 2020, Fant topped 17 fantasy points, and showed all the signs of a true breakout season. However, he only topped 10 points in 3 of the remaining 12 games he played in, which included one performance where he failed to draw a single target.

While some of that can be drawn up to Drew Lock's struggles at quarterback (league-worst 57.3% completion rate), Teddy Bridgewater does not offer much more promise at QB, despite his more conservative play-style. Bridgewater, during his time with the Vikings, Saints, and Panthers, has yet to support to consistent tight end in fantasy. despite having decent talents in Kyle Rudolph and Jared Cook.

To make matters worse, Courtland Sutton makes his return to the field as well this year, meaning that Denver will have two alpha receivers atop the target pecking order, in Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. Fant's target share will simply not be consistent enough to support him being picked as early as round 7 or 8 in drafts.

2. Rob Gronkowski – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (ADP 121, TE12)

Gronk doesn't have a terribly high ADP, but there simply doesn't seem to be much value in stashing him as a bench tight end over a high-upside dart throw at another position. And he certainly won't be reliable as a starting tight end on any fantasy team, though he most likely will have to be for 12-team leagues and deeper.

He's an intriguing TD-dependent option in standard leagues, but he simply has too minuscule of a target share to warrant weekly consideration.

Gronk put up TE8 numbers last year, buoyed by 7 touchdown catches and a respectable 623 receiving yards. However, the much more athletic O.J. Howard will make his return to the lineup and put a big dent in Gronk's snap count, especially if the Buccaneers want to save him to be healthy come playoff time.

What's more, now that Antonio Brown, Chris Godwin, and Mike Evans are all going to be healthy, Gronk will, at best, be the fourth option for Tom Brady, and well below each of the other three. At worst, he'll be the 6th option, behind Howard and speedster Scotty Miller.

You're better off targeting dart throws like RBs Michael Carter (ADP 122) and Trey Sermon (129) around Gronk's ADP, then streaming guys like Evan Engram, Austin Hooper, and Cole Kmet.

1. Robert Tonyan – Green Bay Packers (ADP 86, TE9)

Tonyan had a stellar 2020 campaign, finishing with 586 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 52 receptions on only 59 targets for a ridiculous 88.1% catch rate and even more bonkers 21.2% TD rate. As league MVP Aaron Rodgers' second-favorite target in the red zone, his performance earned him a top-3 finish among tight ends on the year, regardless of format.

However, targets, talent, schematics, and everything else aside, those are simply numbers that cannot be replicated. Even if Tonyan was able to somehow amass 60 targets once again this year, owners should expect numbers more in the neighborhood of 45 reception and 5 touchdowns.

60 targets is quite optimistic anyways, though. Davante Adams isn't leaving anytime soon, and talented youngster Jace Sternberger will be much improved this year as well, which will take away looks from Tonyan. The Packers also drafted receiver Amari Rodgers this year, who profiles as a solid downfield possession receiver, similar to Tonyan.

While β€œBob” has good enough hands to stay out of fantasy irrelevancy, TD regression alone makes him a worse option than several tight ends going later than him, including Dallas Goedert and Mike Gesicki.
