Fantasy Football: WR/TE Instead of TE

For the last 3 seasons, my fantasy football league has not included an exclusive Tight End spot. In my 14-team league this season, we have 3 ‘WR/TE’ positions to fill. However, both ESPN and Yahoo standard leagues still have a ‘TE’ position. In most leagues, Wide Receivers and Tight Ends are the only 2 positions that get points from the exact same categories: receptions, reception yards and reception touchdowns. In addition, there are only a few dominating TEs (Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham) plus a few more “good” TEs. These next 3 to 6 TEs can give you solid production in about half of the weeks of the season. Afterwards, the rest are terrible, having maybe 1 or 2 good weeks in the entire year. The position of TE is so dreadful without any depth that it should be included with the WRs. If you are going to be the commissioner of a fantasy football league next year, you should consider eliminating your TE and change to WR/TE.
