Over the last decade, the tight end (TE) position in fantasy football has largely been defined by three tiers: the big names such as Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham, the middle tier with Hall of Famers Jason Witten and Antonio Gates, and the flyers (remember Coby Fleener?). It was years like 2013 where eight TEs had at least 150 fantasy points and that made the position awesome for fantasy. Last season, there were only three to score 150 points. This displays how in recent years the middle tier ...

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that free-agent tight end Coby Fleener (concussion) is still attempting to be cleared from his concussion issues from last season. "He's still working through the process of getting cleared and he's still working through being without symptoms, but I also felt like for the team it was something that was going to be best for us," Payton said. It's likely the main reason why the Saints cut Fleener. The tight end was a popular breakout candidate when h[...]

The New Orleans Saints are releasing tight end Coby Fleener on Monday, according to a league source. This doesn't come as a big surprise after Fleener disappointed in his two seasons with the team, playing in just 11 games last year due to concussion issues. Fleener caught 72 passes for 926 yards and five touchdowns in his two years with the Saints, and the writing was on the wall when they signed Benjamin Watson in free agency. [...]

New Orleans Saints tight end Coby Fleener and wide receiver Brandon Coleman, as well as running back Daniel Lasco and wideout Tommylee Lewis, are expected to be on the roster bubble in training camp this summer. Fleener didn't live up to his free-agent expectations in New Orleans last year and has been in jeopardy for months, especially after the team signed Benjamin Watson. [...]

Howard, Sterling Shepard, Travis Kelce, Tyler Eifert, Zach Ertz and more! So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at the quarterback , running back and wide receiver positions. This time we're looking at tight ends who improved their stock or saw it plummet. Tight end isn't the most glamorous position, especially in terms of fantasy numbers, but it's an essential part of the game nonetheless. If you hitched your TE wagon onto one of these rising stars early, it may have made a huge difference. On the other hand, clinging onto perenially-injured pl[...]Keep on reading: Biggest Risers and Fallers - Tight Ends

This article references Josh Hill and more! New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill caught three passes for 54 yards against Minnesota in the second round of the playoffs. Both are season highs for a sparsely-used tight end that was a backup for most of the year. Hill, like any receiver in the Saints offense, often has a chance to score or make a big play, but he isn't a dependable option. It's unclear what the Saints will do at the tight end position next year, as starter Coby Fleener has suffered several concussions in his career and end[...]Keep on reading: Josh Hill Catches Three Passes for 54 Yards Against Vikings

This article references Coby Fleener and more! New Orleans Saints tight end Coby Fleener said Sunday's concussion suffered against the Rams is the fifth of his career. Fleener did not say whether he was including college concussions, but this still is not good. It would be a surprise if he played in Week 13 against Carolina. If Fleener indeed misses, Josh Hill and Michael Hoomanawanui will share tight end duty, but neither would be a wise fantasy play.Keep on reading: Coby Fleener Has Lengthy Concussion History
