Brock Bowers too rich, Travis Kelce too risky: 6 TEs to avoid most in 2025 fantasy football drafts

Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer and NFL.com's' Michelle Magdziuk each give their picks for the three tight ends you should plan to avoid drafting most in your 2025 fantasy football leagues. Michelle tells you why the Raiders' Brock Bowers is too pricey to take as the TE1 off the board in the top 20 overall, especially with the added opportunity cost at missing out at a stud at either RB and WR. Meanwhile, Vinnie stays in the AFC West to stick with the trend on why not to consider Chiefs' Travis Kelce a little later. Other tight ends not feeling the love from LOFF's co-hosts are the Packers' Tucker Kraft, the Eagles' Dallas Goedert and two more.
