Best Pick: Eric Ebron
We've been pumping up Eric Ebron quite a bit this offseason. The 24-year-old tight end is already entering his fourth season in the NFL, and while his receptions and yardage have increased each season of his career, his touchdown totals have been surprisingly low.
Ebron is due for some positive touchdown regression after scoring just twice in 2016. The Lions lost around 26% of their red-zone targets when they lost Anquan Boldin to free agency.
Historically, Ebron fits in with some impressive tight ends.
Since 1980 only 5 TEs had more catches than Eric Ebron through their age-23 season. (Witten, Gronk, AHern, Gonzo, Heap), & 7 had more yards.

Ebron is going 14th among tight ends and is poised to have his best fantasy football season to date.
