Rookie Tight End Spotlight
We all know a tight end is a quarterback's best friend, so here are the top ranked rookie tight ends that can be fantasy football TE options now, or in the near future.
Fantasy Focus
The Dolphins continued their mediocre ways in 2014 with their second consecutive 8-8 season, even after a promising 5-3 start. With the Tom Brady suspension looming, the Dolphins are looking to capitalize and make the postseason for the first time since 2008.
Minnesota Vikings: There is a lot to like about the 2015 Minnesota Vikings’ offense. The long anticipated return of Adrian Peterson will make all the headlines and rightfully so. But there are other offensive players who could see big boosts in their stats by playing another year under offensive coordinator Norv Turner, who can be an offensive genius with the right set of players. Head coach Mike Zimmer is a defense-first guy, so Turner will be able to run his preferred style of an efficient passing game with a power run game. It will also be starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater’s first full sixteen game season. This offense will put up respectable numbers in the passing game and should be close to the top in rushing yardage.

Rookie running backs are to fantasy football owners what presents are to kids at Christmas: New, exciting and hopefully something you play with for a while, but at times the interest wavers quickly. Here's an early look at five of the first-year back owners worth jumping for joy over, at least come draft time.
Fantasy Focus
The New England Patriots are coming off another Super Bowl winning season, their fourth since 2001. After losing 41-14 to the Kansas City Chiefs in week four, the Patriots went on a seven game winning streak propelling them to 12-4 finish in 2014. As the top seed in the AFC, the Patriots knocked off both Baltimore and Indianapolis on their way to their eighth Super Bowl appearance. In Super Bowl XLIX, the Patriots took down the Seahawks by a score of 28-24 thanks in large part to Tom Brady and undrafted rookie cornerback, Malcolm Butler, who intercepted Russell Wilson on the Patriots goal line in the final seconds of the game to secure the victory. Since then, they have stayed in sporting news for reasons both good and bad.
Arizona Cardinals:
The Arizona Cardinals ended their 2014 with a whimper when third string quarterback Ryan Lindley was beaten down by the Panthers in the Wild Card Round. Their regular season play with Carson Palmer however was fantastic, with the team going 8-1 and showcasing an impressive offense. The Cards haven’t had a superstar NFL fantasy option since the decline of Larry Fitzgerald, but there are some solid mid and late round options which can be valuable assets as reserves.
