2010 Fantasy Football TE Dynasty Rankings

Dynasty and keeper leagues require a slightly different mindset than standard leagues. You’re playing for keeps, long term. That said, it’s important to consider how many players you actually get to keep each year when assessing a player's value when it comes time to make a cut, or when draft day rolls around.

Don't give up on the Witten/Romo Connection just yet

The Tight End is tough position to make an argument for keeping, even in a dynasty league. Each season only the top three or four players at the position score well enough to warrant consideration, and then only at the equivalent of a low end number one or high end number two WR.
