With the right combination of moves (and a lot of luck), dynasty fantasy football can be pretty easy. I say that in jest because those moves are far from obvious, and the luck seems to be as elusive as a snow leopard.
One of the more challenging positions to evaluate and make actionable progress in fantasy football every season is at tight end. Only one manager is blessed to have Travis Kelce on their roster, leaving the tumbleweeds and table scraps at the position to be warred over.

Dynasty Rookie Sleepers: Josh Whyle
One of the more puzzling picks was that of Josh Whyle by the Tennessee Titans. As I dig deeper into his tape, I like his fit with the team more with each passing day. The Titans have the weakest receiving room in the NFL by far. After Treylon Burks are a bunch of guys with very limited production (if any) in the NFL. Chig Okonkwo was amazing on a per-touch basis last season, but Tennessee’s offense was dreadful at moving the ball through the air.
Between Ryan Tannehill and newly-drafted Will Levis, the QB position seems to have been stabilized. It was an injury to Tannehill that prompted the team to thrust Malik Willis onto the field before he was close to ready. Okonkwo and Burks will be the main targets in 2023, but don’t be surprised if the 6-foot-6 1/2, 249-pound Whyle is given an opportunity to shine as a receiver.
He was a key reason why Desmond Ridder was able to parlay Cincinnati’s magical 2021 season into a third-round pick in the draft. Will Levis is more talented than Ridder and should be able to work in the long-term in this type of offense. Whyle is a deep sleeper who will likely sit on waivers after dynasty rookie drafts.
