Nick Vannett

There are a lot of fantasy analysts overlooking Vannett, who was drafted in the third-round a couple years ago waiting in the wings behind both Jimmy Graham and Luke Willson, who are both with new teams in 2018. Yes, the Seahawks did bring in Ed Dickson, but he's not someone who should eliminate Vannett from the starting conversation. He's a big, athletic tight end who could develop into one of Russell Wilson's go-to targets in the red zone.

Nick Vannett to struggle finding a receiving role in 2016

According to Brady Henderson of 710 ESPN Seattle, Seahawks rookie tight end Nick Vannett could struggle to find a receiving role in 2016.

"There are only so many balls to go around in Seattle’s run-first offense, especially for tight ends not named Jimmy Graham," said Henderson. That said, he does believe Vannett will factor heavily in blocking and could see the field plenty as a rookie to fill that role. He remains off the redraft radar, but is worth monitoring and stashing in dynasty leagues.
