The Browns further hinted at how important tight ends will be in their new offense when they drafted FAU's Harrison Bryant. A girthy tight end with sneaky upside, Bryant basically played the Travis Kelce role in the Owls' offense in 2019, catching 65 passes for 1,004 yards and seven scores and earned the John Mackey Award as the nation's top tight end. He figures to be more of a project-type player for the Browns in 2020, but if he can impress in training camp he could carve out a small role because he does have some long-term potential (he could be David Njoku's eventual replacement). That's why you can find him late in Dynasty/keeper formats and in Round 4 and beyond in rookie-only drafts.
Cole Kmet might be ready to help the Bears offense, but he's unlikely to help your Fantasy team much. The big tight end from Notre Dame is a better receiver than blocker but still needs help in his technique. Chicago signed Jimmy Graham earlier this offseason and can lean on him in 2020 before turning over the position to Kmet in 2021. While the Bears might envision him as their new Travis Kelce, he could end up being more like Kyle Rudolph, which would be great for him but not too great for Fantasy. If you like his Week 1 matchup, draft him with one of your last picks in seasonal leagues. Otherwise, expect him to go with a late-rounder in Dynasty/keeper drafts and with a pick between the middle of Round 2 and the end of Round 3 in rookie-only formats.
The Seahawks collected another tight end when they drafted Colby Parkinson. The 6-foot-7, 252-pounder was a blast to watch at Stanford if only because he towered over smaller defenders. He wasn't very productive (12 touchdowns in 39 games), nor did he play with power, but Seattle loves tall targets for Russell Wilson to throw at. Parkinson might be impactful as soon as 2021, making him worth a late-round dart throw in rookie-only drafts.
