Ertz, Kelce among decade's greats

Not Gronk, but not bad either

Rob Gronkowski has pretty much rewritten the record book for tight ends, a Hall of Famer if he never plays another snap. But while Travis Kelce and Zach Ertz are a step behind, they're having pretty awesome careers thus far, too.

Gronkowski has been in the league for eight years, and he's produced six of the top 100 fantasy seasons by a tight end in the past decade. (1 point for every 10 yards and 6 for touchdowns.) Three of the top 5, in fact, which is remarkable.

Ertz has been in the league for five years, and he's also been pretty good -- three of the top 100 fantasy seasons for his position in that span. Kelce has four of them.

Table shows the top 100 fantasy seasons by tight ends over the past 10 years. The 2017 representatives are in bold. The other four to make the list last year were Jimmy Graham, Delanie Walker, Kyle Rudolph and rookie Evan Engram.
