Instant Fantasy Analysis - TE Tre McKitty, Chargers

[The Football Guru 214]

Team Fit: McKitty is the rare skill-position prospect who played more games (seven) than he caught passes (six) last season, but it's hard to hold that against him. Colleges consistently do a poor job of incorporating tight ends into their offenses. With the Chargers, McKitty will have a realistic shot of competing with Donald Parham for the right to start in 2022 should Los Angeles move on from Jared Cook after the season. Despite his lack of production, McKitty was invited to the Senior Bowl and showed well. He does not lack for athleticism and is a decent bet to develop into a solid starting tight end down the road.

What does it mean in redraft? Almost nothing. Cook will serve as the bridge for at least this season and maybe longer. As long as he is around, McKitty is unlikely to see much time on the field even if he beats out Parham.

Where should I expect him to go in my rookie drafts? Check back next week.
