Tight End (3)

Logan Thomas, Hale Hentges, Jeremy Sprinkle

I said in my rookie stat predictions article a while back that I don’t expect Thaddeus Moss to make a huge impact in 2020, and I’m sticking to that. I could be wrong, but I think a lot of new players may be at a disadvantage with the shortened offseason and preseason slate, and Moss is one of those players.

In my opinion, Logan Thomas seems like a lock to be one of the top tight ends, given how excited Ron Rivera and company are about his athleticism and untapped potential. I have Hale Hentges ahead of Jeremy Sprinkle, for the sole reason that he better took advantage of his opportunities last year. And while Sprinkle was underwhelming in 2019, I think his foundation will be enough to buoy him ahead of other guys like Moss.
