Devy Fantasy Football Prospect Rankings: Tight End (2024)

If you’re looking for a dynasty league on steroids, you might want to consider joining a devy league. Devy was first created in the 1990s by Scott Fish of Scott Fish Bowl fame, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular formats in fantasy football.

In devy leagues, you draft college prospects and stash them until they declare for the NFL Draft. Unlike the Campus2Canton (C2C) format, you don’t score any fantasy points from your prospects’ college production. Instead, you secure their rights for the future.

Devy fantasy football leagues aren’t for the weak and require more research than your standard dynasty league, but I highly recommend the format for those looking for a deeper experience. If you do the work, you can build superteams and create a massive advantage over your league mates.

Devy Fantasy Football Prospect Rankings: Tight End

Devy Fantasy Football 101

As noted above, devy leagues have a built-in minor league for your dynasty team. Each league is different, but the majority require each prospect to be enrolled in college. That means you can’t draft the local high school product you saw dominating on Friday night.

However, you can draft true freshmen like Jeremiah Smith, Micah Hudson, and Ryan Williams. Just make sure to pay close attention to your particular league settings. Some leagues will have unlimited devy roster spots, while others might have you limited to only a few devy prospects each. Drafting all true freshmen would lock your roster in place for at least three years and severely limit your flexibility and depth.

Devy Tight End Prospects

Colston Loveland (Michigan): 2025
Ben Yurosek (Georgia): 2025
Oscar Delp (Georgia): 2025
Luke Hasz (Arkansas): 2026
Luke Lachey (Iowa): 2025

With Brock Bowers taking his talents to the Las Vegas Raiders, there’s no longer a consensus TE1 in college football. Colston Loveland, fresh off a National Championship, is my TE1 due to production (45 receptions, 649 yards, 4 TD in 2024) and presumed draft capital.

Down in Athens, Georgia tight ends Ben Yurosek and Oscar Delp will have equal opportunity to replace Bowers’ production. Delp has long been the presumed heir apparent, but Delp, a talented transfer from Stanford, could throw a wrench in those plans.
