Tight End Rank: #61 Overall: #364
Royal watched as Ben Watson emerged as the go-to tight end in the Browns' offense last season. Royal caught just five passes and has 16 receptions in two seasons with Cleveland. Royal had three seasons with 20-plus catches but has never topped 400 yards for his career. Royal is more known for his blocking. He'll continue to get playing time because of his ability to help in the running game. His receiving skills have improved through the years, but still aren't great. Royal doesn't have much speed, but is a big target with solid hands.

Even in his best season, Royal was of little help to fantasy. He might get around 15 catches and a score or two, making him a marginal No. 3 tight end for fantasy teams. |
