Summary

Tight End Rank: #84All Players: #483
Pope arguably had his best season to date but that isn't saying much. He set career highs in receptions (24) and yards (247), getting a chance for some more action after an early season injury to Chiefs starter Tony Moeaki. Pope had catches in all but three games but his season high in receptions was just three and he topped 50 yards in a game just once. Pope has 20 or more receptions three of six seasons but failed to get more than 250 yards in any season. He was once projected to be a starter in this league but has played his way into a backup role at tight end, a role his challenge for in Pittsburgh this season. Pope is a huge target at 6-8, but also runs pretty well and has decent hands. He does a pretty good job of using his huge size to shield defenders and make plays. Pope is an adequate blocker at best and lacks consistency.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Pope isn't going to suddenly have a breakout season. He'll be lucky to get 20 receptions once again, making him a guy to avoid for fantasy teams.
