Brant Kuithe

Utah was already tight-end heavy with its offensive philosophy and that could be even more apparent this year after the Utes lost some talent at receiver. Kuithe logged career-highs across the board in every major receiving category and his receptions spiked to 50 after a previous career-high of 34. Fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid is also a factor after catching eight touchdowns last season, but Kuithe’s role is secure nonetheless. Utah’s offense can support multiple tight ends and Kuithe is the first one to target while Kincaid is a worthy pick later in drafts.

This time last year, Kuithe was considered a Top 3 player at his position. He’s not being drafted as such this year, but it’d be a mistake to overlook him. Kuithe’s lack of touchdown production stands out as he had zero after scoring nine in 2019, but that metric isn’t always sticky year-over-year, and if anything, Kuithe’s bad touchdown luck with a 25 percent target share makes him a candidate for positive regression. He gets the added bonus of better quarterback play this season with Baylor transfer Charlie Brewer, too. Don’t let 2020’s bad luck steer you off Kuithe.
