It became quite clear as his rookie season wore on in 2010 that Rams QB Sam Bradford really liked to throw to his tight ends.
But while second-round TE Lance Kendricks appears to be, by all accounts, a very inviting target in the making, you have to wonder just how much of a fantasy factor he will be with so many other tight ends already on the Rams' roster.
Start with Daniel Fells, who had a career-high 41 catches for 391 yards last year and finished third on the team in reception yards and caught at least three passes in 10 of the Rams' 16 games last season.
Fells is also a potential free agent, and it could be that the Rams have decided to let him move on.
But then there's also sturdy blocking specialist Billy Bajema and a pair of really intriguing young projects at the position in Michael Hoomanawanui and Fendi Onobun who also come into play.
Hoomanawanui in particular looks like a promising talent, but he did have real problems with ankle injuries that forced him to miss eight games.
It's likely new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels will go with a lot of two-TE sets, with Kendricks probably figuring in the mix. But it's hard to imagine him getting enough touches to be a real fantasy factor — unless he proves to be a major stud in the redzone, and Hoomanawanui just can't stay healthy.
