In 2008, it was Visanthe Shiancoe with nearly 600 yards and seven TDs, John Carlson with over 600 yards and five TDs, and Anthony Fasano with about 450 yards and seven TDs.

In 2007, it was Donald Lee with 575 yards and six TDs, Heath Miller with over 550 yards and seven TDs, and Owen Daniels with over 750 yards and three TDs.

Year after year, new tight ends emerge from the late rounds of fantasy drafts and from the waiver wire to become top-10 options and every-week starters in fantasy leagues. If you're like me, you eschew early-round and mid-round TEs for a bargain-bin sleeper on draft day, because there will be a few starters that rise from the depths of obscurity. There always are. Today, I'll throw five TEs your way that didn't make our preseason Top 10, but could become fantasy starters this season.

All joking about character risks aside, the Cincinnati Bengals needed to have a good draft. They've had some misses -- through bad scouting and bad luck -- with top picks in recent years, and they had to hit on their top pick this year.

We've already given a single post to each of the seemingly most relevant fantasy football impact players from the NFL Draft -- we say seemingly because bust-hood is always a possibility in this business -- but those are by no means the only players who might matter in this coming season. With that in mind, here are the rest of the guys who's impact will be felt:

LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles (Round 2): If you end up with Brian Westbrook, you absolutely must have McCoy. The shifty stud from Pittsburgh is exactly the type of back Westbrook is, which means he can thrive in this offense.
