Madden 20 Ultimate Team: Best bargain tight ends (TE) in MUT - Jared Cook, Dallas Clark & more


The tight end position is going through a rough patch this
year in the NFL. Following the retirement of the great Rob Gronkowski has left
a big hole at the position, and a lot of offenses don’t feature the position
much.

That is not true in Madden, where the TE spot continues to be a match-up problem for defenses that players can exploit.

However, the best and biggest TE cards are incredibly expensive, which often means players end up relying on power-ups or lucky pulls in packs to fill the position.

If you want a game-changer at tight end but aren’t keen to
drop 100,000+ coins on one we have the answer for you.

These are the best bargain tight ends in MUT that you can
buy for under 30,000 coins.

Dallas Clark was a key part of the Indianapolis Colts’ success in the 2000s, consistently being an outlet for Peyton Manning and tormenting defenses that would try to slow down the Colts.

Clark has terrific hands, with 86 catching and 86 catch in
traffic as well as 85 medium route running. His 77 speed isn’t great, but you
can work him open with some smart plays and trust him to snag the ball.
