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.
