Are We Moving Away From Two-TE Sets?

On ESPN, it even has our main formation for our depth chart as having a fullback.   I've seen other sites similar to that, also.

Even CincyJungle talks like we won't have two tight ends on the field at the same time:


Sounds to me like they're saying Kroft won't have much value, which I'm not expecting him to light-it-up, but I think he could have a solid year.

Not to mention that a two-tight end set is the best way to attack the 3-4 defenses of the division.

(The article mentions how Rutgers switched to a run-heavy offense last season, which most likely explains Kroft's dropping as far as he did.)

Am I seeing this wrong?

I saw an interview with Marvin Lewis where he said that Hill did most of his damage running behind Hewitt. If that is true, I'd prefer a FB in the game. Also, Gresham has been a good run blocker and Eifert not so much.
