| Name | Pos | Team | Age | Yrs Exp. |
Pos. Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brock Bowers | TE | LVR | 22 | R | Unranked |
| With Antonio Pierce and Luke Getsy in town, expect a ton of 12 sets from the Raiders. That's promising for sensational first-round rookie TE Brock Bowers, who is a superlative route runner, playmaker, and downfield weapon with elite speed. Bowers is also versatile enough to be a rushing threat but fantasy managers should be cautioned on the history of slow starts ... Read More | |||||
| Evan Engram | TE | DEN | 30 | 7 | Unranked |
| Don't count on another position-leading 143 targets from Evan Engram in 2024, but he remains an excellent Tier-2 fantasy option. Engram had four games with double-digit receptions last season and secured four-plus grabs in all 17 games. That remarkable consistency isn't sustainable- especially with the Jaguars breaking in Brain Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis. However,... Read More | |||||
| Jake Ferguson | TE | DAL | 26 | 2 | Unranked |
| Undrafted in a large percentage of fantasy drafts, Jake Ferguson became a waiver-wire hero who posted top-10 fantasy numbers for the league's top-scoring offense. Ferguson emerged as a viable weekly option who ran the third-most routes and led all NFL tight ends with 25 red-zone targets. Dallas didn't add much target completion in the draft or free agency, so Ferg... Read More | |||||
| Dallas Goedert | TE | PHI | 31 | 6 | Unranked |
| Since peaking with a TE10 finish in 2021, Dallas Goedert's production has steadily declined. Last year, he was outside the top 12 in targets (83), yards (592), and routes run (13th). Additionally, Goedert isn't much of a red-zone threat with the Eagles becoming one of the most run-heavy teams near the stripe. Saquon Barkley and a pair of mid-round draft picks also...

| George Kittle | TE | SF | 31 | 7 | Unranked |
| The overall TE6 finish looks good on the resume, but George Kittle's 2023 campaign was erratic. He led all tight ends with 1,020 receiving yards and was tied for second with six touchdowns. Kittle had nine top-10 weeks but also had seven weeks with single-digit performances. Still, the volume was solid. Kittle led all tight ends in yards per route run and was top-... Read More | |||||
| David Njoku | TE | CLE | 28 | 7 | Unranked |
| Njoku followed up his first top-10 season in 2022 with a breakout 2023 showing, resulting in career-best numbers across the board and his first top-5 fantasy finish. The Browns used five different quarterbacks and dealt with other injuries. That allowed Njoku to rack up the third-most targets and a position-leading 599 yards after catch. But with an upgraded recei... Read More | |||||
| Kyle Pitts | TE | ATL | 24 | 3 | Unranked |
| One of the most heralded tight end prospects in recent NFL history, Kyle Pitts's career got off to a fast start before an injury and Arthur Smith's incompetence torpedoed his value. With Kirk Cousins now in Atlanta, fantasy managers are ready to be hurt again. Pitts is an elite physical specimen who led all tight ends in air yards and was top-10 in routes run, ADO...
