Dynasty Points

Goedert is a favorite cheap point-scorer who projects as a mid-range TE1. He is highly productive when A.J. Brown is off the field, and the Eagles' lack of pass-catching depth ensures he remains a reliable option.

Andrews is a favorite cheap point-scorer who remains Lamar Jackson's primary red-zone target. Despite injury concerns, he has 10-touchdown upside if healthy and is a better value than Travis Kelsey at this stage.

Mayer is a strong dynasty target because he is a talented all-around prospect who could see his value skyrocket if he leaves the Raiders. He is a better candidate for a second-contract breakout than Isaiah Likely, and he could even see fantasy-relevant spikes this year if the Raiders utilize 12 personnel to compensate for their thin wide receiver depth.

Ferguson fits the profile of a year-two breakout candidate, as tight ends often transition to full-time roles in their second season. He is a target in redraft and dynasty, especially given his high ADOT (18.6) and potential to step into a larger role in the Rams' offense if a receiver misses time.

Stowers is not expected to be active in Week 1 or have a significant role as long as Dallas Goedert is healthy. He should be viewed as a long-term lottery ticket rather than a major part of 2024 fantasy plans.

Dynasty Points notes that Gadsden is currently rotating with David Njoku and Charlie Kohler in Chargers camp, with reports suggesting Kohler is the clear TE1, creating a murky outlook for Gadsden's immediate usage.

Dynasty Points suggests Kittle is a solid veteran option for contenders, but warns against paying a premium for him if the manager already has a reliable starter like Trey McBride.

Dynasty Points ranks Kincaid in a higher tier than his peers, citing his potential for both immediate fantasy production and long-term dynasty value. They expect his route share to increase significantly from last year's workload-managed levels.

Dynasty Points is skeptical of Pitts' elite upside, noting his production spike last year was largely tied to Drake London's absence. They project a mid-to-low-end TE1 finish rather than elite production.

Dynasty Points views Sadiq as a high-upside prospect with elite athleticism, though he remains raw as a route runner and blocker. He is considered a top dynasty bet for long-term production.

Dynasty Points advises patience with Sadiq, noting that rookie tight ends often have a long learning curve and that missing summer activities due to injury will likely lead to a slow start in the Jets' offense.

Dynasty Points suggests that all Lions pass catchers, including tight ends, should be concerned about Jahmyr Gibbs' increased involvement in the passing offense this year.

Despite injury concerns, Dynasty Points identifies LaPorta as the tight end in his tier with the highest touchdown upside, projecting a potential 10-13 touchdown season based on the Lions' offensive scheme.

Dynasty Points expresses concern regarding LaPorta's significant injury history, specifically citing back, neck, and knee issues, which complicates his dynasty outlook.

Dynasty Points expresses a strong preference for Kraft over other tight ends in his tier, noting he is a player they are currently enamored with.

Fannin is viewed as a high-upside TE7 with the potential to be the primary target on his team. While he faces structural concerns regarding his blocking and potential snap competition if the Browns bring in additional personnel, his raw talent and ability to command a high route share make him a significant dynasty riser.

Kraft is a polarizing asset who has led all tight ends in yards after the catch (YAC) for three consecutive seasons. While his YAC ability is an elite 'trump card,' his fantasy production is heavily dependent on volume and efficiency that may be difficult to replicate coming off an ACL tear. Analysts are split on whether his breakout was sustainable or a product of teammate injuries.

LaPorta is ranked as the TE5, but faces concerns regarding injury history (back, neck, knee) and target competition from Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. While his path to moving up tiers is limited by the Lions' crowded receiving corps, he remains a high-upside play with the potential to score 10-13 touchdowns in that offense.

Warren is considered a top-tier tight end prospect whose rookie production was masked by the Colts' late-season offensive collapse. He earned a near 20% target share and ran routes on 80% of snaps. While he may lack the explosive '30-point game' upside of elite peers, his role as a primary target in a creative offense makes him a strong dynasty asset, especially with Michael Pittman Jr. no longer on the team.

Loveland is widely viewed as a rising star with a strong chance to finish the year as the TE2. While he has a smaller sample size of elite production compared to McBride, his ability to win one-on-one against defensive backs and his role as a downfield engine make him a high-upside asset. Some analysts believe he could surpass McBride in production this season.

McBride is the consensus TE2, though some analysts debate his long-term ceiling compared to Colston Loveland. While McBride offers a high floor and a track record of elite production, concerns exist regarding the sustainability of the Cardinals' high drop-back volume from the second half of last season and potential target competition from Marvin Harrison Jr.

Bowers has reclaimed the consensus TE1 spot in dynasty formats. Despite a difficult 2025 season hampered by a week-one PCL injury and ineffective play while wearing a knee brace, he averaged 16 fantasy points per game when healthy. Analysts now view him as a superior talent in a vacuum compared to Trey McBride, especially as the Raiders' offense trends upward and lacks significant wide receiver competition.

Marvin Harrison is categorized as a massive range-of-outcomes player. While he is currently held down by his situation, there is potential for improvement in 2027 with possible quarterback changes.

Jamar Chase expresses skepticism toward Matthew Golden, noting that he does not have conviction in his talent and believes there are three other players on the offense who are better per-route target earners.

Nico Collins is considered a top-five real-life wide receiver who consistently obliterates yards-per-route-run metrics, though he struggles to reach fantasy WR1 status due to the Texans' conservative, run-heavy offense.

Higgins is a high-upside dynasty target who showed strong per-route production in college. Despite being slow-played by the Texans as a rookie, he is expected to force his way into two-receiver sets in 2026. He is viewed as a player with a delayed breakout potential similar to Nico Collins.

Jameson Williams is identified as a high-volatility player with the most to gain or lose this season. If he proves he can handle higher target volume, he could launch into an upper tier of boom-bust receivers; conversely, a repeat of his early-season struggles could see him fall out of the top tier entirely.

Jamar Chase is very low on Rashee Rice, noting that he has not touched him at all this offseason and does not plan to acquire more shares, despite his high ranking in the current tier.

Burden is viewed as a less compelling bet than Ladd McConkey due to a lack of proven NFL production and limited route running until the end of his rookie season. There are more 'nits to pick' with Burden's profile compared to McConkey's established full-time role.

Despite his talent, there are concerns about his sophomore season, which saw a massive crash in targets per run (17.5%), catch rate, and yards per reception. There is skepticism that the Chargers' offense will be hyper-focused on him, as it may be extremely spread out among various receivers, tight ends, and running backs.

Garrett Wilson remains a highly regarded talent, but analysts are waiting for him to have a season with a confident quarterback. His dynasty value is currently being challenged by the rapid rise of players like Zay Flowers.

Zay Flowers is rising in dynasty value, with analysts preferring him over Garrett Wilson and Nico Collins. There is optimism he could see over 160 targets this year with more design and red-zone usage, potentially positioning him as a top-tier asset by next year.

Chris Olave was moved down in dynasty rankings because he faces competition for targets from a rookie Jamar Chase likes. There is concern that Olave could lose market sentiment if he is out-targeted by younger teammates, making his current dynasty ranking feel fragile.

Jacob Sanderson is very high on Luther Burden, ranking him as his WR13, significantly higher than the industry consensus. He views Burden as a player with the upside to reach the 'two plus firsts' value range in dynasty.

CeeDee Lamb is a top-tier prime-aged dynasty asset. There is significant debate regarding whether he and George Pickens will both remain in Dallas, with analysts generally projecting a high probability that only one of them will be on the team by 2027.

George Pickens is viewed as a 'wide receiver one by default' who faces uncertainty regarding his future in Dallas. While he showed flashes of elite production when CeeDee Lamb was out, there is skepticism about his consistency and the likelihood of him remaining in Dallas long-term given contract dynamics.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is a fantastic player, but his ADP is considerably higher than other prime-aged receivers like Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb. Analysts suggest he is a 'must explore' trade candidate because managers could potentially pivot to a younger asset like Drake London and maintain comparable production.

Drake London is viewed as a high-end dynasty asset, with analysts preferring him slightly over older prime-aged receivers like Justin Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and CeeDee Lamb due to his youth. London averaged over 20 points per game in Michael Penix's starts and was the WR3 by fantasy points per game before his PCL injury last season.

Puka Nakua is viewed as a special talent who averaged three more fantasy points per game than any other wide receiver in his healthy games last year. However, there is long-term concern regarding his production once Matthew Stafford retires, and some market sentiment suggests he may have already hit his peak value.

Jamar Chase is a tier-one dynasty asset and the WR1 for Ryan Heath, who views him as a safer year-to-year bet than Jackson Smith & Jigba. Chase benefits from short-term stability with Joe Flacco as the Bengals' QB2, having previously produced strong fantasy performances with him.
