Sort by attribute…
1Trey McBrideTEARI29.4The best volume TE in football projects for 143.8 targets and a 25.6% target share, but a tier-5 pass offense and QB uncertainty cap the upside.
2Brock BowersTELV22.8Elite volume at TE with 112 projected targets, but a tier-8 pass offense and bottom-tier QB room make every single one of those targets harder to earn.
3Tucker KraftTEGB64.3Kraft's 96th-percentile EPA and elite YAC numbers are real, but a partial 2025 season and a wide 77-to-224 point range make the TE2 price tag a genuine debate.
4Tyler WarrenTEIND51.9A 23-year-old TE1 projecting 116 targets and a 21.7% target share in a thin passing tree that has nowhere else to go.
5Harold Fannin Jr.TECLE76.1A 21-year-old TE with 110 projected targets and a 96th-percentile target share is worth serious attention even in a tier-6 pass offense.
6Kyle PittsTEATL75.9Elite target volume at 20.3% projected share, but a tier-6 pass offense and near-zero TD projection make Pitts a floor-heavy, ceiling-capped TE8.
7Dallas GoedertTEPHI110.7Goedert projects for a target-share bump to 19.2% in a reshuffled Philadelphia passing tree, but a 74.7 floor and tier-4 pass offense demand realistic ceiling expectations.
8George KittleTESF82.9A tier-1 pass offense and 98th-percentile efficiency make Kittle's ceiling real, but a shrinking target share and 11-game 2025 season complicate the floor math.
9Mark AndrewsTEBAL124.7Andrews projects for 84 targets and a 17.3% share in 2026, but a 17.6% spike rate and thin separation metrics make him a volatile TE2 bet at his ADP.
10Sam LaPortaTEDET67.7After a partial 2025 season, LaPorta returns to a tier-1 passing offense with 70 projected targets and elite efficiency marks, but a shrinking 13.1% target share caps his ceiling at 195.
11Colston LovelandTECHI40.8A 21-year-old rookie TE1 who finished 2025 at 136 fantasy points on 14.6% target share, but ADP treats him like a top-40 pick in a tier-6 QB situation.
12Dalton SchultzTEHOU156.0Elite route efficiency at 94th percentile EPA, but a tier-5 passing offense and 16.5% projected target share keep the ceiling honest.
13Travis KelceTEKC102.4At 36 with shrinking target share and a 69-point floor, Kelce's age curve is now the story, not the dynasty.
14Jake FergusonTEDAL133.7Ferguson held a 15.4% target share in 2025 but faces a crowded passing tree and a TD projection that is nearly zero.
15Hunter HenryTENE149.6Drake Maye's ascending offense now carries A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, which squeezes Henry's 14.5% projected target share and puts his 148.8-point 2025 finish at real risk of regression.
16Cade OttonTETB172.3Otton projects 82 targets at a 15.3% share in a pass offense that just upgraded from tier-5 to tier-3, but a 13.3% spike rate and thin TD projection cap his ceiling.
17Dalton KincaidTEBUF101.8A tier-1 passing offense and 97th-percentile EPA back a TE1 whose 12.5% target share sits behind a crowded, expensive receiver room.
18Isaiah LikelyTENYG111.4Likely lands in New York as the TE1 on a bottom-tier passing offense, with 71 projected targets but almost no spike history to justify the current ADP.
19David NjokuTELAC168.2A new home lifts Njoku's projected target share from 10.9% to 14.6%, but an 8th-percentile EPA mark and a 40-point floor make the upside hard to trust.
20Juwan JohnsonTENO143.4Elite efficiency grades meet a tier-7 pass offense and a shrinking 12.9% projected target share, making Johnson a TD-dependent dart throw at TE.
21Brenton StrangeTEJAX158.0Strange projects 68 targets as Jacksonville's TE1 in a tier-3 passing offense, but a 7.7% spike rate and narrow floor make him a volatile streamer, not a cornerstone.
22Pat FreiermuthTEPIT168.0A 10% target share and a tier-6 pass offense kept Freiermuth at a modest 93.1 points in 2025, and the 2026 setup isn't much cleaner.
23Mason TaylorTENYJA 21-year-old TE1 with 73 projected targets in a tier-8 passing offense, Taylor's ceiling is capped hard but his floor is already rising off a partial 2025 season.
24Colby ParkinsonTELAR173.3Parkinson's 12.2% projected target share is the ceiling in a crowded TE room with a falling pass offense tier and a 13.3% spike rate that rarely delivers.
25Evan EngramTEDENElite separation meets a tier-4 pass offense and near-zero spike rate, making Engram a volume TE2 with a razor-thin ceiling at age 31.
26AJ BarnerTESEA163.1Barner's 90th-percentile EPA and elite separation grade are real, but a tier-4 pass offense and a TD projection near zero make the ceiling math brutal.
27Greg DulcichTEMIA168.3
28Chig OkonkwoTEWAS160.1Titans TE at 12% target share. Tier-8 pass-O is brutal. Within-team rank #1 — alpha but Tennessee offense limits to streaming TE3 territory.
29Cole KmetTECHI
30T.J. HockensonTEMIN164.5
31Michael MayerTELV
32Jake TongesTESFTonges profiles as a legitimate TE2 in a tier-1 passing offense, but a 17.9 floor and 0.064 projected touchdown rate keep the ceiling math honest.
33Darren WallerTECAR170.0
34Oronde Gadsden IITELAC165.7Chargers rookie TE at 16% target share. Tier-4 pass-O with Herbert. Within-team rank #1, elite 9.1 YPR; sleeper streaming option if role solidifies early.
35Gunnar HelmTETEN170.4
36Mike GesickiTECIN
37Theo JohnsonTENYGA projected target-share drop from 14.8% to 9.9% plus a tier-7 pass offense makes Johnson a ceiling-only dart at his ADP.
38Kenyon SadiqTENYJ168.4Jets rookie TE pick 1.16. Tier-8 (projected) offense; immediate role projection but a brutal QB/pass tier limits realistic weekly relevance to dynasty-only.
