Sort by attribute…
1Trey McBrideTEARI30.0The 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 BowersTELV21.1Elite 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 KraftTEGB61.6Kraft'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.
4Harold Fannin Jr.TECLE73.4A 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.
5Tyler WarrenTEIND48.2A 23-year-old TE1 projecting 116 targets and a 21.7% target share in a thin passing tree that has nowhere else to go.
6George KittleTESF79.9A 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.
7Dallas GoedertTEPHI110.2Goedert 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.
8Sam LaPortaTEDET66.1After 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.
9Kyle PittsTEATL74.9Elite 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.
10Mark AndrewsTEBAL124.4Andrews 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.
11Colston LovelandTECHI39.5A 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.
12Travis KelceTEKC102.6At 36 with shrinking target share and a 69-point floor, Kelce's age curve is now the story, not the dynasty.
13Dalton SchultzTEHOU148.6Elite route efficiency at 94th percentile EPA, but a tier-5 passing offense and 16.5% projected target share keep the ceiling honest.
14Jake FergusonTEDAL132.9Ferguson held a 15.4% target share in 2025 but faces a crowded passing tree and a TD projection that is nearly zero.
15Dalton KincaidTEBUF99.2A tier-1 passing offense and 97th-percentile EPA back a TE1 whose 12.5% target share sits behind a crowded, expensive receiver room.
16Oronde Gadsden IITELAC158.1Chargers 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.
17Hunter HenryTENE145.5Drake 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.
18Evan EngramTEDEN
19Brenton StrangeTEJAX153.5Strange 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.
20Cade OttonTETB158.3Otton 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.
21Juwan JohnsonTENO133.4Elite 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.
22Pat FreiermuthTEPIT160.6A 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.
23David NjokuTELAC159.4A 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.
24Isaiah LikelyTENYG111.7Likely 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.
25Colby ParkinsonTELAR160.0Parkinson'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.
26Chig OkonkwoTEWAS153.8Washington's new tight end. Last season he ran up 79 targets, 56 catches, 560 yards and 2 scores over 17 games, but he has to win the role again in a new offense.
27Cole KmetTECHI
28AJ BarnerTESEA157.6Barner'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.
29Michael MayerTELV
30T.J. HockensonTEMIN156.9
31Darren WallerTECAR159.6
32Greg DulcichTEMIA162.4
33Mason 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.
34Kenyon SadiqTENYJ156.9Jets 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.
35Mike GesickiTECIN
36Jonnu SmithTEGB
37Theo JohnsonTENYGGiants TE at 14% target share. Tier-6 pass-O with Dart rookie context. Within-team rank #1, projected alpha TE but offensive cap is severe.
