NFL Tight End Rankings 2025

117 TEs ranked, 2025 season, the full season. Updated every Tuesday.

Every tight end in the league with real snaps in the 2025 season, ranked by the StickToTheModel model: production per play against the league, not a poll. Tucker Kraft (GB), George Kittle (SF), Trey McBride (ARI) sit at the top after the full season. Tier 1 is the handful who change a game plan; a tier is a gap in the numbers, not a round number. Click any name for his stats, contract and this week's lines.

How the tight end rankings work

The rank is the model's, built from play-by-play: what a tight end produced on his snaps against what the league produces on the same snaps, weighted by volume so a big season on few games does not jump a full one. Model is the 0-100 score on his profile page. Players with fewer than a quarter of the leader's games are left off until they catch up. Ranks refresh every Tuesday after the week's stats land.
