The recent fantasy emergences of Sam LaPorta and Brock Bowers has the value of rookie tight ends on the rise in both redraft and dynasty leagues. This year’s draft class has some talented options, maybe none more than Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland, who were both first-round selections.

Warren will elicit comparisons to Dallas Clark in Indianapolis, while Colston will be Chicago’s new lead tight end, possibly as soon as this upcoming season. He'll also draw comparisons to LaPorta while playing in the offense of new Bears head coach Ben Johnson.

Mason Taylor (Jets), Elijah Arroyo (Seahawks), Harold Fannin Jr. (Browns) and Terrance Ferguson (Rams) also have plenty of fantasy appeal, most likely in dynasty formats.

With that said, here’s my initial look at my top 10 fantasy tight ends for dynasty drafts.
