2025 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings And Auction Draft Values

Tight end is one of the easiest positions to fill in fantasy football drafts, as you can still find plenty of good ones (and some solid sleepers) in the middle to late rounds of traditional leagues. In fact, only five tight ends are being picked in the top 60 overall based on the average draft position (ADP) on FantasyPros.
Here's my top 32 fantasy tight ends for this season, including bye week information and the maximum amount of dollars you should spend on them in an auction ($200 salary cap).
