Tight end has been the least affected of the four major fantasy football positions in the 2025 NFL offseason. The biggest moves came via the NFL Draft, where Tyler Warren was selected by the Indianapolis Colts and Colston Loveland landed in Chicago with new head coach Ben Johnson.

In terms of the veteran tight ends, Evan Engram was released by the Jaguars and then signed with the Broncos. We also saw Zach Ertz re-sign with the Commanders, and Mike Gesicki re-up with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Again, it wasn’t an exciting offseason for the position.

Looking ahead to 2025, many of the names in my top 10 are familiar. Brock Bowers is now the top tight end after his amazing rookie season. Trey McBride comes in at No. 2. The previous top tight end, Sam LaPorta, comes in at No. 4, one spot behind George Kittle. Travis Kelce, who finished fifth in points at tight end last season, comes in at No. 6.

One of last season’s biggest breakout players, Jonnu Smith, comes in at No. 10. Engram, now in head coach Sean Payton’s offense, rounds out the top 10. Speaking of Engram, his release in Jacksonville opens a chance for Brenton Strange to take over as the starter in 2025. As a result, he’ll be a popular fantasy sleeper for next season.

Without further ado, here’s a look at my updated 2025 fantasy tight end rank list.
