The NFL offseason figures to be wild and exciting based on the expectation of big trades and free-agent signings. All of this will, of course, have a major impact on fantasy drafts. I’ve already submitted the first edition of my Way-Too-Early Fantasy Tight End Rankings for 2025, but I wanted to submit version 2.0 before free agency and the trades start flying.

At the tight end position, we had a number of players who weren’t expected to become fantasy assets but busted out nonetheless. Brock Bowers led the position as a rookie in what was a record-breaking season, and Jonnu Smith became a top-five player at the position. Zach Ertz and Tucker Kraft produced top-10 finishes, and we saw Cade Otton go from a fantasy afterthought into a top-15 fantasy tight end with the Buccaneers.

On the flip side, fans were disappointed by several tight ends, none more than Evan Engram and Dalton Kincaid. Both were drafted as top-10 players at the position based on ADP data, and neither finished in the top 25. Kyle Pitts, who had a TE7 ADP, finished TE15. Others, like Jake Ferguson, Dallas Goedert and T.J. Hockenson, didn’t meet expectations.

The upcoming offseason promises plenty of roster changes, which could include Ertz and Mike Gesicki (among others) potentially switching teams as free agents. Also, players who are coming out of college like Penn State’s Tyler Warren could break into the top 20. But for now, here’s my second way-too-early look at the fantasy tight end position for next season.
