Fab's Post Free Agency 2026 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings

The position did not see a lot of action in the trade and free-agent markets.

Unlike some of the other offensive skill positions, tight end did not see a lot of action in the trade and free-agent markets. Two of the biggest free agents, Travis Kelce and Dallas Goedert, both stayed with their respective teams. The same holds true for Cade Otton, who re-signed with Tampa Bay rather than test the offseason market further. 

The biggest name that changed teams was Isaiah Likely, who will be reunited with coach John Harbaugh in New York. We also saw Chig Okonkwo and Noah Fant move on from their 2025 teams, while David Njoku remains unsigned at this point. 

With that being said, here are my updated 2026 fantasy football tight end rankings. I’ll be updating these often throughout the offseason, so keep checking back!
