Dynasty TE Premium Superflex TE Rankings 2025 (Tight End)

Updated on Fri, 5 Dec 2025

Off-the-cuff opinions from random guys on the internet are not the best foundation for creating TE Premium Superflex Rankings. You wouldn’t buy a house with a cracked or leaking basement, would you? No! The foundation for anything is critical.

At Draft Sharks, our Dynasty Rankings are based on data—a lot of it. We start with a player's baseline, a weighted average of this year’s projection, and their last two seasons. Then we use 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year fantasy forecasted output. This isn't guesswork. Our process has been built using machine learning for all NFL data since 1999. We determine this output using scientifically-sound performance aging curves and retirement rates. And these numbers are specific to both positional groups and archetypes of players. These are the smartest fantasy football projections on the market. Period.

3D values+ then apply a weighted average of those 1-,3-,5- and 10-year projections and a cross-positional algorithm based on your exact league setup and scoring. The results are an unparalleled single (true) value you can use universally on the site. That means you can use these values for ranking in the preseason, regular season, and trade valuations.

Ready to go for the gold? In the Draft War Room you can adjust the weighting even heavier toward year-one projection in "Win Now" mode.

Tier 1
1	Brock Bowers B Bowers LVR TE1	N/A	8	22.9	250	958	1,559	2,778	Bowers lived up to the hype, setting the all-time rookie receptions record with 110, along with the rookie TE receiving yards record with 1,194. Doing all of that on one of the worst offenses in the NFL was tremendously impressive. Bowers projects as a high-end TE1 for the foreseeable future.	63
5yr. Proj 1559 10yr. Proj 2778 ADP N/A Bye 8 Age 22.9 DS Analysis Bowers lived up to the hype, setting the all-time rookie receptions record with 110, along with the rookie TE receiving yards record with 1,194. Doing all of that on one of the worst offenses in the NFL was tremendously impressive. Bowers projects as a high-end TE1 for the foreseeable future.
2	Trey McBride T McBride ARI TE2	N/A	8	26	317	916	1,491	2,770	McBride was the PPR TE3 for the 2024 season, and this was despite not scoring a receiving TD until Week 17. His 147 targets and 111 catches were enough to carry him in PPR leagues, and there should be some positive TD regression coming. McBride’s talent and Kyler Murray’s willingness to lock onto him should keep McBride as a top dynasty TE going forward.	61
5yr. Proj 1491 10yr. Proj 2770 ADP N/A Bye 8 Age 26 DS Analysis McBride was the PPR TE3 for the 2024 season, and this was despite not scoring a receiving TD until Week 17. His 147 targets and 111 catches were enough to carry him in PPR leagues, and there should be some positive TD regression coming.

Tier 2
3	Tyler Warren T Warren IND TE3	N/A	11	23.5	259	786	1,322	2,547	In 2024, Warren was the Nittany Lions’ leading receiver with 104 catches for 1,233 yards and 8 TDs. He has a massive 6’6, 261-pound frame with the typical Penn State top-tier athleticism. Add in monster in-line blocking, and Warren projects as an impact rookie for the Colts. QB play might cap his short-term ceiling, though. Indy will roll into the season with Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.	52
5yr. Proj 1322 10yr. Proj 2547 ADP N/A Bye 11 Age 23.5 DS Analysis In 2024, Warren was the Nittany Lions’ leading receiver with 104 catches for 1,233 yards and 8 TDs. He has a massive 6’6, 261-pound frame with the typical Penn State top-tier athleticism. Add in monster in-line blocking, and Warren projects as an impact rookie for the Colts.

Tier 3
4	Colston Loveland C Loveland CHI TE4	N/A	5	21.6	152	658	1,131	2,230	Loveland had an injury-filled 2024, dealing with a shoulder and another undisclosed injury. With Michigan’s offensive issues, Loveland was still their leading receiver with 56 catches for 582 yards and five TDs. His awareness and quick feet make him dangerous against zone coverage, reminiscent of Travis Kelce. We like Loveland’s landing spot alongside QB Caleb Williams and HC Ben Johnson. Note that the Bears can move on from Cole Kmet’s contract in the ‘26 offseason.	40

Tier 4
5	Sam LaPorta S LaPorta DET TE5	N/A	8	24.8	114	589	964	1,803	After a rocky start to the 2024 season, LaPorta ended the season with five straight PPR TE1 performances. The Lions’ high-octane offense means that LaPorta will always be a threat to score. He is locked in as a top dynasty TE moving forward.	30
5yr. Proj 964 10yr. Proj 1803 ADP N/A Bye 8 Age 24.8 DS Analysis After a rocky start to the 2024 season, LaPorta ended the season with five straight PPR TE1 performances. The Lions’ high-octane offense means that LaPorta will always be a threat to score. He is locked in as a top dynasty TE moving forward.
6	Oronde Gadsden II O Gadsden II LAC TE6	N/A	12	22.4	160	512	941	1,830	The son of the former Miami Dolphins’ WR, Gadsden II is the ultimate tweener prospect. He is too big to be a WR, but not quite built enough to be an in-line TE. Gadsden landed in a promising spot without a long-term TE -- and alongside Justin Herbert.	29
5yr. Proj 941 10yr. Proj 1830 ADP N/A Bye 12 Age 22.4 DS Analysis The son of the former Miami Dolphins’ WR, Gadsden II is the ultimate tweener prospect.

7	Tucker Kraft T Kraft GB TE7	N/A	5	25.1	103	559	910	1,714	With Luke Musgrave battling injuries most of the season, Kraft established himself as a true receiving threat for the Packers. He ended as the TE13 in PPR points per game and had seven TE1 performances. His ceiling may be capped, but Kraft has emerged as a consistent TE presence.	27
5yr. Proj 910 10yr. Proj 1714 ADP N/A Bye 5 Age 25.1 DS Analysis With Luke Musgrave battling injuries most of the season, Kraft established himself as a true receiving threat for the Packers.

8	Jake Ferguson J Ferguson DAL TE8	N/A	10	26.8	226	585	877	1,443	Ferguson dealt with both a knee injury and a concussion during the 2024 season. With QB Dak Prescott knocked out with an injury, it was an inconsistent year for Ferguson, who ended as the PPR TE19 in 2024. He remains a high-floor, low-ceiling option.	27
5yr. Proj 877 10yr. Proj 1443 ADP N/A Bye 10 Age 26.8 DS Analysis Ferguson dealt with both a knee injury and a concussion during the 2024 season.

Tier 5
9	Harold Fannin Jr. H Fannin Jr. CLE TE10	N/A	9	21.3	190	460	845	1,744	With David Njoku only having one year left on his deal, Fannin will likely be developed to become the starting TE for the Browns in a year. He broke every college football TE record and has a natural feel for catching the ball. As a long-term investment, he could pay dividends.	25
5yr. Proj 845 10yr. Proj 1744 ADP N/A Bye 9 Age 21.3 DS Analysis With David Njoku only having one year left on his deal, Fannin will likely be developed to become the starting TE for the Browns in a year.

10	George Kittle G Kittle SF TE9	N/A	14	32.1	180	607	874	1,197	Kittle was the top PPR TE in 2024 in points per game. At 32 (in October), he should have at least a couple of years left at TE1-level production.	25
5yr. Proj 874 10yr. Proj 1197 ADP N/A Bye 14 Age 32.1 DS Analysis Kittle was the top PPR TE in 2024 in points per game. At 32 (in October), he should have at least a couple of years left at TE1-level production.
11	Dalton Kincaid D Kincaid BUF TE11	N/A	7	26.1	148	533	841	1,463	Kincaid had a disappointing 2024, ending up as the TE21 in points per game. Dealing with injuries and an uneven offensive passing game didn’t help his numbers. On the bright side, he drew 75 targets in only 13 games, so Josh Allen has not given up on the young TE. Buffalo remains without a clear WR1, helping raise Kincaid’s bounce-back appeal in 2025.	25
5yr. Proj 841 10yr. Proj 1463 ADP N/A Bye 7 Age 26.1 DS Analysis Kincaid had a disappointing 2024, ending up as the TE21 in points per game.

12	Mason Taylor M Taylor NYJ TE12	N/A	9	21.5	157	448	812	1,696	Taylor should slide into the starting role for the Jets immediately, potentially as the number two option after Garrett Wilson. His soft hands and red zone ability give Taylor a solid floor alongside QB Justin Fields.	23
5yr. Proj 812 10yr. Proj 1696 ADP N/A Bye 9 Age 21.5 DS Analysis Taylor should slide into the starting role for the Jets immediately, potentially as the number two option after Garrett Wilson. His soft hands and red zone ability give Taylor a solid floor alongside QB Justin Fields.
13	Elijah Arroyo E Arroyo SEA TE13	N/A	8	22.7	91	455	825	1,629	Arroyo joined an open situation in Seattle, which needs playmakers after trading D.K. Metcalf and releasing Tyler Lockett. His athleticism should make him a target hog for the Seahawks and new QB Sam Darnold. Arroyo has a bright long-term outlook with weekly TE1 upside.	23
5yr. Proj 825 10yr. Proj 1629 ADP N/A Bye 8 Age 22.7 DS Analysis Arroyo joined an open situation in Seattle, which needs playmakers after trading D.K. Metcalf and releasing Tyler Lockett.

Tier 6
14	Kyle Pitts K Pitts ATL TE14	N/A	5	25.1	205	491	788	1,372	Another year of disappointment with Pitts. He ended as the TE18 in PPR points per game, only posting three TE1 performances all season. The inconsistency, even with a new offense and QB, was maddening. Perhaps QB Michael Penix provides a boost, but likely, Pitts isn't long for Atlanta. 2025 is a contract year.	21
5yr. Proj 788 10yr. Proj 1372 ADP N/A Bye 5 Age 25.1 DS Analysis Another year of disappointment with Pitts.

15	Theo Johnson T Johnson NYG TE15	N/A	14	24.8	180	494	785	1,363	Johnson started the majority of the season for New York but didn’t have consistent production or targets. He certainly flashed his superior athletic and after-the-catch ability, so a role expansion could be in the works. Johnson could emerge as a fantasy threat if the Giants get QB stability.	21

16	David Njoku D Njoku CLE TE16	N/A	9	29.3	152	498	759	1,333	Njoku battled injuries throughout the season but was no stranger to spike weeks when he played. He ended as the TE4 in PPR points per game. He had a TE1 performance in seven of the 11 games he played. The Browns' offense is concerning, but Njoku will be a value if his current trend continues.	19
5yr. Proj 759 10yr. Proj 1333 ADP N/A Bye 9 Age 29.3 DS Analysis Njoku battled injuries throughout the season but was no stranger to spike weeks when he played.

Tier 7
17	Brenton Strange B Strange JAC TE17	N/A	8	24.9	130	456	725	1,259	Strange filled in for Evan Engram and flashed some potential in 2024, including an 11-catch game in Week 15. 2025 turns up a starting role after Evan Engram signed with Denver in free agency. Recall that Jacksonville spent a Round 2 pick on Strange in 2023.	15
5yr. Proj 725 10yr.

Recall that Jacksonville spent a Round 2 pick on Strange in 2023.
18	Isaiah Likely I Likely BAL TE18	N/A	7	25.6	119	459	729	1,266	After a TE1 overall finish in Week 1, Likely only had two more top-ten PPR performances on the season. He finished as the TE20 in points per game and did not see enough targets to be reliable. He will be a free agent after the 2025 season, so there could be hope for him as a lead TE elsewhere down the line.	15
5yr. Proj 729 10yr. Proj 1266 ADP N/A Bye 7 Age 25.6 DS Analysis After a TE1 overall finish in Week 1, Likely only had two more top-ten PPR performances on the season.

19	Travis Kelce T Kelce KC TE19	N/A	10	36.2	232	501	657	1,148	Kelce is no longer the dominant fantasy player he once was, but he still ended as the PPR TE6 in points per game in 2024. The cliff (or retirement) could be coming for the soon-to-be 36-year-old, but he is under contract through 2027.	14

20	T.J. Hockenson T Hockenson MIN TE20	N/A	6	28.4	177	461	717	1,208	Hockenson returned from his torn ACL and MCL and ended the season as the TE14 in points per game. He had a few spike weeks but looked short of 100% for most of the season. 2025 brings bounce-back potential – if QB J.J. McCarthy proves capable.	14

21	Dallas Goedert D Goedert PHI TE21	N/A	9	30.9	186	463	712	1,181	Goedert has crossed the age 30 mark and dealt with both a hamstring and knee injury in 2024. He was TE9 in PPR points per game, but the injuries and age may have started catching up to him. He is currently signed through the 2025 season.	14

He also ended the season with five straight TE1 games. With Lamar Jackson locked in as the QB going forward, Andrews retains a TE1 outlook.	13
5yr. Proj 702 10yr. Proj 1209 ADP N/A Bye 7 Age 30.2 DS Analysis Andrews bounced back from his early-season woes to be the PPR TE6 overall and TE7 in points per game.

23	Dalton Schultz D Schultz HOU TE23	N/A	6	29.3	190	442	688	1,108	The Texans’ offense regressed in 2024, and Schultz certainly felt the impact. He finished as the TE26 in PPR points per game, with his first TE1 performance not coming until Week 10. He's signed through 2026 and figures to play a limited role going forward.	11
5yr. Proj 688 10yr. Proj 1108 ADP N/A Bye 6 Age 29.3 DS Analysis The Texans’ offense regressed in 2024, and Schultz certainly felt the impact.

Tier 8
24	Juwan Johnson J Johnson NO TE24	N/A	11	29.2	194	433	675	1,087	Johnson was just OK in 2024, totaling 50-548-3 in 15 games. New Orleans surprisingly re-signed him to a three-year deal with over $21 million guaranteed. Perhaps his role increases under new HC Kellen Moore, but we’ve seen nothing on the field to forecast a major spike in production.	10

25	Terrance Ferguson T Ferguson LAR TE25	N/A	8	22.7	67	394	671	1,247	Ferguson rose up draft boards late due to his athleticism and final year of film. He fits the Rams as a potential slot option who can run the Stick route. He has a path to starting immediately, depending on the health of Tyler Higbee. He could be a solid TE2 over the long term as the likely starter for the Rams.	9
