2025 Fantasy Football TE Rankings
Last Updated: August 24 2025 8:31 am| Rank | Name | Team | ADP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brock Bowers | LV | 17.15 |
| Bowers investors were left WAY in the black in '24. Supreme separator, pass catcher and route runner. 100+ rec likely. | |||
| 2 | Trey McBride | ARI | 24.73 |
| Slip a ring on the Bridezilla in RD3 of 12-team drafts. Set the pace in TE TGT% (29.3) and air yds share (25.3%) in '24. | |||
| 3 | George Kittle | SF | 41.73 |
| Inked $70+ million extension in offseason. Last year's TE1 in fantasy scoring was No. 1 in YPRR, YPT and YPR. | |||
| 4 | Evan Engram | DEN | 109.92 |
| JAX to DEN oddly discounted him in early drafts. Will be underneath staple in offense craving joker TE. 80+ recs. | |||
| 5 | Sam LaPorta | DET | 68.54 |
| Endured sophomore slump in '24, falling back in several cats. Still scored 7 TDs, ranked top 5 in total RZ targets. | |||
| 6 | T.J. Hockenson | MIN | 80.73 |
| Hock nothing to spit at. Earned healthy 6.2 targets/game, finished No. 3 in YPRR in 10 games in '24. JJ safety valve. | |||
| 7 | Mark Andrews | BAL | 100.46 |
| He's long in the tooth, but a fixture in the RZ on a Super Bowl contending team. Totaled 11 TDs, No. 1 in aDOT in '24. | |||
| 8 | Tyler Warren | IND | 118.50 |
| Terrific YAC and quite versatile, but rickety QB situation quells first-year contributions. But TGTs could crank. | |||
| 9 | Travis Kelce | KC | 89.08 |
| Mr. Taylor Swift has achieved all-time great TE status, but "Bad Blood" could brew in fantasy. Father Time knocking. | |||
| 10 | David Njoku | CLE | 108.08 |
| QB? Flacco? Pickett? Gabriel? Shedeur? Maybe Bernie Kosar comes out of retirement. Don't overspend. | |||
| 11 | Jake Ferguson | DAL | 138.85 |
| Will benefit against soft coverage with Ds accounting for Lamb and Pickens. Return to '23 production: 71-761-5. | |||
| 12 | Tucker Kraft | GB | 121.96 |
| Earned Spotted Cow in breakout last year. Only toed the TE1 line in 12-teamers, but was No. 2 in YPRR, YPC and YPT. | |||
| 13 | Colston Loveland | CHI | 136.81 |
| Ben Johnson envisions Loveland as his new LaPorta. Mouths to feed in CHI, but 600-650 yards with 5 TDs doable. | |||
| 14 | Dallas Goedert | PHI | 137.65 |
| Hamstring/knee issues cost him 7 gms, but still a top-10 per game output. Posted the third-best catchable TGT%. | |||
| 15 | Brenton Strange | JAC | 171.50 |
| Cue The Doors classic. When you're Strange, no one remembers your name. Unfairly discounted? Sneaky in PPR. | |||
| 16 | Jonnu Smith | Pit | 112.27 |
| Generated 123.9 QB rating when targeted in '24. Going from Tua-to-Rodgers about equal. Back-end TE1. | |||
| 17 | Kyle Pitts | ATL | 151.73 |
| THIS IS THE YEAR! Nope. Refuse to believe it. FAFO. Vote again for Pitts and buyer's remorse is sure to kick in. | |||
| 18 | Zach Ertz | WAS | 162.73 |
| It Ertz so good. Come on baby, make it Ertz so good. Turned back the clock in '24 with most targets (91) since '21. | |||
| 19 | Cade Otton | TB | 175.65 |
| Given number of hungry, hungry hippos in TB offense, he'll only sporadically shine. Final line 50-500-5 probable. | |||
| 20 | Dalton Kincaid | BUF | 137.65 |
| Popular shocker special in drafts last year, he failed to deliver. Talented separator, but what's changed? | |||
| 21 | Pat Freiermuth | PIT | 162.37 |
| MUUUUUUTTTHHH! A quality contributor at the position, but there are unknowns in PIT and Jonnu's arrival a dent | |||
| 22 | Chig Okonkwo | Ten | 206.57 |
| Slick over-the-middle target could become a short-field favorite for rookie Ward. Solid late-round dice roll. | |||
| 23 | Hunter Henry | NE | 164.23 |
| For the wait on a TE crowd, target the Pat. Despite No. 7 finish in RZ tgt in '24, he tallied just 2 TDs. Correction? | |||
| 24 | Elijah Arroyo | ▲Sea | 238.67 |
| Noah Fant's release raises potential for Arroyo in a blink. SEA TEs totaled 122 targets in '24. | |||
| 25 | Mike Gesicki | CIN | 165.69 |
| Athletic slot man will boom in the box score, but only sporadically. Tie to Burrow labels him a fine stream option. | |||
