Tight end has been the least affected of the four major fantasy positions in the 2025 NFL offseason to this point. The biggest move was Evan Engram being released by the Jaguars and signing with the Broncos. We also saw Zach Ertz re-sign with the Commanders, Mike Gesicki re-up with the Bengals, and Juwan Johnson remain in New Orleans.

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. 6, one spot ahead of Travis Kelce.

One of last season’s biggest breakout players, Jonnu Smith, comes in at No. 9. 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. He’ll be maybe the most popular fantasy sleeper at the position for next season.

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