The 2024 fantasy football season is now in the rearview mirror, so … what’s next? Well, if you’ve been playing this great hobby as long as I have, you know there’s never an offseason! In fact, I’ve already started to construct my fantasy player rankings for the 2025 campaign!

At the tight end position, we saw serious positive movement from a number of players who weren’t expected to become fantasy assets. Brock Bowers led the position as a rookie in a record-breaking season, and Jonnu Smith became a top-five player. 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.

On the flip side, fans were disappointed by a number of 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, including Zach Ertz and Mike Gesicki (among others) potentially switching teams as free agents. The Jaguars could move on from Engram in favor of Brenton Strange, and Ben Sinnott could take over for Ertz in Washington.

Also, young players coming out of college, none more prominent than Penn State’s Tyler Warren, could end up breaking into the top 20. But for now, here’s my way-too-early look at the fantasy running back position for next season.
