Over the last few weeks, I’ve looked at the combined 2024 and 2025 dynasty rankings for prospects at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver. Today, we’ll take a look at the tight ends. 

As with the other positions, the 2024 prospects are being viewed as prospects before draft capital and landing spots. Let’s dive in.

Tier 1

1. Brock Bowers

(2024 TE1, Georgia)

717 yds, 6 TDs

2.65 y/rr, 8.7 yac/rec

5.1 drp%

One of the best tight end prospects ever, Brock Bowers is an elite playmaker and mismatch at the tight end position. He has elite route running and explosiveness after the catch.

Tier 2

2. Tyler Warren

(2025 TE1, Penn State)

910 yds, 5 TDs

3.12 y/rr, 7.4 yac/rec

1.3 drp%

For his size, Tyler Warren is very athletic and understands how to set defenders up to create separation and uses his big body to secure contested catches. 

3. Colston Loveland

(2025 TE2, Michigan)

582 yds, 5 TDs

2.67 y/rr, 5.2 yac/rec

3.4 drp%

Colston Loveland is an athletic dependable tight end that will be a great asset in the receiving game in the NFL. He is slightly undersized to be a dependable blocker but has the frame to support some extra weight to improve in that area in the future. 

4. Harold Fannin Jr

(2025 TE3, Bowling Green)

1,295 yds, 9 TDs

4.01 y/rr, 7.8 yac/rec

1.1 drp%

Harold Fannin Jr is putting up one of the best seasons for a tight end ever. He is a great route-runner and tough after the catch. He is dominating the target share at Bowling Green and it’s easy to see why. He is slightly undersized so may need to bulk up to be an every-down tight end, but should be a factor for a team that is willing to feature him in the NFL.

Tier 3

Mason Taylor

(2025 TE4, LSU)

518 yds, 2 TDs

1.26 y/rr, 4.8 yac/rec

3.7 drp%

Mason Taylor doesn’t have the production that some of the other prospects on this list have, but he does have a big frame and comes from a Hall of Fame bloodline. He’s been a dependable target for LSU with strong hands and the size to move people as a blocker. He’s a fluid athlete that should contribute on the right team in the NFL.

6. Ja’Tavion Sanders

(2024 TE2, Texas)

682 yds, 2 TDs

1.86 y/rr, 7.7 yac/rec

0.0 drp%

Ja’Tavion Sanders is much more of a pass catcher than a blocker, but he’s athletic with great hands. He’s slightly undersized and needs to develop as an in-line blocker in the NFL, but with the right team and in the right scheme he could be a weapon in the pass game.

7. Terrance Ferguson

(2025 TE5, Oregon)

442 yds, 1 TDs

2.14 y/rr, 10.5 yac/rec

11.4 drp%

Terrance Ferguson is a big-bodied athletic tight end who has a chance to see the field early in the NFL. He’s strong and a great runner after the catch. He’s outshined by other big targets at Oregon, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we’re talking about him as one of the top tight ends in this class.

8. Oronde Gadsden

(2025 TE6, Syracuse)

810 yds, 5 TDs

1.93 y/rr, 8.7 yac/rec

4.4 drp%

Oronde Gadsden II is undersized for a tight end but has the frame to put on more weight. He’s a great route-runner and has strong hands at the catch point. He has good long speed and is a fluid runner, but will need to build strength to improve his blocking for a full-time role as a tight end in the NFL.

9. Ben Sinnott

(2024 TE3, Kansas State)

669 yds, 6 TDs

2.02 y/rr, 6.8 yac/rec

4.0 drp%

Ben Sinnott is surprisingly athletic for his size and is strong after the catch. He is not elite at any one thing but has above-average traits across the board. He will need some time to develop his route running to become a reliable fantasy asset.

Tier 4

10. Gunnar Helm

(2025 TE7, Texas)

544 yds, 5 TDs

1.69 y/rr, 7.0 yac/rec

2.3 drp%

Gunnar Helm is another tight end who doesn’t have any elite traits but has many good ones. He’s a solid route runner with a knack for finding open spaces. He has reliable hands and is good at fighting for extra yards after the catch.

11. Jake Briningstool

(2025 TE8, Clemson)

403 yds, 5 TDs

1.32 y/rr, 4.9 yac/rec

9.5 drp%

Jake Briningstool is a big-bodied, agile tight end with a knack for finding open spaces in zones. He is athletic and should test well at the combine. He has had some issues with drops in his career and needs to clean that up to become a more dependable target.

12. Cade Stover

(2024 TE4, Ohio State)

576 yds, 5 TDs

2.04 y/rr, 6.9 yac/rec

0.0 drp%

Cade Stover is a strong big-bodied tight end that is tough to bring down after the catch. He’s more fast than quick and ran a limited route tree at Ohio State. He does have strong, dependable hands and had no drops in his final collegiate season. 

13. Theo Johnson

(2024 TE5, Penn State)

341 yds, 7 TDs

1.26 y/rr, 5.0 yac/rec

5.6 drp%

More of a receiving tight end, Theo Johnson is athletic and fast. At the combine, he ran a 4.57 40-yard dash. He could be a reliable red-zone threat in the NFL.

14. Erick All

(2024 TE6, Iowa)

299 yds, 3 TDs

2.62 y/rr, 6.1 yac/rec

16.0 drp%

The latest tight end to come out of tight end university, Erick All suffered a knee injury early in his final season, but he was a reliable target at both Michigan and Iowa in his time at college. He’s a good route-runner and runs well after the catch. He needs to clean up his drops in the NFL though.

15. Jared Wiley

(2024 TE7, TCU)

520 yds, 8 TDs

1.61 y/rr, 6.4 yac/rec

2.1 drp%

Jared Wiley was a reliable receiver for TCU. He’s athletic and great after the catch. He’s a savvy route-runner and has strong hands as well. He could be a big playmaker and mismatch in the NFL.

16. Elijah Arroyo

(2025 TE9, Miami)

482 yds, 5 TDs

1.64 y/rr, 10.8 yac/rec

3.7 drp%

Elijah Arroyo is another big-bodied athletic tight end, who runs well after the catch. He has reliable hands and could have a high ceiling if he lands in an offense that can get him into open space.

17. Eli Stowers

(2025 TE10, Vanderbilt)

574 yds, 4 TDs

2.40 y/rr, 8.1 yac/rec

4.3 drp%

Eli Stowers is a fluid, athletic undersized tight end who has solid hands. He is great after the catch and tough to bring down. He is undersized but could be a major factor in the receiving game in the NFL though he may need some time to develop.

18. Dallin Holker

(2024 TE8, Colorado State)

766 yds, 6 TDs

1.58 y/rr, 5.9 yac/rec

5.9 drp%

While Dalin Holker doesn’t have elite top-end speed, he does have decent quickness and acceleration for his size. He’s an above-average route runner as well. He’s average after the catch, but has dependable hands and catches the ball well away from his body.
