2025 Fantasy Football Projections: Tight Ends

1. Brock Bowers, Raiders – 95.5 receptions, 999.5 receiving yards, 4.5 receiving TDs

• Brock Bowers bursted on to the scene last season as this explosive threat on a not so sturdy offense. Although Bowers will still be the most targeted player by opposing defenses, the addition of Geno Smith should be competent enough to allow Bowers to succeed this season.

2. Trey McBride, Cardinals - 95.5 receptions, 999.5 yards, 4.5 TDs
3. George Kittle, 49ers - 84.5 receptions, 899.5 yards, 4.5 TDs
4. T.J. Hockenson, Vikings - 71.5 receptions, 750.5 yards, 3.5 TDs

• WR Jordan Addison’s three-game suspension provides a unique opportunity for Hockenson to increase his target share for a young quarterback in J.J. McCarthy who is looking for a reliable target outside of Justin Jefferson.

5. Sam LaPorta, Lions - 59.5 receptions, 675.5 yards, 6.5 TDs
6. David Njoku, Browns - 67.5 receptions, 675.5 yards, 5.5 TDs

• Although he has faced injury problems in recent years, David Njoku has still managed to be one of the best tight ends in the league. Now with a quarterback competition in Cleveland and potentially a lackluster rushing attack, an easy target for the several quarterbacks who could start in Cleveland could go a long way in fantasy this season.

7. Travis Kelce, Chiefs - 73.5 receptions, 699.5 yards, 5 TDs
8. Evan Engram, Broncos - 60.5 receptions, 575.5 yards, 3.5 TDs

• Looking to have a bounce back season after struggling with injuries, Evan Engram could find some success with a young and promising quarterback in Bo Nix, who needed a target like Engram last year. There should be plenty of opportunities, as Engram is typically a sleeper pick in this position each year.

9. Mark Andrews, Ravens - 49.5 receptions, 599.5 yards, 6.5 TDs

• Andrews finds himself in an interesting place with Likely paired next to him. After a brutal end to the Ravens’ season after dropping the two-point conversion, he comes into this season with a chip on his shoulder looking to keep that top spot at the position in a stacked offense.

10. Tucker Kraft, Packers - 48.5 receptions, 625.5 yards, 3.5 TDs
11. Colston Loveland, Bears - 54.5 receptions, 600.5 yards, 3.5 TDs
12. Tyler Warren, Colts - 47.5 receptions, 525.5 yards, 4.5 TDs
13. Jake Ferguson, Cowboys - 58.5 receptions, 550.5 yards, 3.5 TDs
14. Dallas Goedert, Eagles - 53.5 receptions, 575.5 yards, 3.5 TDs
15. Dalton Kincaid, Bills - 60.5 receptions, 599.5 yards, 3.5 TDs
16. Kyle Pitts, Falcons - 43.5 receptions, 549.5 yards
17. Hunter Henry, Patriots - 53.5 receptions, 575.5 yards, 3.5 TDs
18. Zach Ertz, Commanders
19. Jonnu Smith, Steelers
20. Chig Okonkwo, Titans - 48.5 receptions, 475.5 yards, 2.5 TDs
21. Darren Waller, Dolphins
22. Brenton Strange, Jaguars - 49.5 receptions, 499.5 yards
23. Mike Gesicki, Bengals - 41.5 receptions, 425.5 yards
24. Isaiah Likely, Ravens
25. Cade Otton, Buccaneers - 48.5 receptions, 485.5 yards, 3.5 TDs
