Dynasty Fantasy Football TE Risers

Mike Gesicki, Cincinnati Bengals

This Cincinnati Bengals team could have been MUCH different heading into 2025 if a couple of actions had gone the other way. Luckily, the Bengals’ front office listened to its franchise quarterback, Joe Burrow, and all three of Ja'Marr ChaseTee Higgins, and Mike Gesicki signed new long-term contracts to stay with the Bengals.

Gesicki found a new lease on his NFL and fantasy life with the Bengals last season, as he was used as an almost 70% slot player and mismatch “F” tight end. With twice as many receptions in 2024 (65) as the last two seasons combined in New England and Miami (61), he was the de facto third target in the high-flying Bengals offense that led the league in pass rate over expected last season.

His value was none more evident than when Higgins went down with an injury in Weeks 8-10. Gesicki averaged 8.6 targets, 5.3 receptions, 68 receiving yards, and scored two touchdowns in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders. At worst, he’s plenty involved. At best, he’s targeted heavily in a pass-first offense. You can’t go wrong with either scenario.

- Kevin Thompkins

Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars

Jacksonville purged its injury-prone potpourri of pass-catchers during the offseason. Christian Kirk was traded to the Houston Texans. Tight end Evan Engram was released. So was multimillion-dollar disappointment Gabe Davis. Now, the Jaguars' receiving corps is a two-man, top-heavy tandem of super sophomore Brian Thomas Jr. and the multidimensional Travis Hunter, the second pick in April’s draft.

Someone has to catch the paltry passes not thrown Thomas and Hunter’s way, though. QB Trevor Lawrence already has chemistry with second-year tight end Brenton Strange after he filled in admirably for Engram when the veteran missed half the season due to injury. The Penn State product posted a 40-411-2 line during his rookie year and proved he could handle the workload of a starting tight end in the NFL.

Strange failed to score a touchdown over the final dozen games of the season, so he needs to improve his nose for the end zone. But that can come in time. Chicago’s Kmet had a touchdown-less season in 2021 but then bounced back with 17 scores over the past three years.

Strange should find plenty of room to roam in secondaries with Thomas and Hunter distracting defenders this season. With those two speedsters opening up the underneath and seam routes for Strange, Jacksonville’s top tight end could supply fantasy managers with 600-750 yards and six touchdowns as a high-end TE2 or a low-end TE1. That is not bad for a guy ranked right now in the 20s at the position in most fantasy circles.

- Craig Rondinone

 

Dynasty Fantasy Football TE Fallers

Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs

The days of Travis Kelce being a safe, first or second-round selection in fantasy football drafts are over. The 35-year-old is still churning out 90-reception seasons, but the yardage and touchdown totals have plummeted. Kelce's 823 yards last season were the lowest since his rookie season (when he played one game).

It was the same story for his three touchdowns. His yards per target dropped by nearly two yards. While age may be partially to blame, Patrick Mahomes has spread the football to a crowded roster of pass catchers. In the three games Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy shared the field, Kelce saw four, three, and five targets; three of his five lowest marks for the season.

He and Rice operate best in the middle of the field on short-area throws. Marquise Brown wasn't active in that timeframe either. The muddied pecking order has dropped Kelce into the middle of the TE1 rankings, a far fall from a fantasy superstar of past seasons.

- Andrew Ball

Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Cade Otton is entering his third season as a pro in 2024, but he’s been a good-not-great tight end. He earned a ton of routes in 2023 but has never earned targets on a consistent basis. 2024 changed the perception of Otton to a degree, as he was leaned on to carry quite a bit of the receiving workload thanks to injuries to Chris Godwin and Mike Evans.

Otton’s routes-based upside has been a thing since 2023, and he saw at least 80 percent or more routes per dropback in each game save for one in that season. With career highs in almost every receiving metric in 2024, his stock may have added some upside after seeing a three-game stretch in Weeks 7-9 where Otton earned double-digit targets in each game, caught no less than eight balls, and was no worse than a weekly TE5 in each game.

The routes-based part of Otton’s game should not fluctuate too wildly with the three other tight ends on the Buccaneers roster, all signed for 2025 as well. But the rub is that the Buccaneers signed Godwin to another contract and drafted Emeka Egbuka in the first round. Otton’s path to relevant targets is extremely thin heading into 2025. While Otton’s role is secure from a routes perspective, Otton could be as low as the seventh target when factoring in the wide receivers, plus both Bucky Irving and Rachaad White being solid pass-catching options.
