NFL Tight End Power Rankings: Projecting All 32 Starters Ahead of Training Camp

George Kittle - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Targets

Quincy Milton projects and ranks all 32 starting NFL tight ends for the 2025 season. From George Kittle to Tommy Tremble, see where your favorite tight end falls.

NFL Tight End Power Rankings: Projecting All 32 Starters Ahead of Training Camp

NFL teams are days from reporting for training camp. We are very close to seeing our beloved players back on the field in pads once again. Tight ends are becoming one of the most important positions in the NFL. As such, they will garner as much interest during training camp as quarterbacks and wide receivers. Let’s dive in and see where tight ends rank across the league ahead of training camp.

Carolina Panthers - NFL, TEAM LOGO, STOCK

32. Tommy Tremble - Carolina Panthers

Tommy Tremble is a quality player, but he is not a large contributor to Carolina’s success. They could use a legitimate threat at the position. For now, Tremble will continue his role of catching a pass or two per game.

NEW YORK GIANTS LOGO - NFL, STOCK

31. Theo Johnson - New York Giants

Theo Johnson flashed solid potential as a rookie in 2024, but he never truly broke out. With an upgrade at the quarterback position in 2025, Johnson has a chance to show what he can do. After all, tight ends tend to take a year or two to develop in the NFL.

Brenton Strange - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire, TE Streamers, NFL DFS

30. Brenton Strange - Jacksonville Jaguars

Brenton Strange is taking over for Evan Engram, who departed for Denver this offseason. Strange is entering Year 3 and put forth a valiant effort filling in for Engram in Year 2. He has a chance to move up this list as the season progresses.

Will Dissly - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, NFL Injury News

29. Will Dissly - Los Angeles Chargers

Will Dissly is returning to the Chargers as a do-it-all tight end. He has been around the block, but he is exactly the type of player that head coach Jim Harbaugh likes to have on his team.

Chigoziem Okonkwo - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

28. Chig Okonkwo - Tennessee Titans

Chig Okonkwo is an athletic freak who has shown flashes of being great in the past. He has never fully put all that athleticism together, and he is now entering a contract season. Okonkwo could level up, but odds are that we will see another status quo season from him.

Noah Fant - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Tight Ends, NFL Injury News

27. Noah Fant - Seattle Seahawks

Noah Fant has never lived up to his first-round pedigree. Additionally, the Seahawks’ tight end room is very crowded with the promising AJ Barner and rookie Elijah Arroyo in the fold. Fant’s time in Seattle is likely coming to an end soon, and his job in Seattle could be in jeopardy based on the play of others at his position.

NEW YORK JETS LOGO - NFL, STOCK

26. Mason Taylor - New York Jets

Mason Taylor is a rookie tight end with a very famous last name. As the son of all-time great pass rusher Jason Taylor, Taylor has big shoes to fill. He is in a great position to succeed in this offense, where he has very little competition for tight end targets.

MIAMI DOLPHINS LOGO - NFL, STOCK

25. Darren Waller - Miami Dolphins

After getting rid of Jonnu Smith, the Dolphins made the shocking move to bring Darren Waller out of retirement. Prime Darren Waller was a force to be reckoned with, but injuries caught up with him. He will be a nice red zone threat for Miami, but do not expect the high-end production we once saw from him.

Juwan Johnson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

24. Juwan Johnson - New Orleans Saints

Juwan Johnson is a rock-solid player for a team devoid of many quality pass-catching options. Johnson could see a lot of attention this season with the Saints having to deploy one of two young quarterbacks.

Colston Loveland - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

23. Colston Loveland - Chicago Bears

Colston Loveland was a surprise selection by the Bears at No. 10 in April’s draft. However, his scheme fit in head coach Ben Johnson’s offense is undeniable. Loveland falls this low on this list because of his significant competition for targets, even within his position.

Hunter Henry - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

22. Hunter Henry - New England Patriots

Hunter Henry has been a solid, if not good, player for several years. He seems to be getting even better with age. During his time in New England, he has been a great security blanket for young quarterbacks. That is unlikely to change in 2025 with quarterback Drake Maye entering year 2.

Dalton Schultz - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

21. Dalton Schultz - Houston Texans

Dalton Schultz has not fully recreated his success experienced in Dallas during his time in Houston, but he has been a solid player for quarterback C.J. Stroud. Schultz’s role as an underneath target should continue without interruption in 2025.

Cade Otton - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

20. Cade Otton - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Cade Otton began the 2024 season on fire, but he cooled off over the back half of the season. The Buccaneers have weapons at every level and added wide receiver Emeka Egbuka in the 2025 NFL Draft. As such, Otton is likely going to be relegated to a small role once again.

Tyler Higbee - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

19. Tyler Higbee - Los Angeles Rams

Tyler Higbee is returning as one of Matthew Stafford’s most trusted targets. However, the addition of tight end Terrrance Ferguson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft complicates Higbee’s future. Ferguson is a promising young rookie who could make a name for himself sooner rather than later.

Dalton Kincaid - Fantasy Football, Tight End, Draft, Rankings, DFS

18. Dalton Kincaid - Buffalo Bills

Dalton Kincaid was supposed to take over as a high-end No. 2 pass catcher in the Bills’ offense. That has yet to happen as he enters Year 3 in the NFL. To be fair, Kincaid battled injuries in what could have been a breakout second season in 2024. He will look to take a huge step forward in 2025.

Kyle Pitts - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

17. Kyle Pitts - Atlanta Falcons

Kyle Pitts is likely entering his final season in Atlanta after three straight underwhelming campaigns. Perhaps being in a contract year will ignite a higher level of play from the former No. 4 overall pick.

Tucker Kraft - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

16. Tucker Kraft - Green Bay Packers

Tucker Kraft displayed that he has what it takes to be a quality NFL tight end with a huge 2024 season. He was a touchdown machine and could repeat that success in 2025.

Tyler Warren - College Football Rankings - NCAA CFB DFS Lineup Picks - NFL Draft

15. Tyler Warren - Indianapolis Colts

Tyler Warren is entering an offense without an elite pass-catching option. As such, he has a chance to immediately take over that role. Warren was the No. 1 tight end prospect in 2025, but he was ultimately drafted as the No. 2 tight end behind Colston Loveland. His talent and production profile could propel him to serious heights depending on the quarterback play in Indianapolis this season.

Mark Andrews - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

14. Mark Andrews - Baltimore Ravens

Mark Andrews is nowhere near the athlete he once was, but he knows the game very well and should have another solid season in an offense that caters to his skill set. His days in Baltimore may be numbered, but expect Andrews to find the end zone repeatedly once again in 2025.

Jonnu Smith - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

13. Jonnu Smith - Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers shook up their team in a big way in recent weeks. Jonnu Smith is one of their newest additions and will pair with Pat Freiermuth. The move hurts both players, given that there are only so many targets to go around in this offense. However, Smith should experience solid success in Pittsburgh.

Jake Ferguson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL News

12. Jake Ferguson - Dallas Cowboys

Jake Ferguson is returning as a quality option in the Cowboys’ offense. He fits into the offense perfectly as a red zone threat, and he is one of Dak Prescott’s favorite targets.

Mike Gesicki - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

11. Mike Gesicki - Cincinnati Bengals

Mike Gesicki is returning in an offense featuring Joe Burrow at quarterback. Joe Burrow put together an MVP-caliber season in 2024. If he repeats that effort, Gesicki will have another solid season despite the plethora of other weapons in the offense.

Zach Ertz - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

10. Zach Ertz - Washington Commanders

Zach Ertz is a timeless veteran. He quickly established himself as one of Jayden Daniels’ most trusted targets in 2024. Ertz may not have the athleticism he displayed in his 20s, but he knows where to be and seems to always be open when it matters most.

Evan Engram - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

9. Evan Engram - Denver Broncos

Evan Engram is on his way to Denver and could have a career year in the Sean Payton-led offense. If quarterback Bo Nix takes a step forward, Engram will be a force in an already solid offense.

Dallas Goedert - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

8. Dallas Goedert - Philadelphia Eagles

Dallas Goedert enjoyed a nice playoff run with the Eagles. He has become an invaluable part of the Eagles’ offense and will continue to be so in 2025.

David Njoku - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire

7. David Njoku - Cleveland Browns

David Njoku’s power ranking is on delicate ground right now. The uncertainty around the Browns’ quarterback situation will significantly affect Njoku’s ability to produce in 2025. However, this athletic freak has put on a serious display over the last couple of years, and he should be at least solid with whomever the Browns roll out at quarterback.

T.J. Hockenson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

6. T.J. Hockenson - Minnesota Vikings

T.J. Hockenson has not had a chance to enjoy a full, healthy season with the Vikings yet. Hopefully, he will experience a healthy season in 2025 as the team will roll out the young J.J. McCarthy at quarterback. McCarthy will need a player like Hockenson who can dominate in the middle of the field.

Travis Kelce - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

5. Travis Kelce - Kansas City Chiefs

Travis Kelce, like others on this list, is entering a portion of his career where he will need to rely more on his football IQ than his athleticism. Given that Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes are often in full sync with each other, that should not be a problem.

Sam LaPorta - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

4. Sam LaPorta - Detroit Lions

Sam LaPorta experienced a bit of a sophomore slump in 2024, but he came alive down the stretch of the season and will look to carry that momentum into 2025.

Trey McBride - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers, Tight End

3. Trey McBride - Arizona Cardinals

Trey McBride has established himself as one of the truly elite tight end options in the NFL. McBride was a 1,000-yard receiver in 2024, and he is the Cardinals’ No. 1 pass-catching option.

Brock Bowers - Fantasy Football Rankings, TE, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

2. Brock Bowers - Las Vegas Raiders

Brock Bowers is off to a very auspicious start to his career. Bowers had the greatest rookie tight end season of all time in 2024. With no real competition added to the Raiders’ pass-catching core, Bowers could have an even better second season in 2025.

George Kittle - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Targets

1. George Kittle - San Francisco 49ers

George Kittle is the best tight end in the league right now due to everything he brings to the table. The guy relishes in blocking, but he is a threat to crush teams in the receiving game as well.
