Pre-Draft Dynasty Rankings, TE

 


The NFL Draft is just over a month away, and when it arrives it will change the fortunes for many teams and fantasy players. In the run up to the draft, I'm looking at my current dynasty rankings. Below is my Top 25 at tight end as of now.

1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs. Kelce remains the best right now, and one of the best of all time.
2. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens. Still a very talented player in a good position, though it's fair to wonder what's happening at quarterback.
3. George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers. He has competition for targets and injury concerns, but his ceiling has him here for me.
4. T.J. Hockenson, Minnesota Vikings. Hockenson is a talented player in a great situation in Minnesota.
5. Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers. Friermuth has been a great producer the past two seasons, and that figures to continue as he's a lynchpin of the Steelers young offensive core.
6. Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons. I love the talent and potential but he hasn't been used as we'd hoped in Atlanta and I'm not confident that changes.
7. Darren Waller, New York Giants. I love Waller's talent and I like the move to New York.
8. Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles. Goedert is a great talent but competing for targets with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
9. Greg Dulcich, Denver Broncos. I like the Broncos' offensive potential and Dulcich's position as a good weapon in that offense.
10. Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars. He found a great spot in Jacksonville but can he make it long-term?
11. Mike Gesicki, New England Patriots. Another strong talent on a one-year deal trying to find long-term security.
12. Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Otton had a strong rookie year and has great potential in Tampa Bay.
13. Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears. We haven't seen consistent production but he's in a good spot.
14. Dalton Schultz, Houston Texans. Schultz is on a one-year contract in a building offense. I like the talent but I'm unsure of his future.
15. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals. The talent is there, the situation is murky, at best.
16. Dawson Knox, Buffalo Bills. Knox seems to be locked into a TE2 role.
17. Noah Fant, Seattle Seahawks. Fant is at best the third option in a mid-level passing game with competition at the position. He's a solid TE2, but that's about it for me.
18. David Njoku, Cleveland Browns. The Browns added some receivers, so where does that leave Njoku? I'm not sure, hence his position for me.
19. Chig Okonkwo, Tennessee Titans. I'm not solid he gets consistent volume, but the talent and potential are there.
20. Hayden Hurst, Carolina Panthers. I like the addition of a solid veteran tight end to this young Panthers team.
21. Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens. A good young talent but he's behind Andrews.
22. Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams. He's a solid TE2 option with highs and lows.
23. Juwann Johnson, New Orleans Saints. I liked the production and his new deal, but I'm not locked in on his long-term potential.
24. Gerald Everett, Los Angeles Chargers. He's still in a good offense but his future is far from certain.
25. Zach Ertz, Arizona Cardinals. Ertz is a talented veteran, but he's near the end and there are a lot of questions about his role in Arizona or for another team.

AFI 100 Years, 100 Movies: No. 23

Image
Back in 1998, the American Film Institute unveiled its list of the 100 greatest films as voted on by members of the cinematic community. The year, I'm looking at the films on that list, re-ranked according to my preference. Check back Fridays and Saturdays throughout the year as we walk through this list of classic films. Henry Hill : [Narrating] As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. Goodfellas (1990) Original List Position : 94 Starring : Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci Director : Martin Scorsese About : Scorsese has been a fixture on this list. We've seen him deliver masterpieces in different decades and genres. That's the case with Goodfellas, which is another of his signature films. It was No. 94 on the original list, moving to No. 92 just 10 years later. I have it significantly higher, and I have it as my highest of his films on this list. It's a very different kind of mafia movie than The Godfather , and yet it feels like the c...

2026 Broncos' Season, Week 5

Image
Week 5: Denver Broncos 23, Los Angeles Chargers 17 Season Record: 3-2 (2-0 Home) Key Play: In the fourth quarter, with time winding down and the Broncos leading 20-17, Justin Herbert threw and interception to Brandon Jones on fourth down. The play allowed the Broncos to milk the clock and kick a field goal to push the lead to six points. Recap: Sean Payton took over the playcalling because there was "meat left on the bone" with the offense. It didn't look like an improvement on Sunday. The team looked lost for most of the game, then used some Special Teams and defensive intensity to manage a comeback and a win. I'm not sure winning is the best thing for this team. Don't get me wrong, I like to win. But this team played badly. They look bad. And getting a win feels like a reward for bad behavior. That's not the kind of football that helps you get to and win in the playoffs. This team feels lost and the offense feels like a mess. A Thursday matchup with the Sea...

1991 Rewind: City Slickers

Image
It's hard to believe, but 1991 was 35 years ago. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be looking at some stand out films from 1991 that are turning 35 in 2026. Today, it's a classic comedy. Mitch Robbins : Value this time in your life kids, because this is the time in your life when you still have your choices, and it goes by so quickly. When you're a teenager you think you can do anything, and you do. Your twenties are a blur. Your thirties, you raise your family, you make a little money and you think to yourself, "What happened to my twenties?" Your forties, you grow a little pot belly you grow another chin. The music starts to get too loud and one of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother. Your fifties you have a minor surgery. You'll call it a procedure, but it's a surgery. Your sixties you have a major surgery, the music is still loud but it doesn't matter because you can't hear it anyway. Seventies, you and the wife r...
