2024 Fantasy Football Rankings – Tight Ends

Last Updated: February 18


Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-45 |

Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE | DraftSharks’ Projections
21. Isaiah Likely, TE, Ravens

Isaiah Likely must be owned if Mark Andrews gets hurt. He’s not rosterable otherwise.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 33 catches. 380 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 83.

22. Pat Freiermuth, TE, Steelers

Pat Freiermuth missed a third of the season with an injury. He should be able to bounce back in 2024, especially if Kenny Pickett can improve.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 57 catches. 580 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 82.

23. Donald Parham, TE, Chargers

Donald Parham has a chance to be the Chargers’ starting tight end with Gerald Everett hitting free agency.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 45 catches. 480 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 78.

24. Hunter Henry, TE, TBA

Hunter Henry had a slow start to his 2023 season, but caught plenty of touchdowns toward the end. He’s an impending free agent.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 47 catches. 460 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 76.

25. Luke Musgrave, TE, Packers

Luke Musgrave was the Packers’ primary tight end until he got injured and Tucker Kraft played very well in his place.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 42 catches. 410 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 74.

26. Noah Gray, TE, Chiefs

Noah Gray is worth adding in the event of a Travis Kelce injury.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 34 catches. 360 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 74.

27. Darren Waller, TE, Giants

Darren Waller turns 32 at the start of the season. He hasn’t played more than 12 games in a year since 2020.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 51 catches. 550 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 73.

28. Tyler Higbee, TE, Rams

The emergence of Puka Nacua caused Tyler Higbee to take a big hit in 2023.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 540 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 72.

29. Tucker Kraft, TE, Packers

Tucker Kraft took over for an injured Luke Musgrave last season and was arguably better than him.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 35 catches. 390 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 72.

30. Jonnu Smith, TE, Falcons

Jonnu Smith was productive last year, but his biggest ally, Arthur Smith, is gone.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 35 catches. 400 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 68.

31. Gerald Everett, TE, TBA

Gerald Everett had a decent 2023 season, but he’s a free agent and the Chargers probably want a better option.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 50 catches. 450 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 63.

32. Noah Fant, TE, Seahawks

Noah Fant lost snaps with the Seahawks running more three-receiver sets. He’s hitting free agency anyway.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 40 catches. 420 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 60.

33. Kylen Granson, TE, Colts

The Colts deploy a million tight ends, so it’s impossible to guess which one will be the best.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 35 catches. 380 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 60.

34. Logan Thomas, TE, Redskins

Logan Thomas had his best year since his 2021 injury. He turns 33 this summer, however.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 45 catches. 420 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 60.

35. Michael Mayer, TE, Raiders

Michael Mayer was a huge disappointment compared to the other rookie tight ends, but he has some potential.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 36 catches. 390 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 57.

36. Dawson Knox, TE, Bills

Dawson Knox is just an afterthought in Buffalo’s offense with Dalton Kincaid there.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 31 catches. 250 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 53.

37. Hayden Hurst, TE, Panthers

Hayden Hurst was a huge bust signing.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 35 catches. 350 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 53.

38. Tanner Hudson, TE, Bengals

The Bengals signed Irv Smith Jr. last offseason, but Tanner Hudson became the primary receiving tight end. Hudson is a fine player, but the Bengals will be looking for an upgrade.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 35 catches. 310 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 49.

39. Harrison Bryant, TE, Browns

Harrison Bryant once had plenty of potential, but hasn’t done anything with his career. He’s worth adding if David Njoku gets hurt.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 20 catches. 160 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 43.

40. Durham Smythe, TE, Dolphins

Durham Smythe should only be owned if one of Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle gets injured.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 33 catches. 340 receiving yards. 1 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 40.

41. Zach Ertz, TE, TBA

Zach Ertz will turn 34 during the 2024 season, so there’s not much left in the tank.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 25 catches. 170 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 39.

42. Darnell Washington, TE, Steelers

Darnell Washington is an extremely gifted tight end, but several teams flunked him medically, so he could have lots of trouble staying healthy.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 14 catches. 120 receiving yards. 1 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 38.

43. Mike Gesicki, TE, Patriots

Mike Gesicki was barely a factor the past two years, even when Hunter Henry missed time.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 25 catches. 230 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 35.

44. Greg Dulcich, TE, Broncos

Greg Dulcich barely played last year due to injury, but didn’t seem to be in favor with Sean Payton.

Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 24 catches. 200 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 32.
