Last Updated: May 31


Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-45 |

Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE
21. Noah Gray, TE, Chiefs. Bye: .

Noah Gray is worth adding in the event of a Travis Kelce injury. He can be rostered otherwise in very deep leagues.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 43 catches. 460 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 86.

22. Colston Loveland, TE, Bears

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 560 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 86.

23. Mike Gesicki, TE, Bengals. Bye: .

Mike Gesicki was barely a factor the past two years, and yet he became a major receiving threat for the Bengals last year. That’ll continue, especially if one of Ja’Marr Chase or Tee Higgins gets hurt.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 610 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 85.

24. Cole Kmet, TE, Bears. Bye: .

Cole Kmet had a disappointing season, as Keenan Allen ate into his workload.Kmet is somehow still just 26. He’ll be hurt by Colston Loveland’s presence.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 530 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 83.

25. Cade Otton, TE, Buccaneers. Bye: .

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 22 catches. 190 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 82.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 82.

28. Isaiah Likely, TE, Ravens. Bye: .

Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 81.

29. Hunter Henry, TE, Patriots. Bye: .

Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 81.

30. Zach Ertz, TE, Redskins. Bye: .

Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 69.

34. Mason Taylor, TE, Jets

35. Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Panthers

Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 55.

38. Darnell Washington, TE, Steelers. Bye: .

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 24 catches. 270 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 49.

39. Dawson Knox, TE, Bills. Bye: .

Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 41.

40. Tyler Conklin, TE, Jets. Bye: .

Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 39.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 38.
