Fantasy Football: TE depth chart and rankings

Ranking and keeping track of tight ends around the league.

NFL: New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills Kevin Hoffman-USA TODAY Sports

Rankings: QB | HB | WR | TE

It’s always important to keep an eye on team’s depth charts in the fantasy world. There’s nothing more frustrating than wasting a draft pick on a player who is buried in the depth chart and, unless a plague sweeps the team, has no real chance at seeing consistent playing time during the season.

Here is the tight end depth chart of all 32 teams. Obviously tight ends labeled Starter are currently set to be the number one option. Backup is who is currently behind the starter on team’s depth chart.

For each TE, I’ve attached a Value to them (where I see their fantasy value currently at): TE1 (top 10), TE2 (11-25) and Don’t Bother (pretty self explanatory). I’ve also given my initial value for each backup tight end if either the starter is injured or sees their playtime reduced throughout the season. For backups I’ve added a Waiver value, which means worth a potential pickup.

Enjoy!

Note: Depth chart will be updated throughout offseason.
