Brock Bowers and Trey McBride lead fantasy football tight end rankings

Summary

Fantasy football draft rankings for the 2026 season place Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers and Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride at the top of the position. Bowers enters his third season following a 2025 injury, while McBride is coming off a campaign that set a single-season franchise record for receptions. Analysts also highlight Tyler Warren of the Indianapolis Colts and Colston Loveland of the Chicago Bears as primary options due to expanded roles within their respective offenses. Other high-ranked players like Tucker Kraft and George Kittle are recovering from injuries as the season begins. Rankings account for player departures in free agency, which created more targets for several tight ends across the league. Draft preparations continue as players assess these top performers for early-round selection.
