Brock Bowers and Trey McBride lead tight end fantasy rankings

Brock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders and Trey McBride of the Arizona Cardinals headline the tight end tiers in fantasy football. Both are expected to have significant receiving roles this season, with Bowers posting 64 receptions for 680 yards and 7 touchdowns in 2025, while McBride recorded 126 receptions for 1,239 yards and 11 touchdowns. The usage of multiple tight ends in game plans has contributed to a resurgence in tight end performance, as offenses leverage mismatches against defenses. Fantasy managers are considering drafting Bowers and McBride early in their drafts, particularly those seeking a tight end advantage in their lineups.
