The 2024 NFL season is almost here, so Newsweek Sports is continuing its fantasy football rankings. We’ve already ranked the top 10 quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers, which you can read below.

Now, it’s time for the final offensive skill position — the tight ends.

Fantasy Football PPR Tight End Rankings

1. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions

LaPorta has officially passed Travis Kelce for the top spot after a dominant rookie season in which he caught 86 passes for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns. LaPorta led tight ends in fantasy points a year ago, and should only improve in year two.

2. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs

Kelce still gets the No. 2 spot as the No. 1 weapon of Patrick Mahomes. He caught 93 passes for 984 yards and five touchdowns a year ago. If the Chiefs can get him a few more red zone looks, he could easily finish as TE1 this season.

3. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens

Andrews remains the favorite target for Lamar Jackson but just needs to stay healthy. He was involved in a car accident during training camp, but it sounds like he avoided any significant injury. He’s always one of the safest options at the tight end position.

4. Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills

Kincaid is due for a year two breakout now that the Bills traded away Stefon Diggs and let Gabe Davis walk in free agency. There are tons of questions in the Bills’ receiver room, meaning Kincaid should get tons of targets from Josh Allen.

5. George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers

Kittle remains arguably the most explosive tight end in the NFL. His fantasy inconsistency isn’t ideal, but his big play potential in a high-powered offense keeps him as a top-five option.

6. Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons

Pitts (and the rest of the Falcons’ weapons) struggled in Arthur Smith’s offense. However, Smith is gone, and the Falcons have a strong quarterback in Kirk Cousins. After being selected fourth overall in 2021, Pitts is finally ready for his breakout season.

7. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals

McBride emerged as a favorite target of Kyler Murray a year ago. Look for that connection to continue in what should be another solid season for the third-year tight end.

8. Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles

Goedert has always been a solid fantasy option, and this year is no different. In 14 games last season, Goedert reeled in 59 catches for 592 yards and three touchdowns.

9. Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders selected Bowers with the No. 13 overall pick in this year’s draft. They’ll want to get him involved in the offense any way they can, which should lead to a strong rookie season.

10. T.J. Hockenson, Minnesota Vikings

Hockenson will miss some time as he recovers from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 16 of last season. However, when healthy, he’s a top-three fantasy tight end. Draft and stash him, as he could end up being a league winner in the second half of the season.
