Top 32 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings for 2024

Fantasy football season is closing in quickly (remember, the first preseason game is on August 1), so it’s time to make some notes on players and personnel movement and create an initial list of rankings.

Here are my initial fantasy football rankings for every position, and now it’s time to dig a little bit deeper into each fantasy lineup position.

Tight end has become a top-heavy position with a handful of elite fantasy options, but it takes a dip after the top 10. As a result, managers will either decide to use a top-50 pick to secure a high-end option, or punt the position down the line into the middle to late rounds. So let’s look at the tight end rankings, as well as who some of the top values and busts are for 2024.

Taysom Hill (Ranked TE19, ADP TE29)

Hill is a Swiss Army knife in fantasy leagues, as he can give managers stats as a thrower, runner and receiver. And with Juwon Johnson’s status for the start of the season in question, Hill could play an even bigger role at tight end in the opening month. He’s an attractive No. 2 tight end.

Daniel Bellinger (Ranked TE21, ADP TE38)

The retirement of Darren Waller gives Bellinger a big boost in terms of fantasy football. He’s not going to put up huge numbers, but he’ll certainly play a bigger role in the Giants offense this season. I like him as a late-round No. 2 fantasy tight end, and I expect his ADP to rise through the summer.

T.J. Hockenson (Ranked TE18, ADP TE15)

This isn’t a huge gap, but Hockenson is a hard player to rank coming off a late-season AC injury. The VIkings also have new quarterbacks in Sam Darnold and J.J. McCarthy, so he could be a bit behind in terms of gaining a rapport with his new teammates. He’s a draft and stash option for now.

Isaiah Likely (Ranked TE32, ADP TE23)

Likely is certainly capable of putting up strong fantasy numbers, but he’s been mostly unreliable in games where Mark Andrews is active. In fact, he’s had just 35 catches in 24 career games played with Andrews. So, with the veteran entering the season healthy, I’m “unLikely” to draft Isaiah.
