TE Premium Dynasty Rankings 2026

Updated on Tue, 13 Jan 2026

If you’re looking for TE Premium Dynasty Rankings, then you already know that tight ends gain a lot of value. So do these rankings.

Each player’s 3D value starts with our award-winning baseline projection. We use a weighted average of that number from this season plus his past two years of actual production to generate three-year, five-year, and even 10-year projections.

Then we apply position-specific aging curves and expected retirement rates based on two decades of NFL research. Finish with a cross-positional algorithm, and you get the 3D Value+ ratings that determine these dynasty rankings.

Tier breaks give you a clear view of the true value gaps for the TE Premium format.

Tier 1
1	Ja'Marr Chase J Chase CIN WR1	1.01	10	25.8	275	958	1,553	2,869	Chase took a slight step backward after his triple crown in 2024, but he navigated a 2025 with Joe Burrow missing most of the season. He finished the season as the WR3 in PPR points per game at 19.7 and that felt closer to his floor than ceiling. With a healthy Burrow, Chase will challenge for the top WR yearly for most of his career.	100

2	Bijan Robinson B Robinson ATL RB1	1.03	5	23.9	298	840	1,351	2,271	With OC Arthur Smith out of town, Robinson's production exploded to 1,881 total yards and 15 TDs in 2024. While his TD count dropped in 2025, he still posted a career-high 22.0 PPR points per game. He also played all 17 games for the third straight season. At only 24, Bijan should remain an elite fantasy option for the foreseeable future.	99

3	Jaxon Smith-Njigba J Smith-Njigba SEA WR2	3.01	8	23.9	284	953	1,552	2,866	JSN took another step forward in his third season, finishing as WR2 in PPR points per game at a hefty 21.3. Even on a Seahawks offense that wanted to lean on the run, JSN was still dominant. His route running and athleticism leave him open on most passing plays, which led to 163 targets from Sam Darnold. At only 23-years old, JSN is one of the top players in dynasty.	99

4	Puka Nacua P Nacua LAR WR3	1.11	8	24.6	283	917	1,503	2,810	Nacua had a career year in 2025 finishing as the WR1 overall in PPR with 377 fantasy points. Matthew Stafford pelted him 166 targets as the focal point for the entire Rams' offense. He is locked in as a top WR dynasty option at only 24 years old. There is long term uncertainty with the QB situation that does push Nacua away from being the top dynasty WR however.	94

5	Jahmyr Gibbs J Gibbs DET RB2	1.04	8	23.8	291	807	1,281	2,046	Despite a slow start, Gibbs largely delivered as a rookie RB. He averaged 5.2 YPC and popped in 10 TDs on 182 attempts, adding 52 receptions. His production reached new heights in 2024, and he proved more than capable as a workhorse back following a late-season injury to David Montgomery. 2025 turned up much of the same, as he finished as the PPR RB3 even with a few late-season duds. The former Round 1 pick is now eligible for a contract extension.	90

6	Brock Bowers B Bowers LVR TE1	1.10	8	23.1	203	958	1,559	2,778	Bowers disappointed in 2025 dealing with a knee injury. He only played in 12 games and ended with 64-680-7 receiving. The talent is undeniable, and Bowers will still be a consistent dynasty starter for the foreseeable future. With a new offense (and QB) in 2026, Bowers should bounce back to being an elite fantasy producer.	87

7	Malik Nabers M Nabers NYG WR4	1.05	14	22.4	70	847	1,435	2,798	Nabers began the season with 25 targets in the first two games, but a torn ACL cut his season short. With speculation that the injury could limit him early next year, Nabers could have a cold fantasy stretch. His talent is undeniable, and now he is paired with a great young QB in Jaxson Dart. Nabers is a great long term investment.	86

8	Amon-Ra St. Brown A St. Brown DET WR7	1.09	8	26.2	275	881	1,420	2,585	The Lions faltered in 2025, but St. Brown kept producing. He ranked fourth in PPR points per game at 19.1. He also ranked second in the league in targets at 172. With Jared Goff locked in for the next few years, St. Brown should stick as a top-12 WR going forward.	84

9	Justin Jefferson J Jefferson MIN WR5	1.02	6	26.5	240	875	1,420	2,602	Jefferson had the worst season of his career in 2025. He finished as WR31 in PPR points per game at 11.9 in a season where he saw J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer at QB. Jefferson did end up with his seventh straight 1,000 yard receiving season, but his connection with McCarthy gives some worry for the future. Jefferson is still an uber talented 26 year old WR, but the situation knocks him down a few spots in the WR rankings.	84

10	CeeDee Lamb C Lamb DAL WR6	1.06	10	26.8	232	881	1,423	2,592	Lamb shared the spotlight with George Pickens, but he was still productive. He finished as WR10 in PPR points per game at 15.5, ceding some work with Pickens. Lamb did have a short stint on IR in 2025 after an AC joint sprain, but he is a consistent fantasy presence when on the field. At only 26, Lamb should be a fantasy mainstay for a long time.	84

11	Trey McBride T McBride ARI TE2	2.12	8	26.1	303	916	1,491	2,770	McBride had a dominant 2025 breaking the single season TE receptions record in Week 17. His fantasy season ended at 119-1174-11. McBride's positive TD regression turned him into reliable weekly TE no matter who the QB is. The Arizona Cardinals may be hitting a rebuild and McBride could be in line for a new QB if Kyler Murray is moved. He shoudl be fairly QB proof and an elite dynasty TE.	83

12	Ashton Jeanty A Jeanty LVR RB3	1.08	8	22.1	229	716	1,181	2,061	Jeanty went from a 1,900-yard sophomore season to a 2,700-yard junior season. His college tape showed elite contact balance, burst, and receiving ability. Arriving as the sixth overall pick, Jeanty showed elite flashes, most notably in a Week 16 game at Houston. Overall, Jeanty's effectiveness was limited by poor O-line and QB play. 2026 will bring major offensive changes, although Jeanty still projects as a workhorse.	82

13	Jeremiyah Love J Love RK RB4	N/A	18	20.6	235	673	1,121	2,096	Love has been a marvel with two straight 1,100-yard rushing seasons with a combined 35 rushing TDs. His contact balance and power are among the top RBs in recent years, and he grades out similarly to Ashton Jeanty. This is despite teammate Jadarian Price being a top RB in this class as well. Love offers three-down upside and should be instantly a top dynasty RB. He won't turn 21 until after the draft.	77

14	De'Von Achane D Achane MIA RB5	2.05	12	24.3	292	737	1,137	1,817	Achane's rushing efficiency hit a snag in 2024. But his receiving work went through the roof: 78 catches, 592 yards, and 6 TDs. Another easy RB1 season surfaced in 2025, although he'll now hit Year 4 alongside a new QB and HC.	76

15	Drake London D London ATL WR8	2.06	5	24.4	168	816	1,343	2,570	London started the season hot but missed four games with a PCL strain. He still ended as the WR8 in PPR points per game at 16.8. He flashed his upside with an 8-113-3 game in early November, showcasing just how dominant London can be. With Kyle Pitts set to be a free agent, London could see even more targets in 2026. He should be a top-12 WR option for the forseeable future.	76

16	Jonathan Taylor J Taylor IND RB6	3.04	11	26.9	282	724	1,113	1,824	Taylor missed three games in 2024 but remained busy on a per-game basis, averaging 23 touches. The former Round 2 pick then went off for a HUGE 2025 that included 323 carries, 1,585 yards, and 18 TDs. He added a career-high 46 catches and 378 yards. Now, Taylor's huge career workload makes him a candidate for an early decline. In the short-term, though, this Indy offense should remain centered on the run. JT is signed for one more season.	75

17	Omarion Hampton O Hampton LAC RB7	2.10	12	22.8	118	704	1,108	1,884	Hampton carried the North Carolina offense for two years (2023-2024, including one year when Drake Maye was the QB). The former four-star recruit tallied two straight years of 1,500+ rushing yards and 15 TDs, and he adds solid receiving potential. A shifty runner who can hit the home run, Hampton showed his athleticism by crushing the Combine with a 4.48 40-yard dash and a 38" vertical. While he landed in a dreamy spot with HC Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers, Hampton made only nine appearances due to an ankle fracture. If healthy, an RB1 season is in reach for '26 and beyond.	75

18	Nico Collins N Collins HOU WR9	2.02	6	26.8	228	804	1,303	2,407	Collins ended as the WR11 in PPR points per game in 2025 with 15.1. The general struggles of the Texans' offense created a volatile season, but Collins came on late with both QBs Davis Mills and C.J. Stroud. He was a top-12 WR in a struggling offense, so the potential for even better exists over the next few years.	70

19	TreVeyon Henderson T Henderson NE RB8	4.02	14	23.2	185	680	1,075	1,775	Henderson was highly recruited and showed top-end traits at Ohio State, particularly his burst and pass-catching ability. He ran as expected at the Combine with a 4.43 40-yard dash and tied for second among RBs with a 1.52 10-yard split. Henderson appeared in all 17 games as a rookie but wasn't a major contributor until midseason. (He finished as a top-25 PPR back in seven of his final nine games.) An elite QB and an improved O-line only add value here.	70

20	Colston Loveland C Loveland CHI TE3	6.05	5	21.8	144	707	1,184	2,273	Loveland flashed elite potential in his rookie season, especially late in the season with an injury to WR Rome Odunze. He took a backseat to Cole Kmet early in 2025, but Loveland would start being a full time player late in the season. Loveland only had one drop during the fantasy season. His elite athleticism and hands should make him the Sam LaPorta of HC Ben Johnson's offense moving forward.	59

The Panthers leaned run heavy with QB Bryce Young struggling to provide consistency to the passing game, but McMillan was the clear No. 1 on the team. He flashed excellent body control and improved as the season went on. There is star top-12 potential with McMillan at only 22 years old.	58

22	Tyler Warren T Warren IND TE4	5.08	11	23.6	222	703	1,160	2,189	Warren's 2025 was the tale of two seasons. He dominated for the first half of the year achieving top-5 TE numbers in PPR. But an injury to Daniel Jones and a move to Philip Rivers led to an awful late season surge for Warren. The future looks bright for the young TE to be the main weapon for the Colts offense for the forseeable future. The only downside is the volatility that could come week to week going forward.	57

23	Harold Fannin Jr. H Fannin Jr. CLE TE5	16.02	9	21.4	181	635	1,168	2,410	Fannin had an incredible rookie season. After starting the year in the backseat to TE David Njoku, Fannin not only took over but became the No. 1 offensive weapon for the Browns. Fannin ended the fantasy season 72-731-6 on 107 targets, and that was playing with three different QBs over the course of the season. He will enter 2026 at age 22 with his best days ahead. Fannin could take a step forward and be considered an elite TE by the end of 2026.	57

24	Emeka Egbuka E Egbuka TB WR11	5.09	9	23.3	205	664	1,171	2,328	Egbuka got off to a hot start, averaging 16.1 PPR points per game and ranking inside the top-10 WRs in the first 10 weeks of his rookie season. However, he would only top 50 yards once and didn't score a TD in Tampa's final eight games. Those first 10 games show Egbuka's potential. With Mike Evans potentially leaving as a free agent, Egbuka will be in a position to open his sophomore campaign as the Buccaneers' No. 1 WR. Tampa will have a new offense next season, but Egbuka's strong rookie showing puts him near the dynasty WR1 range.	54

25	George Pickens G Pickens UNS WR12	6.02	18	24.8	230	706	1,157	2,174	Coming off his best season (93/1,429/9), Pickens is set to hit free agency. At 25, he'll be one of the top WRs on the open market, but could also be franchise tagged by the Cowboys. A long-term extension in Dallas might be the best-case scenario for Pickens' dynasty value, but he could also cash in as a No. 1 WR for several teams. Just entering his prime, Pickens is an ascending talent with a ton of fantasy appeal.	53
