One position you may need to make some decisions on early is tight end. In 2025, it was a historic year for tight ends (Trey McBride) and also a down year for others (Brock Bowers, George Kittle, Tucker Kraft). With the elite crop of TEs deep (though not without injury concerns), there's a chance you have an easy time in Week 1. If you went with a late-round option or multiple TEs, we're here to help. Below is our consensus Week 1 tight end rankings.
