2026 Dynasty TE Rankings

51 tight ends ranked · 1QB and Superflex · updated September 2026

LMD's own dynasty rankings at tight end: a model's view of long-term value, fitted on real multi-season production, with each player's overall standing on both the 1QB and the Superflex board. Not an ADP, not a consensus, and not a market price list.

Order within a position is the same under 1QB and Superflex; the two overall columns show where the position sits on each board. A dash means the player is ranked on one board and not the other.

How these are made

Every rank here is LMD's dynasty model (version 1.2.0). It projects each player's fantasy production over the next 3-season horizon from observed NFL statistics, discounts the later seasons, and prices the result against the replacement level a 1QB or Superflex lineup implies. Rookies are priced from draft capital -- a prior fitted on prior draft classes -- and are marked as such. A player the model cannot separate from the replacement tail carries no rank and is not on the board.

The order within a position is the same under 1QB and Superflex; what the lineup changes is where quarterbacks sit against everybody else, and the tier cuts. The board reads completed seasons (2025, 2024, 2023), so it moves in the offseason and holds through the season rather than updating weekly.

It is not an average draft position, not a consensus of rankers, and not a trade-value price list. No market data entered it. Tiers are cut where the model's values genuinely fall away.
