Fantasy football rankings 2024: Top tight ends, according to our experts

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta did something truly amazing last season: he became a star fantasy tight end in his rookie year.

That is no small feat at that position. Ten touchdowns and 120 targets for a rookie tight end? Seems like a thing only dreams are made of, but LaPorta got it done. How will he follow his monstrous rookie year up? Our analysts clearly think he'll have plenty to offer in his second season, with three of our five experts having ranked LaPorta as their overall TE1 for 2024.

Travis Kelce is also still around, doing what he does, but heading into his age-35 season, he's officially lost his crown as the consensus TE1 in our team's rankings, now sitting behind the aforementioned LaPorta. There are also the tried and true options of Mark Andrews and George Kittle, each of whom has been a fantasy staple over the past couple of years. And Bills TE, Dalton Kincaid, was no slouch in his rookie year either — he could reach another level in 2024.

Unfortunately, at least one other elite tight end option is out of the mix, at least to start the season, as T.J. Hockenson isn't expected back until "some point" in the first half of the season.

For those looking for a pivot point or late-round value, there seems to be more options than ever, as the tight end position suddenly looks as deep as it's been in recent memory. The team at Yahoo highlighted some of their favorite TE sleepers in their latest roundtable, just in case you're looking for a place to start.
