Tier 1: Brock Bowers (TE1)
First-tier tight ends provide a huge head-to-head advantage every week in season-long leagues. They are focal points of their passing games and can score like fantasy WR1s.
Before his injury-inhibited sophomore campaign, Brock Bowers finished third in the NFL in receptions as a 2024 rookie (112) behind only Ja’Marr Chase and Amon-Ra St. Brown. New Raiders HC Klint Kubiak built the Super Bowl champion Seahawks’ 2025 passing game around one player (Jaxon Smith-Njigba), and I think Kubiak can do the same with Bowers.
I’m taking Jahmyr Gibbs first overall in every fantasy format. In tight end-premium scoring leagues (e.g., FFPC), I’m seriously considering Bowers at No. 2 overall.
Tier 2: Colston Loveland (TE2) > Trey McBride (TE3)
Second-tier tight ends would be right alongside Bowers in the first tier if he wasn’t set up so well for a generational season. These Tier 2 guys belong in the first four rounds of all drafts — regardless of format — and are legit first-rounders in tight end premium.
