Tight Ends

4 of 6

The leaderboard at the tight end position after three weeks is a perfect analogy for the position as a whole this season—because it looks nothing like we expected it to.

The leader in the clubhouse after three games? Jake Ferguson of the Dallas Cowboys, who was the 15th tight end drafted on average this year. In second place is Juwan Johnson of the New Orleans Saints, who was undrafted in the majority of fantasy leagues. He’s followed by Hunter Henry of the New England Patriots, who was a late-round dart-throw at best.

Will that hold throughout the season? Probably not. But it’s enough to give fantasy managers a migraine—unless you fell over backwards into one of these surprise starters.

Some days it’s better to be lucky than good.

Week 4 Tight End Rankings

2025 Fantasy Football Rankings powered by FantasyProsECR â„¢ – Expert Consensus Rankings

Players to Watch in Week 4

Jake Ferguson, Dallas Cowboys (vs. GB) [DraftKings DFS Value: $4,300]

With CeeDee Lamb out for multiple games, Ferguson should see an increased target share moving forward. That should equate to solid stats Sunday night against a Packers defense allowing the sixth-most PPR points to tight ends in 2025.

Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs (vs. BAL) [DraftKings DFS Value: $4,800]

After a quiet game against the New York Giants, Kelce ranks outside the top-10 for the season. But he should receive a hefty target share Sunday in a must-win game against a Ravens defense that has been lousy this year.

Players to Avoid in Week 4

Zach Ertz, Washington Commanders (at ATL) [DraftKings DFS Value: $4,100]

Ertz has been productive this year for fantasy managers—he’s seventh in PPR points among tight ends to this point in the season. But the veteran is coming off his worst game of the season and draws a Falcons team in Week 4 giving up the fewest PPR points to tight ends this year.

Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles (at TB) [DraftKings DFS Value: $3,900]

Goedert caught just one pass in last week’s win over the Los Angeles Rams, but that lone-catch was a 33-yard touchdown. The Buccaneers have been stingy to opposing tight ends this season, surrendering the sixth-fewest PPR points to the position.

Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars (at SF) [DraftKings DFS Value: $3,200]

Strange is lurking around the fringes of fantasy relevance, sitting at 15th in fantasy points among tight ends after three games. The 49ers are fifth in the league in pass defense, but they have been kinder to tight ends than wide receivers three weeks in.
