Off-the-cuff opinions from random guys on the internet are not the best foundation for creating TE Premium Rankings. You wouldn’t buy a house with a cracked or leaking basement, would you? No! The foundation for anything is critical.
At Draft Sharks, our Dynasty Rankings are based on data—a lot of it. We start with a player's baseline, a weighted average of this year’s projection, and their last two seasons. Then we use 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year fantasy forecasted output. This isn't guesswork. Our process has been built using machine learning for all NFL data since 1999. We determine this output using scientifically-sound performance aging curves and retirement rates. And these numbers are specific to both positional groups and archetypes of players. These are the smartest fantasy football projections on the market. Period.
3D values+ then apply a weighted average of those 1-,3-,5- and 10-year projections and a cross-positional algorithm based on your exact league setup and scoring. The results are an unparalleled single (true) value you can use universally on the site. That means you can use these values for ranking in the preseason, regular season, and trade valuations.
Ready to go for the gold? In the Draft War Room you can adjust the weighting even heavier toward year-one projection in "Win Now" mode.
Player | ADP | Bye | Age | 1yr. Proj | 3yr. Proj | 5yr. Proj | 10yr. Proj | 3D Value+ | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1.03 | N/A | 25.1 | 350 | 1042 | 1704 | 3210 | 100 | Chase became only the fifth WR ever to win the triple crown in the Super Bowl era, leading the league in receptions, yards and TDs. He outscored Justin Jefferson (the WR2 on the season) by more than four PPR points per game in 2024. It is unlikely that Chase can repeat such a performance in 2025 (or beyond) but he certainly has the talent. | |||
2 | 1.01 | N/A | 25.8 | 315.8 | 1000 | 1623 | 2973 | 91 | Jefferson ended 2024 as the PPR WR2, notchign his fifth straight 1,000+ yard season to start his career. With Sam Darnold’s emergence, Jefferson was able to catch 10 TDs, matching his career high. He went for 100+ catches for the third time in his career. Jefferson should continue to flourish alongside young QB J.J. McCarthy. | |||
3 | 1.02 | N/A | 26.0 | 339.5 | 985 | 1596 | 2948 | 90 | Even with QB Dak Prescott missing most of 2024, Lamb ended the year as the PPR WR5. Lamb had double-digit targets in six of his nine games and was a WR2 or better in those six. The high volume of targets should continue with Lamb under contract through 2028. | |||
4 | 2.08 | N/A | 21.7 | 299.8 | 924 | 1578 | 3177 | 88 | Despite having Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, and Tommy DeVito, Nabers ended 2024 as the PPR WR7 in points per game. This included five weeks as a top-10 scorer at the position. He commands volume and showcases a complex route tree from short screens to deep routes. He's a star in the making if the Giants can find a QB. | |||
5 | 1.11 | N/A | 23.8 | 318.1 | 950 | 1555 | 2909 | 86 | Nacua dealt with knee issues in the preseason and early in 2024. Still, he ended six of his 10 full games as a top-20 PPR WR. He should retain the target lead in the short term, even after the arrival of WR Davante Adams. We'll also see how L.A. approaches the QB spot with Matthew Stafford entering his age 37 season. | |||
6 | 1.06 | N/A | 23.2 | 327.3 | 889 | 1408 | 2267 | 79 | Robinson profiled as the best RB prospect since Saquon Barkley. Thickly built and explosive, the Texas product simply never earned a consistent role under HC Arthur Smith. With Smith out of town, Robinson's production exploded to 1,881 total yards and 15 TDs in 2024. He's on track to remain a clear RB1 for the forseeable future. | |||
7 | 7.05 | N/A | 22.5 | 300.2 | 869 | 1472 | 2872 | 78 | Thomas Jr. surprised almost everyone by having an incredible rookie season, even when Mac Jones came in at QB. He ended the season as the PPR WR4 with five weeks as a top-10 WR. With a new coach and OC coming in, Thomas should be the de facto top option with hopefully an even better offensive system. | |||
8 | 31.11 | N/A | 21.3 | 279.1 | 833 | 1390 | 2537 | 78 | Jeanty went from a 1,900 total yard sophomore season to a 2,700 total yard junior season. He boasts elite contact balance and works through contact as well as any prospect since Bijan Robinson. Jeanty showed high-end receiving ability in his second year, too. He should be a top-20 NFL Draft pick and an instant fantasy RB1. | |||
9 | 1.10 | N/A | 23.0 | 297.5 | 820 | 1321 | 2201 | 72 | Despite a slow start, Gibbs largely delivered as a rookie RB. He averaged 5.2 YPC and popped in 10 TDs on 182 attempts, adding 52 receptions. His production reached new heights in 2024, and he proved more than capable as a workhorse back following a late-season injury to David Montgomery. Only 23, Gibbs shouldn't slow down any time soon. | |||
10 | 4.09 | N/A | 22.3 | 323.3 | 883 | 1451 | 2643 | 69 | Bowers lived up to the hype, setting the all-time rookie receptions record with 110 along with the rookie TE receiving yards record with 1,194. Doing all of that on one of the worst offenses in the NFL is tremendously impressive. He is a valuable dynasty asset and should be a high-end TE1 for his entire career, no matter the QB. | |||
11 | 3.12 | N/A | 26.0 | 315.9 | 831 | 1346 | 2488 | 69 | A hamstring injury knocked Collins out for part of 2024, but he was still the PPR WR8 in points per game. And that was despite a down year for the Texans' passing game. Collins has now shown two years of top production and is under contract through 2027. | |||
12 | 1.05 | N/A | 25.4 | 279.3 | 816 | 1317 | 2300 | 63 | The Lions' offensive explosion favored St. Brown once again as he ended the season the PPR WR5 in points per game. It was boom-or-bust weekly with six WR1 weeks, but also five weeks at WR3 or worse. We don't love the loss of top OC Ben Johnson -- but St. Brown's volume should stick around going forward. | |||
13 | 4.01 | N/A | 25.4 | 319.6 | 845 | 1356 | 2362 | 63 | McBride was the PPR TE3 for the 2024 season, and this was despite not scoring a receiving TD until Week 17. His 147 targets and 111 catches were enough to carry him in PPR leagues, and there should be some positive TD regression coming. McBride’s talent and Kyler Murray’s willingness to lock onto him should keep McBride as a top dynasty TE going forward. | |||
14 | 1.07 | N/A | 23.8 | 261.5 | 735 | 1189 | 2102 | 62 | The 36th overall pick, Hall looked to be on his way to an excellent rookie year. Then came an ACL tear in Week 7. Only 22, the Iowa State product returned for Week 1, 2023, proving both durable and effective in a tough situation. A largely ineffective Aaron Rodgers limited Hall this past fall, while the RB also battled through a knee injury. 2025 turns up a contract year. | |||
15 | 2.05 | N/A | 28.1 | 329.6 | 746 | 1147 | 1891 | 62 | Barkley hit as our 2022 Comeback Pick. 2023 turned up an ugly QB situation and poor efficiency on strong volume. Barkley expressed interest in returning to New York but ultimately joined a superior environment in Philly. From there, he enjoyed a historic 2024 with 2,005 yards and 15 total TDs. Another 1-2 seasons of top-end RB1 production are reasonable. | |||
16 | 3.02 | N/A | 23.5 | 289.7 | 749 | 1177 | 1936 | 61 | Achane's rushing efficiency hit a snag in year two. But his receiving work went through the roof: 78 catches, 592 yards, and 6 TDs. Another RB1 season is in play for 2025, although we'll see if Miami looks to work in more of second-year RB Jaylen Wright. | |||
17 | 2.12 | N/A | 23.7 | 284.4 | 755 | 1259 | 2417 | 60 | London certainly saw a resurgence under OC Zac Robinson, but QB Kirk Cousins' regression still limited the ceiling. After Michael Penix took over, London averaged 13 targets per game, so the future could be very bright. Despite the tribulations, London ended 2024 as the PPR WR10. | |||
18 | 6.10 | N/A | 23.4 | 259.8 | 769 | 1280 | 2377 | 60 | McConkey exceeded expectations and ended 2024 as the PPR WR12 overall. He played through knee and toe injuries throughout the season, missing only one game of his rookie season. McConkey had three top-10 WR performances during the season. The Chargers low pass rate limited his ceiling at times, but McConkey appears locked in as Justin Herbert’s top target for the future. | |||
19 | 1.04 | N/A | 28.8 | 323.9 | 755 | 1085 | 1738 | 58 | CMC was excellent in 2023, finishing as the clear-cut RB1. Then came a nightmare 2024 that included multiple lower-body injuries (and only 50 total carries). He'll be a rebound candidate in 2025 -- but durability concerns figure to remain for the 29-year-old. | |||
20 | 2.01 | N/A | 27.8 | 280 | 756 | 1212 | 2154 | 56 | Brown missed a few weeks in 2024 due to a hamstring injury and had to deal with an Eagles offense that shifted to the run, but he still ended as the PPR WR13 in points per game. He’s entering his 28-year old season, and his contract runs through 2029. | |||
