Off-the-cuff opinions from random guys on the internet are not the best foundation for creating TE Premium Superflex 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 | 1.02 | N/A | 24.3 | 383 | 1123 | 1828 | 3279 | 100 | Daniels proved pro-ready, throwing for 3,568 yards, 25 TDs, and 9 INTs on a 69% completion rate. His 891 rushing yards ranked second among QBs. Washington added useful pieces this offseason, including WR Deebo Samuel and LT Laremy Tunsil.
| |||
2 | 1.01 | N/A | 28.9 | 377.7 | 1074 | 1757 | 3406 | 96 | Allen wrapped up 2024 with 3,731 yards, 28 TDs, and 6 INTs in 16 games. He remained excellent on the ground with 531 yards and 12 TDs. Only 29 ahead of next season, Allen’s elite run should continue for the foreseeable future. | |||
3 | 1.03 | N/A | 28.3 | 382.5 | 1085 | 1768 | 3190 | 93 | Jackson posted an MVP-caliber performance in 2024, resulting in a career-high 488 fantasy points. He’s under contract through the 2028 season. | |||
4 | 1.04 | N/A | 25.1 | 350 | 1042 | 1704 | 3210 | 82 | 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. | |||
5 | 1.07 | N/A | 25.8 | 315.8 | 1000 | 1623 | 2973 | 75 | 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. | |||
6 | 2.01 | N/A | 26.0 | 339.5 | 985 | 1596 | 2948 | 74 | 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. | |||
7 | 1.12 | N/A | 21.7 | 301.8 | 924 | 1578 | 3177 | 72 | 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. | |||
8 | 1.09 | N/A | 29.6 | 332.6 | 981 | 1602 | 3103 | 71 | Mahomes posted relatively underwhelming production in 2024. A declining Travis Kelce, the absence of Marquise Brown, and only a partial season from DeAndre Hopkins certainly played a role. The Chiefs need to figure out their LT spot as well. Of course, Mahomes’ raw talent keeps him on the fringe of the top-five. He’s under contract through the 2031 season. | |||
9 | 1.05 | N/A | 28.3 | 368.1 | 957 | 1573 | 3044 | 70 | Burrow performed as a high-end QB1 in 2024. He was also one of the offseason winners, as Cincy retained WRs Ja’Marr Chase AND Tee Higgins on long-term deals. At only 28, Burrow should have multiple years of top-8 production remaining. | |||
10 | 2.03 | N/A | 23.9 | 318.1 | 950 | 1555 | 2909 | 70 | 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. | |||
11 | 1.10 | N/A | 23.2 | 327.3 | 889 | 1408 | 2267 | 65 | 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. | |||
12 | 1.06 | N/A | 26.7 | 378.2 | 1012 | 1586 | 2600 | 65 | The Eagles signed Hurts to a five-year extension in April, 2023. In 2024, his passing production took a step back after a career-best 2023. Still, he hit 10+ rushing TDs for the fourth straight year. Rushing should continue boosting Hurts' fantasy value for at least the next couple of seasons. | |||
13 | 2.05 | N/A | 27.1 | 321.6 | 949 | 1556 | 3029 | 64 | Alongside new HC Jim Harbaugh, WR Ladd McConkey, and LT Joe Alt, Herbert played excellent real-life ball in 2024. However, he finished as a QB1 in only five of 17 games. Pass-catching depth remains an issue here after the team swapped out Josh Palmer for Mike Wiliams. | |||
14 | 2.04 | N/A | 22.5 | 300.2 | 869 | 1472 | 2872 | 64 | 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. | |||
15 | 2.08 | N/A | 21.3 | 279.1 | 833 | 1390 | 2537 | 64 | 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. | |||
16 | 2.09 | N/A | 23.4 | 308 | 921 | 1549 | 3025 | 60 | Williams showed the ability to make high-end throws as a rookie. But his tendency to hold the ball and take sacks led to a wildly inconsistent campaign. It’s far too early to give up on him as a potential high-end QB1, especially after the arrival of new HC Ben Johnson. | |||
17 | 3.03 | N/A | 25.1 | 320.2 | 936 | 1532 | 2896 | 59 | An older prospect at 24, Nix proved pro-ready alongside HC Sean Payton. Across 17 games, he tallied 3,775-29-12 -- plus 430-4 rushing. This offseason brought the arrival of veteran TE Evan Engram. | |||
18 | 2.10 | N/A | 22.6 | 305.8 | 898 | 1532 | 3093 | 59 | Well-built at 6’4, 230, Maye showed he could make any throw on the field as a rookie. Clearly, he needs an upgraded supporting cast to flourish in fantasy, but that should arrive in time. New England’s added O-line talent in free agency, and they’re a lock to grab at least one pass catcher in the draft. | |||
19 | 1.11 | N/A | 23.1 | 297.5 | 820 | 1321 | 2201 | 59 | 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. | |||
20 | 1.08 | N/A | 22.3 | 323.3 | 883 | 1451 | 2643 | 57 | 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. | |||
