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 | 22.0 | 220.5 | 643 | 1088 | 2123 | 34 | McMillan has two straight years of 1,300+ yards and 8+ TDs. At a lanky 6’5 and 212 pounds, McMillan has an X WR skillset. He has great deep speed, but still has the footwork and route tree to freeze defenders. With long arms and a good catch radius, he has tremendous NFL and fantasy upside. | |||
2 | 1.08 | N/A | 22.5 | 193.6 | 595 | 996 | 1942 | 27 | Egbuka went back for his senior year to chase a National Championship and caught 70 passes for 896 yards and 10 TDs. He is an ideal NFL slot WR with a quick first step and clean routes to turn slants and drags into big gains. A potential PPR volume receiving option at the next level. | |||
3 | 1.07 | N/A | 21.3 | 177.1 | 574 | 981 | 1941 | 25 | Burden was a five-star recruit but never maximized his potential at Missouri. He tallied 1,212 receiving yards and 9 TDs as a sophomore but fell back to only 676 yards and 6 TDs this year as the entire offense regressed. Burden's 4.41 40-yard dash at the Combine was expected. If Burden shows he can do more than simple screens/quick hitters, he could play as a slot or flanker in the NFL. | |||
4 | 2.05 | N/A | 21.7 | 171.7 | 557 | 943 | 1813 | 21 | Golden was a surprising four-star commit to Houston where he showcased deep threat talent. Moving to Texas this past season unleashed his potential with 58 catches for 987 yards and nine TDs. He also was the fastest WR at the NFL Combine with a 4.29 40-yard dash. | |||
5 | 1.12 | N/A | 21.9 | 121.9 | 539 | 913 | 1756 | 19 | Hunter is an enigma for fantasy managers. A likely top-three NFL Draft pick, most NFL GMs have indicated that Hunter would be primarily a CB with 10-20 snaps on offense at receiver. If that is the case, the Heisman Winner won’t be a consistent fantasy scorer. But Hunter showed elite receiver ability last year, catching 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 TDs while also playing full-time on defense. If he does play as a primary WR, Hunter could be a...

6 | 2.12 | N/A | 21.8 | 142.3 | 493 | 835 | 1606 | 16 | A beacon of talent on an awful football team, Ayomanor sports perhaps the best body control in the class. He is built on highlight catches and physically boxing out defenders to keep position. The overall athleticism is there, but he struggles with concentration drops that will need cleaned up. He had a solid NFL Combine running a 4.44 40-yard dash, though he had the slowest 10-yard split among WRs at 1.58. | |||
7 | 2.04 | N/A | 23.1 | 140.4 | 480 | 798 | 1483 | 14 | Harris did all the dirty work for Mississippi, running from both the slot and outside with crisp routes and excellent catch technique. He is built on quickness more than speed, as his 4.54 40-yard dash time shows. He should contribute immediately in the NFL with a near-full route tree and 1,030 receiving yards in only eight games last year. | |||
8 | 4.03 | N/A | 22.3 | 136.8 | 471 | 797 | 1583 | 14 | Higgins represents the ideal X WR standing at 6'4 and 217 pounds. He is great at getting off the jam and contact; he caught 87 passes for 1,183 yards and 9 TDs this year. Higgins turned heads at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine, where he ran a 4.47 40-yard dash along with a 39" Vertical and 10'08 Broad Jump. He could develop into a WR1/2 for an NFL team. | |||
9 | 4.01 | N/A | 22.1 | 127.5 | 460 | 778 | 1496 | 13 | Royals will be the top G5 WR following Malachi Corley (2024) and Rashee Rice (2023). He has Rice's talent as a raw route runner whose athleticism and explosion do most of the work. Royals had 554 yards receiving and four TDs in his last three games combined. There's plenty of upside here, and day two draft capital is likely. | |||
10 | 2.07 | N/A | 21.1 | 121 | 446 | 762 | 1508 | 12 | Bond spent his first two years at Alabama -- where he broke out -- and then transferred to Texas. An injury-filled 2024 resulted in only 33 catches for 532 yards and 5 TDs. Despite never having a 700-yard receiving season, Bond’s athleticism makes him a potential NFL starter. He was expected to run in the 4.2s at the NFL Combine, but only mustered a 4.40. Bond is more risky than many other WR prospects in this class. | |||
11 | N/A | N/A | 22.6 | 110 | 424 | 718 | 1426 | 10 | Noel was the speed receiver for Iowa State, but he still caught 80 passes for 1,194 yards and eight TDs this year. He has pretty good bulk at 200 pounds to go with 4.4 type speed. He should settle into a deep-threat role. | |||
12 | 4.05 | N/A | 23.1 | 109.8 | 412 | 697 | 1334 | 9 | An LSU transfer to TCU, Bech led the Horned Frogs with 62 catches for 1,034 yards and nine TDs in 2024. He has good size with strong hands at the point of attack. After the catch, Bech works through contact well and turns small plays into bigger ones. He could sneak into day two of the draft. | |||
13 | 4.06 | N/A | 22.4 | 97.4 | 383 | 653 | 1272 | 6 | Horton was looking to follow-up his 1,136 receiving yard season from 2023 with a big 2024, but a knee injury cost him most of the season. A route technician who rarely gives away what type of route he is running, Horton was in-line to be a potential top-100 pick. Now, he likely falls, but could be a steal with the overall talent. | |||
14 | 5.03 | N/A | 22.4 | 93.3 | 365 | 617 | 1226 | 5 | Williams is a physical specimen at 6’5, 225 pounds and played a unique hybrid role for TCU playing both WR and RB throughout the season. He ended with 611 receiving yards and 322 rushing yards with 12 total TDs. These types of Swiss Army Knife players don’t always translate to the NFL, but Williams has the raw tools to be an exception. | |||
15 | 4.02 | N/A | 22.9 | 100.1 | 331 | 560 | 1057 | 2 | Johnson looked like an absolute stud in 2023 with 86 catches for 1,182 yards and 10 TDs. He outperformed Troy Franklin, running a more nuanced route tree and connecting with QB Bo Nix. Johnson took a step back in 2024, but he still led the team with 83 catches for 898 yards and 10 TDs. Small, thin, and fast, Johnson could hold a role similar to Xavier Worthy or Hollywood Brown. | |||
16 | 5.10 | N/A | 22.1 | 98.1 | 329 | 560 | 1092 | 2 | Felton is a long possession WR whose quickness in his routes is tough to cover. He caught 96 passes for 1,124 yards and nine TDs this year. He began the year with four straight 100-yard receiving games. If given the opportunity, he could be a solid volume WR in the NFL. | |||
17 | 3.02 | N/A | 23.0 | 101.3 | 301 | 511 | 963 | 0 | Restrepo tallied two straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons for Miami. His role in the NFL will likely be as a slot. With special teams ability as well, NFL teams could be intrigued by Restrepo as a weapon on Day 2.
| |||
18 | 5.12 | N/A | 22.3 | 82 | 243 | 414 | 807 | -5 | Bryant led the Illini with 54 catches for 984 yards and 10 TDs. A smart player who knows how to find a hole in zone coverage and pick up extra yardage after the catch, he should stick around the NFL for awhile. Though he likely doesn’t have NFL athleticism, the toughness and intelligence will be enough. | |||
19 | N/A | N/A | 23.5 | 64.8 | 202 | 342 | 644 | -8 | Smith spent most of his career as a one-trick deep threat pony. His deep speed will be an asset in the NFL, similar to Marques Valdes-Scantling. His skillset was expanded a bit on Georgia this past season, leading the team in receiving, but he is far from nuanced enough to be an instant starter in the pros. | |||
20 | N/A | N/A | 22.7 | 0 | 225 | 382 | 720 | -8 | Williams spent his first three seasons at UNLV before transferring to Washington State due to coaching changes. His 4.4 speed makes him a deep threat who specializes in corner and post routes. He did struggle at the Senior Bowl, but Williams should be a late round pick that can make a roster. | |||
