2026 Rest of Season Fantasy Football TE Rankings

Rest of season rankings rank players based on their expected fantasy value from the current week through the end of the fantasy season. Unlike draft rankings, they account for what has already happened during the season, including current roles, injuries, usage and team situations.

The top tier of each position board is the board's answer, and as of September 20, 2026 11:30am ET that tier is Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Drake Maye and Caleb Williams at quarterback, Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, James Cook and Jonathan Taylor at running back, Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Amon-Ra St. Brown at wide receiver and Trey McBride, Brock Bowers and Colston Loveland at tight end. Ranks here are positional rather than overall, so QB1 and RB1 are both rank 1 and the side-by-side view is not claiming the two are worth the same. Within a tier the players are close enough that the gap to the tier below matters more than the order inside it.

The rankings are updated throughout the NFL season as player roles, injuries, usage, performance and team situations change. This board was last updated September 20, 2026 11:30am ET.

Rest of season rankings evaluate a player's value over the remaining fantasy season. Weekly rankings focus only on the player's upcoming matchup and expected production for that specific week.

Rest of season rankings measure expected fantasy production and usefulness over the remaining season. Trade value can also reflect positional scarcity, roster construction, market demand and the value fantasy managers place on acquiring a particular player.

Rest of season rankings are useful for comparing how players are expected to perform over the remainder of the year, making them a helpful starting point for trade decisions. League settings, roster needs, depth and positional scarcity should also be considered before making a trade.

These rankings do not publish a buy list, but the tiers point at one. The most useful targets are usually the players at the top of a tier, who are often priced like the tier beneath them and ranked with the group above, and players whose role has grown since draft day so that their current rank sits well above where they were drafted. On this board that means the top of tier 2 - Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels at quarterback, Christian McCaffrey and Chase Brown at running back, CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson at wide receiver and Tyler Warren and Sam LaPorta at tight end - where the distance to tier 1 is smaller than the difference in what the two tiers cost. Roster needs, depth, league size and scoring settings still decide whether a given trade is worth making.

Yes. The boards run past starter depth - 40 quarterbacks, 50 running backs, 100 wide receivers and 40 tight ends - so a free agent and the player he would replace usually both appear on the same board, and the tier each sits in is the comparison. A player who has lost his role falls down the board or off it entirely, which is the drop case; a player whose usage has grown is ranked where that usage puts him rather than where he was drafted, which is the add case. Bye weeks, injuries and the rest of your roster still decide which move is right for your team.

Injuries are considered when estimating a player's remaining-season value. Expected missed time, current injury status and the player's projected role after returning can all affect where a player ranks.

These rankings are published in PPR only, so PPR is the one live option in the format row. Standard and Half PPR are shown there as unavailable rather than as controls that would not change the order, because there is no separate board behind them. Receptions are worth the same on every row of this page, and a Standard or Half PPR board would appear in that row if one were published.
