Key Takeaways for Dynasty Fantasy Football Tight End Strategy (2025)
In this video, we break down part three of our 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football plan, focusing on tight ends in Superflex leagues with 1.75 PPR for tight ends. Here's how to approach the position strategically:
Trading for Tight Ends
Valuing Brock Bowers: As a top 15 startup pick, Bowers is a cornerstone asset. If you trade him, ensure you receive significant value, such as multiple picks or elite players like Garrett Wilson.
Dalton Kincaid's Market: Kincaid’s value is declining due to underwhelming production, but he still has trade appeal in the right deal. Consider flipping him for a first or packaging him to upgrade elsewhere.
Creative Trade Approaches: Look to leverage tight end depth for players or picks. For example, trading Kincaid and a future first for George Kittle may provide immediate production at a lower cost.
Tight End Production Insights
Elite Tight Ends: Only a handful of tight ends consistently outscore the median in production. These include Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, and George Kittle.
Tier Gaps: The difference between tight ends ranked 8-18 and those outside the top 20 is minimal. Prioritize finding value rather than overpaying for mid-tier options.
Production vs. Perception: Tight ends like Dalton Kincaid often have inflated value due to draft pedigree or team situation. Focus on actual production rather than potential.
Roster Construction Tips
Optimal Tight End Room: Aim for one elite tight end ("hammer") and a mix of threshold tight ends who can offer spike weeks. Avoid paying premium prices for mid-tier options.
Dumpster Diving for Value: Players like Mike Gesicki, Hunter Henry, or low-cost rookies can provide similar production to pricier options at a fraction of the cost.
Cross-Position Comparisons: Consider trading overrated wide receivers (e.g., Jalen Waddle) for productive tight ends, gaining flexibility and extra draft capital.
