Fantasy Football Consistency Rankings – Tight Ends

This ranking considers tight ends that started at least 11 games in 2023. Fantasy points were derived using one point per 10 yards rushed or received, six-point touchdowns rushed and one point receptions. Given that the position supplies only around 10 players of any fantasy note, there aren’t a lot of surprises here.

T.J. Hockenson was the most consistent tight end in 2023. But his knee injury may force him to miss a sizable chunk of this season.  Mark Andrews broke his leg as well, but is expected back. David Njoku had few big games but was one of the most consistent tight ends and Sam LaPorta shattered what we expect from a rookie. Nine tight ends managed over 10 points in more than half of their games, so most fantasy teams should avoid from having the position as a liability.

Travis Kelce may have dropped last year, but he was still elite regardless. There’s consistency from year to year with upper-tier in the position because those players have proven to be a big part of their offense’s passing scheme.

A twenty-point game is a monster performance for this position and while George Kittle rated only No. 7 and Trey McBride No. 11 in ten point games, they were the only tight ends with four 20-point performances.  For McBride, the second-rounder from 2023 is only getting started in his career. Fellow rookie Sam LaPorta was even better, logging seven games with a touchdown when no other tight end had more than five.
