We're through the first week of preseason action, so it's time to update the tight end tiers. For Tiers 3.0, I'm only going to list the players in each tier with any potential changes.
You can see the full breakdown of each player by clicking on Tiers 1.0 here. You can also see the full list of Tiers 2.0 here. You can find 3.0 here. You can find 4.0 here.
And for context, this is based on PPR, as well as one point for every 10 yards rushing and receiving. Hopefully, these tiers can help with any draft decisions you have to make this year.
I moved Njoku to the top of this tier with Joe Flacco now the starting quarterback for the Browns. It could be a monster season for Njoku, who averaged 18.6 PPR points per game in five games with Flacco in 2023.
I moved Engram into this tier and moved Loveland down to Tier 5. Engram will hopefully be No. 2 on the Broncos in targets, and he's worth drafting as early as Round 9.
I dropped Loveland behind Andrews just with all the mouths to feed in Chicago. Eventually, Loveland should be a star, but it might take some time. He's worth drafting in Round 10, but you'll need to pair him with another tight end.
Ertz moved ahead of Goedert here, and Ertz should once again play a prominent role for the Commanders, especially if Terry McLaurin is limited to start the season because of missed practice time due to his contract.
Okonkwo moved into this tier, and he should play a prominent role for the Titans, potentially as the No. 2 option in the passing game behind Calvin Ridley.
I moved Arroyo down to this tier. It could take some time for the rookie tight end to make a Fantasy impact, so he's only worth a late-round flier in deeper leagues.
