The tight end landscape in fantasy football has shifted dramatically, with an influx of viable options emerging this season. Notably, Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, George Kittle, Jonnu Smith, Travis Kelce, and David Njoku established themselves as strong picks, while Mark Andrews and Sam LaPorta also climbed the rankings as the season progressed. However, several prominent tight ends fell short of expectations and are facing a significant decline in their draft stock for the upcoming season.

Among the most disappointing performers, Dalton Kincaid, expected to thrive amid the Buffalo Bills’ restructuring, registered as the TE30 after being drafted as TE5. Injuries hindered Evan Engram, who played only nine games and finished as TE33. Kyle Pitts continued his downward trend with a TE14 finish, while Jake Ferguson saw his production plummet following Dak Prescott's injury, ending up as TE25. As we head into the fantasy playoffs, these tight ends have cast doubt on their future value.
