The 2023 season saw a decline in overall offensive production but featured a standout rookie tight end, Sam LaPorta. Other rookies like Dalton Kincaid and Luke Musgrave also showed promise, while seven tight ends reached triple-digit targets. The position looks stronger than ever, especially with the emergence of Travis Kelce and T.J. Hockenson. The incoming rookie class, led by Brock Bowers, has the potential to continue the trend of rookie tight ends making an impact.

Several tight ends are recovering from injuries, including T.J. Hockenson, Michael Mayer, and Hunter Henry. There is also a list of free agents, holdout candidates, and potential cap casualties to watch out for in the offseason.

Overall, the tight end position is evolving and becoming more significant in fantasy football.
