Dynasty Rookie Rankings (2023 Fantasy Football)
Check out Derek Brown’s dynasty rookie rankings and tiers for tight ends.
Dynasty Rookie Rankings & Tiers
Tier 1
Analysis: Kincaid was the only tight end selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. He could possibly emerge as the number two option in the Bills’ passing game in his rookie season. LaPorta didn’t go in the first round, but he enters a push-over depth chart in Detroit where he can be the full-time starter from Day 1. LaPorta could be the second option in the passing attack until Jameson Williams returns from suspension in his first year. LaPorta has the high-end pass-catching chops and athleticism to be one of the best tight ends in fantasy.
Tier 2
Analysis: Mayer slipped to round two of the NFL Draft, but that doesn’t hurt his dynasty outlook. His questionable athleticism is why he finds himself in Tier 2 behind Kincaid and LaPorta. Mayer could be a part-time player in his first year as a Raider, as the team also has snooze fest veteran Austin Hooper on the roster. Does it make sense for the Raiders to play Hooper ahead of Mayer? No, that’s exactly why I can see Josh McDaniels doing it.
Tier 3
Analysis: Kraft and Schoonmaker are physical specimens. Each player will enter the NFL as an average run-blocking option, which could carve out full-time roles in Year 1. Kraft has a higher ceiling than Schoonmaker due to his athleticism, but they could see similar target shares in 2023. Strange was a surprise as a second-round pick in the NFL Draft, but it’s easy to see why Jacksonville is high on him. Strange is a strong run blocker that still has some growth to make at the next level as a receiver. While Strange doesn’t have an elite upside profile, he could evolve into a consistent low-end TE1 in fantasy if everything breaks right.
Tier 4
Analysis: Washington will contribute more as a run blocker than a receiver in Pittsburgh, with Pat Freiermuth locked into the receiving game heavy lifting. Washington slipped in the NFL Draft due to injury worries. His star has dimmed considerably since his otherworldly combine performance. Musgrave is a run-blocking eye sore. He has the raw athleticism to become a low-end TE1 based on volume. Musgrave is a raw underwear Olympics champion who could be a bust if he never puts it all together. Musgrave doesn’t break tackles or create YAC commiserate with his workout numbers, but he can stretch the seam and create explosive plays downfield.
