2025 Dynasty Rookie Draft: Top Tight Ends (Fantasy Football)

With the 2024 fantasy football season officially behind us, the dynasty community has begun to shift its focus to the incoming NFL Draft class as they prepare for upcoming rookie drafts. Dominating your dynasty rookie drafts is the most cost-effective way to increase roster value and create a contender with some real longevity. Here are a few of the top Tight Ends in 2025 dynasty fantasy football rookie drafts.

2025 Dynasty Rookie Draft Picks: Tight Ends

In this article, I’ll cover the top prospects who have a shot at being drafted in round one of the 2025 NFL Draft and should be valued highest in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Many prospects still have yet to decide whether they will declare for the draft or return to college football next season, so this list may look a bit different in the coming months.

For now, this should give you a good idea of who to target early in your rookie drafts, as well as where the strengths and weaknesses of this class lie.

Tight End

Tyler Warren (TE Penn State)

I’ve had Michigan tight end Colston Loveland as my rookie TE1 for a while, but I think it’s time to make a change. Penn State tight end and John Mackey Award winner Tyler Warren has shown enough this season to warrant being a first-round lock and the top tight end in dynasty rookie drafts.

Warren is more of your prototypical tight end who can play in-line and hang with the big boys but also has the natural pass-catching ability and athleticism to pour on the fantasy points. Warren will be a top-10 dynasty tight end from Day 1.

Colston Loveland (TE – Michigan)

Colston Loveland’s raw numbers in 2024 may not blow you away, but from a per-route perspective, he was elite. According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Colston saw an absurd 37.6% target rate this season. For reference, anything above 30% is an incredible mark for a wide receiver, let alone a tight end.

Colston finished with 2.67 yards per route run and a drop rate under 4%. On top of this, Loveland is a willing and capable blocker, which NFL scouts will love. I think Loveland is nearly a lock to go in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft and should be considered a top-10 rookie prospect in Superflex Tight End-Premium formats.
