Dynasty Draft Advice: Picks Experts Love to Target

Tight Ends to Draft

Tucker Kraft (GB)

Kraft broke out in 2024 leading all tight ends in yards after the catch per reception (8.8) with an eye-popping 15 missed tackles. The Packers tight end ran away with the starting job over Luke Musgrave and never looked back finishing as the TE8 overall and 10th in points per game (8.3). He ran a route on 73% of the dropbacks (7th-most).

The Packers passing game never fully got unlocked with Jordan Love constantly banged up, but this receiving corps is wide open for somebody to step up. Especially with Christian Watson suffering a torn ACL injury late in the year.

Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed at the end of the season -100%- that Kraft has the potential to be a George Kittle or Travis Kelce type of player.

I might have already found “my guy” for tight ends in 2025.

Kyle Pitts (ATL)

A great many fantasy managers have vowed to never again roster Kyle Pitts, as the young tight end has repeatedly failed to meet expectations. The fourth overall pick of the 2021 draft, Pitts played his first NFL game at age 20 and became the first rookie TE to have a 1,000-yard receiving season since Mike Ditka 60 years earlier. But after finishing TE6 in PPR fantasy scoring as a rookie, Pitts hasn’t finished as a top-12 fantasy tight end in any of the last three years. He had 47 catches for 602 yards and a career-high four touchdowns last year. Pitts is still only 24, so there may be hope for him yet. Pitts had to acclimate to new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson’s system last year, and Falcons QB Kirk Cousins was a disappointment. Perhaps there’s hope for Pitts now that he has greater familiarity with the system and will be playing with talented young QB Michael Penix Jr.

Elijah Arroyo (SEA)

Arroyo is headed to Seattle after the team called his name in the second round of the NFL Draft. The former Miami Hurricane is an athletic mismatch weapon who will push Noah Fant for snaps from the jump if his blocking is up to snuff. Fant is an unrestricted free agent after this season, so while the outlook for 2025 has its worries, it should be wheels up for Arroyo in 2026. If Copper Kupp also proves in 2025 that he doesn’t have much left in the tank, Kupp could be gone, which would leave Arroyo as the second target in the passing attack behind only Jaxon Smith-Njigba. In his final season in college, Arroyo ranked 23rd in yards per route run and second in yards after the catch per reception among tight ends (minimum 20 targets, per PFF). Arroyo is a late second-round selection in dynasty rookie drafts that will occasionally fall into the third round.
