NFL Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) Rankings

2026 Tight End Projections

What is Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) Rankings?
VORP measures player values by looking at each player’s fantasy points compared to the points of a “replacement player” at the same position that could be picked up off the waiver wire. Anyone with a VORP of 0 is a player that would typically not be on a fantasy roster. Check out our Value-Based Drafting Guide for more VORP info.
