Outlook T.J. Hockenson

Drafting a Proven Tight End Value with Underappreciated Volume Upside

Hockenson anchors the Minnesota tight end room as the clear top option ahead of Josh Oliver. He shares targets in a pass-catching group featuring Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. We project him to bounce back with 64 receptions for 569 yards and 3 touchdowns on 79 targets this season.

After a quieter 2025 campaign where he posted 457 receiving yards, Hockenson's fantasy footprint is currently a bit of a sleeper story, with only 57% rostership and a 24% start rate. Our data suggests managers are letting his recent dip overshadow his top-tier target-earning ability.

His ADP is currently hovering in the late rounds around 156, presenting a significant draft-day value. His market cost is stubbornly stable in the 150s, making him a low-risk, high-reward investment relative to our 1.0 PPR expectations, where he can easily outpace his cost as a steady tight end option.

Outlook Dallas Goedert

Loyal Tight End Remains Philadelphia's Reliable Target and Late-Round Value Steal

After testing free agency, Goedert returned to Philadelphia, calling it his best opportunity. At age 31, he remains the secure starting tight end, serving as a highly trusted short-to-intermediate option for Jalen Hurts alongside wideout DeVonta Smith.

Our models project Goedert to secure 64 receptions for 659 yards and six touchdowns, compiling 164.3 PPR fantasy points. This matches his high-floor career consistency, reinforced by last year's 11-touchdown campaign. Fantasy managers currently trust him, starting him in 83% of leagues.

Goedert's draft cost has risen from 135 in early May to a current ADP of 119. At this double-digit round price tag, our projections view him as an outstanding value play, allowing managers to wait on tight end and draft a reliable weekly starter.
