The tight end position is complicated and after a few top guys — like Brock Bowers and Trey McBride — there appear to be quite a bit of parity and question marks.

Here's one more tool: If your tight end is more touchdown-dependent rather than catch volume, you might want to nab a player who gets a lot of opportunities in the red zone.
| TE (team) | Red zone targets | TD |
| Travis Kelce (KC) | 26 | 3 |
| George Kittle (SF) | 21 | 8 |
| Trey McBride (ARI) | 21 | 1 |
| Sam LaPorta (DET) | 19 | 5 |
| Hunter Henry (NE) | 19 | 2 |
| Zack Ertz (WAS) | 18 | 6 |
| Cade Otton (TB) | 16 | 4 |
| Mark Andrews (BAL) | 15 | 10 |
| Tucker Kraft (GB) | 15 | 6 |
| Jonnu Smith (MIA) | 14 | 6 |
