The 2025 Season is in the books. For dynasty players, it’s a time to sit back, take stock, and see how players fared. Over the next couple of months, I’ll be looking back at the 2025, 2024, and 2023 classes by position. I’ll be evaluating if their stock rose, remained the same, or dropped over the course of the season. Now could be the time to sell high, buy low, or hold on to a winning hand. Today, I continue with the Tight Ends from the draft class of 2024.
Stock Up
A.J. Barner, Seattle Seahawks
About: The Seahawks moved on from Noah Fant at the start of the 2025 season. It seemed at the time it was a nod toward rookie Elijah Arroyo. Instead, it was second-year man Barner that took a big step up. He finished with 52 receptions for 519 yards and six touchdowns. Barner was a key part of the pass offense in the playoffs and Super Bowl, too. He could continue to ascend despite a crowded pass-catching group. He’s got TE2 appeal with upside.
Stock Neutral
Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders
About: Bowers is the best tight end in the class and one of the best tight ends in the league. So, why only neutral? Well, there wasn’t really anywhere for Bowers to go up to from his stellar rookie year. He also struggled with injuries during the 2025 season. He’s now facing a new quarterback—likely a rookie—and a new scheme. He’s still a Top 2 guy at the tight end position in Dynasty. But, again, that value hasn’t shifted.
Stock Down
Ben Sinnott, Washington Commanders
About: Sinnott was the second tight end off the board, but he hasn’t had a role so far in Washington. Even after Zach Ertz was lost for the season in 2025, Sinnott didn’t find much traction. He has just 16 receptions total in two seasons, including just 11 receptions in 2025. Now, the Commanders have inked Chig Okonkwo to a three-year deal. It’s hard to see how Sinnott has any clear path to targets. I’m not even sure he’s worth a roster spot.
Ja’Tavion Sanders, Carolina Panthers
About: Sanders is another player who seemed to have potential and opportunity in his landing spot. But though the Panthers improved as a team in 2025, Sanders regressed. He had fewer receptions and a lot less yardage. He has an unclear role and an unclear path to targets. He’s still a deep league stash thanks to the potential in Carolina, but I wouldn’t count on him.
Theo Johnson, New York Giants
About: Johnson showed some flashes in his second season in an emerging offense. That, combined with Daniel Bellinger heading to Tennessee, gave me some hope. Then the Giants signed Isaiah Likely to a three-year deal. Likely is on track to be the starter and a focal point of the passing offense. That leaves Johnson with an unclear role and an uncertain path to targets. He’s still a deep league stash, especially since John Harbaugh used multiple tight ends in Baltimore, but there’s little guarantee he’ll be a lineup consideration.
Cade Stover, Houston Texans
About: Stover was an interesting selection for an interesting offense. But through two seasons, he has just 27 receptions. He’s buried on the depth chart for a team that has a lot of passing options and a lower passing volume. He’s not worth a roster spot.
