2026 Fantasy Football ADP Risers and Fallers: Tight Ends

2026 Fantasy Football TE Fallers

Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens

After posting 48 receptions for 422 yards and five touchdowns in 2025, fantasy gamers are expecting a continued decline from Andrews' peak fantasy seasons. Isaiah Likely's departure implies greater security, but Andrews' age, reduced efficiency, and growing reliance on touchdowns have pushed him down to TE15. That could prove to be a bargain if he has a rebound performance left in the tank.

Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints

Johnson produced career highs with 77 catches and 889 yards at age 29, making some regression likely after a late-career breakout. New Orleans also added Noah Fant and first-round wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, creating enough additional target competition to make his TE16 ADP less appealing. If Tyson's recent hamstring injury lingers, perhaps Johnson continues where he left off.

Hunter Henry, New England Patriots

Henry turned 60 grabs into 768 yards and seven scores last season, but New England has since added A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs to create a deeper receiving corps with more competition for touches. Henry's connection with Drake Maye preserves some semblance of weekly utility, though he should be treated as a matchup-based tight end.

Chig Okonkwo, Washington Commanders

Washington's addition of Stefon Diggs creates another major source of target competition for Okonkwo alongside Terry McLaurin. Okonkwo's path to consistent volume has narrowed considerably, making his potential for a breakthrough less appealing. A TE21 ADP makes Chig at least a low-cost flier for best-ball settings.

Kenyon Sadiq, New York Jets

Sadiq suffered a setback in his recovery from May hernia surgery after participating in only three training camp practices. The Jets still expect the first-round rookie to return for the regular season, but the additional missed time clouds his early-career fantasy offerings.

Ja'Tavion Sanders, Carolina Panthers

Sanders' fantasy value took a major hit when Carolina signed Darren Waller. Sanders previously had a clear opportunity to lead the Panthers' tight ends in receiving work, but Waller now stands between him and a fantasy-relevant role, helping push Sanders down to TE69.
