Nathan Jahnke· Aug 5, 2026
A PFF fantasy piece names Colston Loveland, Dalton Kincaid and Chig Okonkwo as tight ends poised for career-best seasons and good values at their current ADPs, with Kincaid seen as a top-12 fantasy tight end if healthy and Okonkwo as a low-end TE2 with TE1 upside.
“These three tight ends are well-positioned for career-best seasons, making them excellent values at their current ADP.”
