Sean Koerner — Fantasy Pros’ 4x Most Accurate Fantasy Football Ranker — breaks down his 2024 TE tiers and rankings for Best Ball drafts.
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve broken down my initial 2024 fantasy football tiers for Best Ball, starting with quarterbacks and wide receivers. This week, it’s time to take a look at 2024 tight ends.
I like doing it this away, in the summer months after the draft, because I think it’s key to start position by position and identify value within a position before forming my overall draft strategy.
Again, I’ll be referencing Best Ball Points Added, a fantasy football metric that highlights high-variance fantasy football values specifically for Best Ball formats.
While much of the analysis below is catered to Best Ball, I also recommend using these tiers for your redraft leagues. You can stay on top of all my changes during the preseason by comparing these to my updated fantasy football rankings, which you can find here.

Fantasy Football TE Tiers
Tier 1
- Sam LaPorta
- Travis Kelce
Travis Kelce has shown signs of slowing down as he turns 35 later this season, but still managed to lead the position with 6.3 BBPA/g a year ago. Sam LaPorta wasn’t too far behind at 6.2 BBPA/g and will only get better over the next couple of seasons as he hasn’t even hit his prime yet.
I wouldn’t spend the summer trying to split hairs as to whether Kelce or LaPorta should be the first TE off the board, but as of now, I lean LaPorta. Ideally, someone else in your draft selects either Kelce or LaPorta as the first TE and you can simply take the other TE a couple of picks later.
