Experts Recommend Late-Round Tight Ends for 2026 Fantasy Football Drafts

As fantasy football drafts approach, experts are advising players on which late-round tight ends to consider for the 2026 season. Notable names include Dallas Goedert, who finished as a top-six fantasy tight end last year, and Dalton Schultz, who had a strong performance with the Texans.

Goedert achieved a career-high 11 receiving touchdowns in 2025 and is expected to be a key player in the Eagles' passing game, especially with A.J. Brown's departure. Schultz, despite a modest touchdown total, ranked high in receptions and receiving yards among tight ends and is anticipated to play a significant role following an injury to a teammate.

Greg Dulcich is highlighted as a potential standout, showing impressive metrics when on the field. A.J. Barner is also noted for his increased involvement in the Seahawks' offense, while Isaiah Likely, recovering from an injury, is expected to be a strong contributor for the Giants this season. These players are considered valuable late-round options for fantasy football enthusiasts.
