Fantasy Football 2026: Tight Ends to Avoid in Drafts

As fantasy football drafts approach for 2026, experts emphasize the importance of knowing which players to target and which to avoid. Utilizing expert consensus rankings alongside average draft positions can help identify overvalued players.

Among the tight ends to avoid is Trey McBride, who had an impressive 2025 season with 126 catches and 11 touchdowns. However, changes in the Cardinals' offensive strategy and the addition of a new running back may hinder his performance this year.

Dalton Kincaid, despite his efficiency in 2025, faces challenges due to injuries and limited playing time, which may restrict his impact in 2026. Lastly, Jake Ferguson's potential is limited by the presence of star receivers in Dallas, making him a less favorable option for fantasy teams this season.
