Fantasy Football Sleepers: Tight Ends to Watch in 2026
As fantasy football drafts approach, experts recommend several tight ends to consider for 2026. These players are seen as potential sleepers who could exceed expectations and provide significant contributions to fantasy teams.
Juwan Johnson had a standout season in 2025, recording 77 catches for 889 yards and three touchdowns, finishing as TE10 in half-point PPR scoring. Despite concerns about rookie WR Jordan Tyson's impact, Tyson's hamstring injury may allow Johnson to maintain a key role in the Saints' offense under head coach Kellen Moore.
Chig Okonkwo remains an intriguing option despite the signing of Stefon Diggs, while Greg Dulcich showed promise with Miami last season. Terrance Ferguson, a second-round pick, faces competition in a crowded Rams tight end group but possesses notable athleticism. Lastly, Brenton Strange had a breakout year in 2025 and could see increased opportunities if injuries occur within the Jaguars' receiving corps.
