Key Fantasy Football Stats for 2026 Season

FantasyPros has compiled crucial statistics for the 2026 fantasy football season, focusing on tight ends to assist players in their drafts. The analysis includes insights from the previous season, highlighting key performers and potential breakout candidates.

Kyle Pitts led his team in target share last season, but his numbers dipped when teammate Drake London was active. Dalton Schultz had a strong 2025 season with 82 receptions but struggled with touchdowns, presenting an opportunity for improvement in 2026. Mark Andrews faced challenges, ranking low in several receiving metrics, while Sam LaPorta is expected to return strong after an injury.

Jake Ferguson finished fifth among tight ends in PPR leagues, showing promise for the upcoming season. Conversely, Oronde Gadsden II's performance raised concerns, as he struggled with consistency and is now part of a tight end committee, making him a less favorable option for fantasy players.
