4 Fantasy Football Sleepers to Draft: Tight Ends (2025)

The article promotes fantasy football draft cheat sheets, highlighting expert analysis on draft targets, sleepers, overvalued players, and busts. It specifically details Pat Fitzmaurice’s tight end sleepers for 2025 drafts, featuring four players:

Evan Engram (DEN): After an injury-plagued 2024 season (missed 8 games), Engram signed a two-year, $23 million deal with Denver. Head coach Sean Payton plans to utilize him as a versatile "joker" role—previously held by players like Jimmy Graham—emphasizing Engram’s run-after-catch ability. Though duplicating his 2023 career-high stats (114 catches, 963 yards) at age 31 is unlikely, his amplified role makes him a potential value pick.

Kyle Pitts (ATL): Despite unmet expectations since his record-setting rookie season (first rookie TE with 1,000+ yards in 60 years), Pitts remains a sleeper at age 24. He recorded 47 catches, 602 yards, and 4 touchdowns in 2024. Factors like adapting to a new offensive coordinator and disappointing QB play (Kirk Cousins) may have hindered him. Optimism exists with increased system familiarity and new QB Michael Penix Jr.

Zach Ertz (WAS): The 34-year-old finished as TE8 in half-point PPR scoring last season with 66 catches, 654 yards, and 7 touchdowns. After a slow start (1 TD in first 10 games), he scored 6 TDs in the final 7 regular-season games and added a playoff TD. Re-signing with Washington on a one-year deal, his strong chemistry with QB Jayden Daniels positions him as a sneaky late-round option.

Brenton Strange (JAC): With Evan Engram’s departure, Strange ascends to the top of Jacksonville’s TE depth chart. Last season, he posted 40 catches for 411 yards and 2 touchdowns. In 8 games without Engram, he averaged 3.6 receptions and 34.4 yards. At age 24, his expanded role makes him an intriguing sleeper.
