Draft Sharks - Fantasy Football Podcast
Jun 4, 2026 · 35 min · 8 segments
Should you pay up for Brock Bowers or Trey McBride, or is Colston Loveland the smarter 2026 fantasy football tight end target? Matt Schauf and Jared Smola of DraftSharks.com break down the top tiers…
Is there an underrated player in the top tier of our tight end rankings? Should you avoid tier four altogether? This tends to be a position that you fit around and within your strategy at other spots as you draft, but there are definitely right ways to attack tight end and selections who can kill your roster build.
We're here to help you sort through the value targets and the fantasy landmines in an all new Draft Sharks podcast right now.
Matt Schauf and Jared Smola of draftsharks.com here to run you through the tight end tiers of our 2026 fantasy football rankings, just as we did with running backs and wide receivers the past two weeks.
That's primarily to align with the underdog fantasy ADP that gives us our best snapshot of the draft market right now.
Half PPR also at tight end helps us balance a little bit between the influence of high target players and of touchdown-heavy guys at this position that really presents a wide spectrum of options along those lines.
So even if you aren't drafting best ball teams right now, or you don't play any half PPR leagues, these tiers are still relevant to you.
They're not gonna be hugely different from what they look like on draftsharks.com for the other scoring formats.
We're gonna talk through some PPR specifics on these players as we go, and you can also check out Jared's fantasy football tiers article that breaks down the full PPR tiers at every position.
Of course, you can also get your own tiers customized to fit the specifics of your league by syncing your team right now at draftsharks.com.
So we can talk all we want about whatever format, but do that to get rankings that are specific to your draft and that will move and change and live with you as you go through your draft and build your own team.
