Tight ends Dallas Goedert (88) and C.J. Uzomah (87) take the field for the Eagles' open training camp practice at the Linc on August 1, 2024.

The tight end position is extremely deep this year, and it shouldn't be hard for every fantasy manager to have a reliable one — at least in theory — on the roster after your fantasy draft.

But if you're on the fence, or picking one at the end of the draft and need more data, we've got you covered.

Below is a look at the depth chart at tight end for teams entering the 2024 season, along with the number of targets they received last season. The bolded players are on new teams, and italics mark the rookies:

Here's one more tool: If your tight end is more touchdown-dependent rather than catch volume, you might want to nab a player who gets a lot of opportunities in the red zone.

Jake Ferguson (DAL)245
