By Eric Froton — In News — July 16, 2026

   ​While tight ends score far less points on average than their skill position counterparts, there are often a few elite difference-makers who tilt the balance of CFF leagues come playoff time. Focusing on tight ends who play in 12-personnel-friendly systems like Oregon, Iowa and Boston College is always a safe play with built in upside. You should also look to draft tight ends who flex out to the slot or out wide at high rates, as those big-slot types tend to emerge as college fantasy football difference-makers.This year, three difference-makers in explosive offenses lead the TE position in LSU’s Trey’Dez Green, Oregon’s Jamari Johnson and Texas Tech’s Terrence Carter. Fortunately, even if you miss out on those three stars, there is a deep and talented group of viable CFF tight end options behind them.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTeam Offense (Coming Friday)D/ST (Coming Friday)RankPlayerTeam1Trey’Dez GreenLSU2Jamari JohnsonOregon3Terrance CarterTexas Tech4DJ VonnahmeIowa State5Kaelan ChudzinskiBoston College6Dylan WadeUCF7Patrick OvermyerHouston8Benjamin BrahmerPenn State9Dorian FlemingMaryland10Luke ReynoldsVirginia Tech11Willie RodriguezKentucky12Randy PittmanSMU13Decker DeGraafWashington14Jeremiah HasleyDuke15Hunter AndrewsUtah16Ethan DavisTennessee17Garrett OakleyKansas State18Mason MiniCalifornia19Elija LoftonMiami20Mark BowmanUSC21Lawson LuckieGeorgia22Brett NorfleetMissouri23Brody FoleyLouisville24Rocky BeersOklahoma25Dorian ThomasCalifornia26Luke HaszOle Miss27Michael MasunasTexas28Caleb OdomOle Miss29Carson GulkerMichigan State30Vander PloogNC State31Walker LyonsBYU32Christian BentancurClemson33Cooper FlanaganNotre Dame34Luke DehnickeNorthwestern35Noah MeyersSyracuse36Tyler FortenberryIowa State37Benjamin BlackburnStanford
