Top Players to Target or Avoid in PFSN’s 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football TE Rankings
Colby Parkinson, TE, Los Angeles Rams
This isn't your classic 11-personnel Los Angeles Rams team. The new Rams utilize their tight ends; all of them.
With Tyler Higbee done for the season, it hasn't been rookie Terrance Ferguson or veteran Davis Allen as the primary tight end. It's been Colby Parkinson.
The Rams' new TE1 has scored a touchdown in five of his last six games. He caught two against the Lions in Week 15.
Davante Adams aggravated his hamstring injury and left the game. There's simply no chance he will be ready to go on a short week. The primary beneficiary won't be any other wide receiver. It will be Parkinson. If you need a tight end, he is your man.
Dalton Schultz, TE, Houston Texans
This was the week for Dalton Schultz. Facing the notoriously bad-against-tight-ends Arizona Cardinals, the Houston Texans TE caught eight of nine targets for 76 yards and a touchdown.
This is not a time to chase the points. The Texans get the Las Vegas Raiders next week, who are top three at defending the tight end. They close out the fantasy season against the Chargers, who are top 10. There won't be another week to use Schultz. Leave him on the waiver wire.

FAQ
How Does Tight End Premium Scoring Affect TE Rankings?
Tight End Premium (TEP) scoring is a fantasy format where TEs earn more points per reception than other positions, usually 1.5 points instead of the standard 1.0. This scoring tweak is designed to make the position more impactful and relevant in fantasy leagues.
In TEP leagues, pass-catching TEs move up the rankings because their receptions are more valuable. Players who might be mid-tier in a standard PPR league can become weekly starters in TEP formats simply because they catch more passes. It also increases the gap between elite TEs and the rest of the pack, making the top names even more desirable.
When drafting or evaluating rankings, always check if your league uses Tight End Premium scoring. It can dramatically change your strategy, especially in dynasty, where locking in a high-volume TE can give you a consistent edge for years to come.
