A Hater’s Guide to the 2026 Rookie Tight End Class

Player mentions

Article text

I’ve been writing this series for several years and since everyone hates the 2026 draft class, this should write itself this year. If you want to see last year’s tight end edition, be sure to check it out here and if you want to see this year’s quarterback or running back or wide receiver write ups, click those links. If you are so inclined and want to find all of the previous hater articles over the last several seasons, go dig through this pile of slop . With all that out of the way, let me explain why every single player in the 2026 class is going to bust. 1.16 Kenyon Sadiq , TE NYJ Garrett Wilson is the Jets’ locked-in top option. The team added first-round wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr this year and also brought in former 2024 second-round pick Adonai Mitchell to go along with their 2025 second-round tight end, Mason Taylor . And, don’t forget 2022 second-rounder Breece Hall is one of the better pass catchers out of the backfield too. With all that firepower, the Jets added even more with the top tight end in the 2026 class Kenyon Sadiq. I’m sure it’ll be no problem for Geno Smith to support three fantasy-viable wide receivers, a viable PPR running back, and two tight ends. Geno Smith. 2.22 Eli Stowers , TE PHI A former QB who has only been a tight end for three years, Stowers looks to be an instant red zone threat in the NFL. Sadly, he plays on a team that invented a play where instead of running an actual play, they just shove the quarterback into the end zone. Enjoy clapping for that on the sideline, kid, you’re not much of a blocker. SUBSCRIBE TO DLF PREMIUM! Gain Instant Access to this resource and so much more!.
