5 Dynasty TEs to Target If You're Rebuilding

A look into the top tight ends to trade for if you are rebuilding in dynasty.

Corey Spala's 5 Dynasty TEs to Target If You're Rebuilding Corey Spala Published 08/16/2024

A tight end can solidify a dynasty roster. Consistency in the position creates a sigh of relief.  When targeting a tight end when rebuilding, it will be important to understand multiple variables. Your roster construction, leaguemates' roster constructions, the waiver wire, and upcoming draft class.

If you can acquire a young tight end like Trey McBride or Dalton Kincaid, do it.

But if you are rebuilding, you may not have the assets (players or draft picks) to formulate a trade offer for a tight end of their caliber. Here are some easier targets to trade for (and some bonus targets likely available on the waiver wire).

Rebuilding TE to Trade For #1

Brock Bowers, Las Vegas – TE5

Bowers' talent is obvious, and his long-term value is secured. You can argue for Bowers being the number one tight-end prospect in history. This may be the last time you can acquire Bowers at his current cost. His skillset makes him more than just a tight end. He lined up in the slot 52% in college and accumulated 19 rushing attempts. I would not hesitate to trade an asset like Michael Pittman for Bowers, especially when you can get a future third added on.

Rebuilding TE to Trade For #2

Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh – TE17

Freiermuth has averaged 5.1 targets per game in his career. The immediate future bodes well for his outlook. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's offense targeted tight ends at the highest rate in 2023. Pittsburgh may trade for Brandon Aiyuk, which would reduce Freiermuth's value further. These are the windows we should attack when buying talented players. I would not want to trade a second-round selection for Freiermuth but rather pivot off the aging assets like Aaron Jones or Jerry Jeudy
