Dynasty Movement: Week 15

A panel of Footballguys staffers discusses why certain quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends should be moving up or down your dynasty rankings.

Jeff Bell's Dynasty Movement: Week 15 Jeff Bell Published 12/11/2025

The fantasy football playoffs are here, ushering in one of our last chances to evaluate players on the field results before a long offseason filled with player movement. We asked Dynasty staffers Corey Spala, Josh Fahlsing, Jeff Blaylock, David Zacharias, and Mike Kashuba for the biggest movers in their rankings.

Dynasty Movement at Tight End

Elijah Arroyo and AJ Barner, Seattle

Zacharias: Arroyo is presently playing second fiddle in the Seahawks' tight end orchestra. First chair belongs to 23-year-old Barner (TE23), who is outproducing 22-year-old Arroyo (TE56) 8.5 to 3.0 PPR points per game. Footballguys' consensus dynasty rankings are reversed: Arroyo is TE21, while Barner is TE40. My outlier projection is that Barner and Arroyo will split the Seahawks' future tight-end PPR productivity evenly; I've ranked both around dynasty TE34 (5.7 PPR points per game).

Harold Fannin Jr., Cleveland

Fahlsing:  I know he's a trendy name right now, but it really is remarkable the season he's had in Cleveland, and I don't see any reason he won't ascend heading into next season. I already have him ranked as tight end seven, so he isn't noteworthy here because he'll make a big jump, but because the small jump he'll make should put him into my top five dynasty tight ends headed into 2026. The situation in Cleveland is, as always, shaky, but Fannin is only 21 years old, and there's a lot to like about the way he stepped in and demanded targets almost from the start. He was a bright spot in an otherwise tough season for the Browns. Whether the long-term answer at quarterback is on the Browns' roster yet or not - history suggests the latter - Fannin and Quinshon Judkins are at the center of a nice young offensive foundation. 

Spala: Fannin leads Cleveland's receivers in targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns. He has played with multiple quarterbacks and remains a factor in the offense. In addition, he leads all tight ends in broken tackles. Cleveland certainly may look to bolster the wide receiver room this offseason, but Fannin should remain a top target. I have moved Fannin up to TE6. 

Isaiah Likely, Baltimore 

Blaylock: The Ravens extended Mark Andrews for another three seasons, which signals either Baltimore will let Likely leave in free agency, or Likely will remain the team's TE2. Either way, he won't be taking over for Andrews, something many, myself included, have been waiting on for several seasons. The best hope for dynasty managers is for Likely to sign with a TE-needy team that reliably features just one of them. However, his range of outcomes includes signing with a team that deploys a fleet of tight ends, making him as touchdown-dependent and unstartable as he is now.

T.J. Hockenson, Minnesota

Kashuba: I was still holding on to hope we'd see pre-ACL T.J. Hockenson. Instead, he's been thrown down to the shadow realm with the rest of the random tight ends who might be the TE9 in a year to fool us into thinking they're valuable again. Injuries stink, the Vikings offense is rough to watch, and Hockenson was once a very useful part of a dynasty matchup who has been relegated to a streaming option.
