Dynasty Movement: Week 7

Depending on your team, we are already/finally at the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season. A great time to stop, reset, and review Dynasty values across the league. Our team is on it!

Staffers Jason Wood, Andy Hicks, Maurile Tremblay, Ryan Weisse, and Sean Settle share their Dynasty ranking movement.

Dynasty Movement at Tight End

Tommy Tremble, Carolina

Settle - Tremble has 15 catches for 128 yards and 2 touchdowns through 5 games, numbers that would not stand out at receiver but amount to a quietly strong tight end season in an offense that does not throw often. He is in the same Carolina passing game feeding Chuba Hubbard above, and a tight end getting consistent receiving work and touchdown looks on a run-heavy team is exactly the profile that outperforms where he was drafted.

Darnell Washington, Pittsburgh

Settle - Washington has 15 catches for 156 yards and 2 touchdowns through 6 games, modest counting numbers that still make him a top twelve tight end in most formats right now. He was drafted and mostly talked about for his blocking, but his receiving role has grown into something genuinely useful; a tight end this far outside the mainstream conversation producing at this level is the definition of a name worth adding before the rest of the league notices.

Eli Raridon, New England

Weisse - Sometimes dynasty fantasy football is about biding your time. Raridon may not help you in 2026, but of all the backup tight ends, he may have the clearest path to starting in 2027. Hunter Henry has played well enough, but he is 31 years old and may not be able to fend off Raridon next spring. Raridon has nine catches in his first five games and has already found the endzone once. You can probably get him for cheap now and just hold to see how the 2027 preseason plays out. The return on investment could be huge.

Hicks - When a team drafts a tight end in the first three rounds, they have a purpose for that player. With Hunter Henry well over 30, Raridon was thought to need some development and be an option for 2027 onward. After scoring the first touchdown of the entire 2026 season, Raridon has followed up with solid performances, with augurs well for his prospects. A strong dynasty prospect. 

Wood - I didn't see much movement at tight end this week, with the only moves worth discussing being lower-tier, developmental pieces. Raridon, a rookie third-rounder from Notre Dame, is playing about 55% of snaps right now. He's clearly behind veteran Hunter Henry. But the coaches clearly trust him already, and he's flashed enough as a blocker and route-runner to project him as the Patriots' multi-year starter in 2027 and beyond. He should be on a dynasty roster, even though he's unlikely to be useful in 2026.

Chig Okonkwo, Washington

Hicks - After four weeks, the Commanders' investment in Okonkwo looked like a bust. Four catches for 21 yards in four games wasn't what was expected after signing a lucrative free-agent deal. With injuries piling up at the receiver position and Jaylon Daniels returning as starter, Okonkwo has been a shining light over the last two weeks. Only Brock Bowers and Isaiah Likely have more receiving yards over the last two weeks. Okonkwo gets a solid rise in rankings and should be a starter in most leagues. His dynasty outlook optimism rises rapidly as a result. 

Nate Boerkircher, Jacksonville

Hicks - It seemed like a strange decision for the Jaguars to draft Boerkircher in the second round when the team was so optimistic about Brenton Strange. Strange has had his injury issues, and there is no such thing as having too many good players on a team. Boerkircher won't be a fantasy force anytime soon, but his name is worth keeping in mind as he develops and gets more opportunity. 

Colston Loveland, Chicago

Tremblay - Loveland had 3 receiving yards through two games and raised real questions about whether he'd make the second-year jump. Caleb Williams returned at Atlanta in Week 6, and his first throw went to Loveland, who caught a 14-yard touchdown on the opening drive. He finished with six catches for 65 yards, his most involved game of the season. That suggests the slow start was not about Loveland's talent or role. The Bears consider him a foundational player, and his quarterback has called him a future best-in-the-league tight end. Keep trusting him as a long-term top-tier dynasty tight end.

Jake Ferguson, Dallas

Tremblay - Ferguson had a late drop in Week 5 that turned into the interception that sealed the loss to Tampa Bay. In Week 6 at Green Bay, he lost his starting job to Brevyn Spann-Ford, an undrafted 2024 signing who started and played more snaps. Spann-Ford is now seen as Prescott's red-zone target, the same short-yardage role that had been growing for Ferguson. Ferguson still has four years left on his contract. But what was an unquestioned every-down role in one of the league's better offenses now looks shared.

Josh Cuevas, Baltimore

Wood - One could argue Cuevas is fourth on the Ravens' depth chart, which isn't usually a spot we highlight for fantasy value. But NFL history is littered with playmakers who needed luck and injuries higher up on the depth chart to open doors. Tom Brady might never have become a starter had Drew Bledsoe stayed healthy. The key is to make plays when your number is called, and Cuevas deserves a mention. The rookie fifth-rounder has seen his snap share grow from 9% in Week 1 to 40% last week, and he delivered a 4-44-1 stat line. Mark Andrews is nearing the end of his career, and the Ravens need young, inexpensive pieces to build around highly paid veterans like Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. Cuevas is the kind of player who may be available off waivers even in reasonably deep dynasty leagues, and if you're looking for lottery-ticket tight ends to add to your roster, he's worth considering.
