Brock Bowers leads the August dynasty TE rankings, a standout at the college level whose long‑term fantasy impact dwarfs most, with Trey McBride and Sam LaPorta nipping at his heels in a tight top tier. Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren draw steady dynasty attention, while a deeper group features George Kittle, T.J. Hockenson, Dalton Kincaid, David Njoku, and Travis Kelce anchoring the respectable floor of the cycle. Kyle Pitts and Evan Engram sit within the next wave, with Chig Okonkwo and the veteran Jonnu Smith among the notable fallbacks. In all, the ranking emphasizes scarcity—elite, healthy targets are scarce, rookie levers matter, and position flexibility is king in dynasty formats.

News notes center on Darren Waller’s PUP status in Miami and Hunter Henry’s undisclosed injury in New England, signaling temporary shifts in TE usage and target distribution. Colston Loveland’s early preseason action with Chicago, AJ Barner’s hot training-camp buzz for Seattle, and Tucker Kraft’s Packers projection as a top TE option add nuance to early-season value. Noah Gray’s rising chatter in Kansas City keeps a watchful eye on the depth chart behind Kelce. Owners should monitor conditioning, depth-chart moves, and scheme changes as big‑picture dynasty value evolves through the year.
