Tier 3: The Matchup Plays

Tier 4: The Developmental Bets

Tier 5: The Deep Stashes

How are these dynasty TE rankings calculated?

The order comes from real trade prices: the engine solves the most recent 30 days of real Sleeper league trades and recalculates every 12 hours. Notably, 47.6% of those trades come from TE-premium leagues, so the values reflect a true blended market.

How much does TE premium change dynasty TE values?

Materially — TEP scoring lifts the whole position, and most for every-week starters. For a deal in a specific league, set the TE-premium toggle in the trade calculator so the numbers match your scoring.

Is it worth paying for an elite dynasty TE?

If you can get one without gutting your WR core, yes — the difference-maker tier is tiny, cannot be streamed, and holds value well. The drop to the next tier is severe, so overpaying to cross it by one slot is the most common TE mistake.
