The NFL is going heavy. Pass plays using two or more tight ends climbed from 20.3% in 2023 to 25.3% in 2025, the highest rate of the 2000s.

Trey McBride remains the standard. The bigger 2026 question is which tight ends can earn enough routes to separate from the field. Save this trend for draft season and send it to the manager planning to wait at tight end. Who finishes as TE1 in 2026? #FantasyFootball #NFLStats #TightEnds #NFL #SharpFootball
