You gotta see this. Justin Boone unveiled his Week 8 tight end trade value charts today, and if you are still trying to figure out your fantasy squad, Brock Bowers is absolutely rocking a massive 64 in the HALF PPR rankings for rest-of-season trade values. That’s a huge number, and it tells you everything about who is holding the most power at the tight end position right now.
The Top Tier Tight Ends Who Can Win You Your League
When you look at Boone’s breakdown, Bowers is leading the charge by a mile, sitting at 64, with another value at 69 right next to it, making him the undisputed king of the tight end trade market. After him, Trey McBride is holding strong at 56 (and 59), proving he’s a consistent force. George Kittle isn’t far behind either, pulling in a 52 (and 55). These are your elite options, the guys you’re building your roster around if you can get them. Following that top three, Colston Loveland and Isaiah Likely are shaping up as some serious pickups with values of 36 (39) and 31 (34) respectively. These players are the difference-makers; if you are looking to make a move, they’re the ones to target to push your fantasy team forward.
Shifts and Surprises in the Mid-To-Lower Ranks
Beyond the top dogs, there are some really interesting shifts in value that can make or break your trade strategy. Sam LaPorta and Tucker Kraft are still solid options, landing in the high 20s. LaPorta checks in at 29 (32) and Kraft at 27 (30). But then you get some real curveballs. Legendary tight ends like Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews, who used to dominate these charts, are sitting much lower than you might expect. Kelce is down at 14 (17), and Andrews is even further back at a mere 7 (8)! What does that even tell you about the position in Week 8? It means value has consolidated hard at the very top. Guys like Dallas Goedert at 15 (18) and Dalton Kincaid at 18 (22) are hanging in the middle, still offering some decent return. Down at the bottom, players like Colby Parkinson, Darnell Washington, and Cade Otton are listed with trade values of 1, meaning they’re essentially roster depth or throw-ins at this point in the season.
So, what’s your move, fantasy managers? With Week 8 here, Boone’s charts are the ultimate blueprint to navigating the trade market. Are you going all-in for a top-tier game-changer like Brock Bowers, or are you going to try to scoop up a mid-range guy for a bargain? Every value on this chart is a hint at who you should be calling up in your league right now, because every single point is going to count from here on out.
