Week 1 FFPC TE Rankings

64 TEs ranked · FFPC scoring · Updated

Past week — Week 2 is current.

Week 1 baseline. No 2026 games have been played yet, so these rankings are built from current depth charts, last season's usage, and Vegas Week 1 totals — not from observed play. They are replaced by the full usage model once Week 1 is complete.

FFPC pays tight ends 1.5 points per reception instead of one, so volume catchers gain ground on the touchdown-dependent names. This is the Week 1 FFPC TE board — 64 TEs ranked on FFPC scoring, not a PPR board with a label swapped on it. 25 of 64 TEs sit at a different rank here than on the Week 1 PPR board. Chig Okonkwo gains the most, moving from 21 in PPR to 18 under FFPC scoring. Colston Loveland leads the board at 14.5 projected FFPC points, 0.9 clear of Colby Parkinson.
