One of the most fun parts of managing a deep dynasty roster is cultivating value by planting seeds at the end of your bench during the offseason. We'll go position-by-position and separate players into Snorkel, Scuba, and Submarine levels to serve dynasty players of all levels.

• Snorkel-level players are available in some leagues, especially ones with more shallow rosters.
• Scuba-level players are usually available unless your league has very deep rosters.
• Submarine-level players are often widely available, even in leagues with deep rosters.

This week covers tight end, which was a list that included Cade Otton and Noah Gray last year.

Snorkel

Erick All Jr., Cincinnati - All was starting to come on and was way ahead of schedule by most accounts after suffering a torn ACL in 2023. His 2024 ended with another torn ACL, and it's possible that he just might not be able to stay healthy, but if he can rally from this injury, he'll be in line to become one of Joe Burrow's targets for the long haul.

Cade Stover, Houston - Stover projects as a similar pro to Dalton Schultz, and he played in college with Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud. With Tank Dell's injury absence probably stretching into next season and Stefon Diggs hitting free agency, Stover could be cast in a much larger role in his second season after the team took him in the fourth round in April.

Noah Gray, Kansas City - Gray is leading the Chiefs in touchdown catches, and fourth-round pick Jared Wiley is on injured reserve, so you'd assume re-signing him would be a priority for the Chiefs, who could see Travis Kelce retire this offseason. If Gray is allowed to walk in free agency, it will be because another team signs him as their starter and the Chiefs aren't willing to go that high to retain his services.

Ja'Tavion Sanders, Carolina - The fourth-round pick showed lots of promise as a big target in the middle of the field before suffering a neck injury. He hasn't been able to show off much since coming back, even though Bryce Young's play has improved greatly in the second half of the year. Sanders is still in line to become one of Young's primary targets in the long term.
