Fantasy Football Rankings 2025: Justin Boone's Top Tight Ends for drafts
Justin Boone won the FantasyPros Most Accurate Expert Award in 2019 and has eight top-10 finishes in the competition. He now brings his rankings acumen to the Yahoo Fantasy audience after recently joining the team as an analyst. He will consistently be refining his draft rankings during training camps, the preseason and leading up to the season. When news breaks, rankings updates will be reflected here, so bookmark this page and get ready for your drafts! And be sure to follow the links below to see his latest redraft rankings at every position. Latest TE Updates Colts rookie Tyler Warren made his preseason debut this week and immediately was a focal point of the passing attack, catching three passes for 40 yards. This comes after several beat writers remarked on his frequent volume in practice. As I've said before, if you miss out on the three elite tight ends, targeting someone from the tier of Tucker Kraft, Dalton Kincaid, Colston Loveland and Warren is a smart move. Am I buying the Kyle Pitts hype again? Maybe. Michael Penix Jr. locking onto him in practice and insisting that is the plan this season is at least notable. Darnell Mooney is also dealing with a shoulder injury that might keep him sidelined into the start of the season. That would leave Pitts as a meaningful part of the passing game early on. Either way, he's risk-free at his late-round ADP this year and still carries more promise than the other boring veteran TEs in that range. There was speculation all offseason that the Seahawks could release veteran tight end Noah Fant, but they waited until right before training camp to make the move. That helps disguise the fantasy value of second-round rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo, who seems headed for a big role in Klint Kubiak's scheme. While I prefer the long-term value of other Day 2 rookie tight ends like Mason Taylor, Harold Fannin Jr. and Terrance Ferguson, Arroyo has a chance to outproduce all of them in Year 1.

Marshawn Lynch stiff arms Seahawks RB as credentialed photographer
The Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders squared off to open their preseason schedules Thursday night at Lumen Field in Seattle. It was something of a revenge game for former Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, now with the Raiders, but astute viewers would've seen another legend on the sidelines: Marshawn Lynch. The two-time All-Pro running back was on the sidelines as a credentialed photographer for the game between two of his former teams. He appeared on the broadcast late in the first quarter during Seahawks running back George Holani's touchdown run. Lynch – known for his iconic "Beastquake" run – used his forearm to protect his camera from Holani. Holani takes it HOME!📺: @King5Seattle or @NFLNetwork .@MoneyLynch unnecessary roughness ? Exclusive: Jacksonville Jaguars star Travis Hunter unfazed by playing offense and defense Shedeur Sanders starting vs. Panthers: What to expect from Browns rookie QB Lynch was working next to longtime Seahawks photographer Rod Mar during Holani's touchdown run. Lynch and Mar were seen talking during the game with the former running back showing Mar some of his work. 📸Former Seahawks/Raiders RB Marshawn Lynch with Seahawks photographer Rod Mar at the Raiders versus Seahawks preseason game. Marshawn behind the camera 📸 @MoneyLynchLVvsSEA on @NFLNetworkWatch live out-of-market preseason games on @NFLPlus The iconic Seahawks running back may be the next Seattle-area sports legend to take up photography. He'd be following in the footsteps of former Seattle Mariners legends Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson. Griffey was a credentialed photographer at the 2025 Masters and captured one of the more notable photographs from Rory McIlroy's victory. Photo, courtesy of Ken Griffey, Jr. Griffey told USA TODAY Sports in 2024 that he picked up photography watching his kids play sports "because nobody bothers the photographer, really." Johnson studied photography before his Hall of Fame baseball career. He's now a regularly credentialed photographer for MLB games and the Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, has a photo gallery of Johnson's work. Lynch could be the next man up. The Seahawks are at Lumen Field again for their next preseason game Aug. 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs. We'll see if Lynch takes up his Nikon once again for that one.
