The outliers: The only four tight ends who weren't in a new offense AND had ample pass-game competition: 2019 Hooper, 2021 Schultz, 2021 Gronk and 2025 Goedert. The former three benefited from playing with immensely productive passing games led by longtime stud QBs, while the latter had some of the wildest fantasy-friendly goal-line usage

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

2021 Gronk's outlier success at age 32 relied on elite QB, offense, and goal-line usage.

Gronkowski is cited as one of just 18 tight ends since 2017 who scored 12-plus PPR points per game (minimum 8 games) while being drafted as TE10 or later. The 2021 version (age 32) is highlighted as one of only four outliers who succeeded without being in a new offense AND despite ample pass-game competition (Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown). He benefited from playing in an immensely productive passing game led by longtime stud QB Tom Brady. He is also noted as one of only four 30-plus-year-olds to qualify in the broader study.
