It’s #NationalTightEndsDay in the NFL this week, so you can expect the spotlight to shine on one of football’s most versatile positions. With offenses leaning heavily on their playmakers, bettors will look more closely at the tight end position this week. Using BTA Sports’ projections, we’ve highlighted 5 TEs to look for when betting this Sunday:

1. Tyler Warren – Indianapolis Colts

Rookie tight end Tyler Warren has quietly emerged as one of the best picks of this year’s NFL draft, currently leading all TEs in receiving yards (439) this season. He faces a Titans’ defense that has given up touchdowns to the tight end position in each of their last two games. With #NationalTightEndsDay giving him the perfect stage, Warren is well-positioned to extend his strong rookie campaign with another productive effort in Week 8.

Jake Ferguson is having a breakout start to the 2025 season, currently leading all tight ends in receptions (51) and touchdowns (6). He will be up against a Denver secondary that just got torched by the Giants’ pair of tight ends, giving up 154 yards and 2 touchdowns.  Even with CeeDee Lamb back in the offensive scheme, Ferguson will still get his usual target share.

Evan Engram had a slow start to his first season in Denver, but he has picked up the pace in the last few weeks. Since Week 4, Engram is averaging 4.5 receptions per game and ranked 4th amongst TEs in targets (27). The Broncos are up against the league’s worst defense against the pass, so expect the pass game to be a high priority on Sunday.

Goedert gets his rematch against the New York Giants after dominating for 110 yards and a touchdown in Week 6.

Goedert should have plenty of opportunities to make an impact over the middle on Sunday.
