Most Consistent TE of 2023: The Full Top 10 Record

Who Was the Most Consistent Tight End of 2023?

Consistency at tight end in 2023 meant holding a high weekly level across a full season, and three players did that better than anyone else: Sam LaPorta of the Detroit Lions, Evan Engram of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and T.J. Hockenson of the Minnesota Vikings. All three averaged 14 fantasy points per game. LaPorta separated on volume of scoring, finishing with 235 fantasy points in 17 games, ahead of Engram at 230 and Hockenson at 219 in 16 games.

Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs sits just below that trio at 13 fantasy points per game, but his best week of 36 was the single largest tight end score recorded in this top ten. Mark Andrews of the Baltimore Ravens also averaged 12 fantasy points per game, though his 11 games give the smallest sample in the group.

The 2023 Tight End Top 10, Week by Week Numbers

The table below is the complete measured top ten for the 2023 season, ranked by total fantasy points.

| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | | 1 | Sam LaPorta | Detroit Lions | 17 | 235 | 14 | 29 | | 2 | T.J. Hockenson | Minnesota Vikings | 16 | 219 | 14 | 30 | | 3 | Evan Engram | Jacksonville Jaguars | 17 | 230 | 14 | 32 | | 4 | Travis Kelce | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 219 | 13 | 36 | | 5 | Mark Andrews | Baltimore Ravens | 11 | 135 | 12 | 25 | | 6 | George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers | 17 | 203 | 12 | 28 | | 7 | David Njoku | Cleveland Browns | 17 | 201 | 12 | 27 | | 8 | Trey McBride | Arizona Cardinals | 17 | 182 | 11 | 26 | | 9 | Cole Kmet | Chicago Bears | 17 | 11 | 181 | 28 | | 10 | Jake Ferguson | Dallas Cowboys | 17 | 177 | 10 | 22 |

One quirk of this table: Hockenson ranks second on total points despite Engram scoring more, because Hockenson did it in fewer games and the per-game column carries the tiebreak at 14 for both. That same column disagrees with the totals again at the cut line, where Jake Ferguson's 177 points rank tenth even though his 10 points per game sit below Cole Kmet's 11.

Where the 2023 Tight End Field Broke Apart

The 2023 season splits into three clear bands. The top four all produced 219 fantasy points or more, and only Kelce at 13 points per game falls below the 14 mark shared by LaPorta, Engram, and Hockenson. The middle band runs from George Kittle's 203 points through Trey McBride's 182, all holding 11 or 12 points per game without threatening the leaders. Jake Ferguson closes the list at 177 points and 10 per game.

Andrews is the outlier shape in the data: 135 fantasy points and a 25-point best week in just 11 games, a smaller sample than every other name here. His 12 points per game matches Kittle and David Njoku despite the shortened line.

Best Weeks: Who Spiked Hardest in 2023?

Kelce's 36-point best week towers over the rest of the position, followed by Engram at 32 and Hockenson at 30. LaPorta's best week of 29 never reached those spikes, which is the heart of the consistency case: he led the position in total points and per-game level without leaning on one monster score. Ferguson's 22-point best week is the smallest single-game high in the top ten, and his season held together on steadiness rather than any blow-up game.
