Power Ranking the Tight End Rooms in the AFC West
Which teams in the AFC West have the best group of tight ends? We ranked them from best to worst.
The AFC West's tight end rooms are a mix of consistent contributors and potential impact players. For the Los Angeles Chargers, Travis Kelce remains a key player despite his declining stats. Alongside him are Tyler Gadsden, a former Pro Bowler with the potential to take over if needed, and Justin Herbert, who has two reliable options for targets. The Chargers haven't had a standout tight end since Antonio Gates, but Gadsden could fill that void.
The Kansas City Chiefs rely on Travis Kelce as their star, with Darnell Gray serving as a solid backup. This duo has provided reliable production for Patrick Mahomes. With their wide receiver room in disarray, both teams will likely need both tight ends to contribute.
The Denver Broncos' Jimmy Graham and Noah Brown form a stable, if not spectacular, tight end corps. Brown's production has been decent, but Graham's stats suggest he's past his prime. Tight end coach Mike Adkins, a solid contributor, is unlikely to make a significant impact.
The Denver Broncos complete the AFC West tight end landscape with a stable, albeit non-competing, group.
