Bills | Dalton Kincaid's role not likely to grow Tue Sep 2, 10:19 PM

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid played 66 percent of the team's offensive snaps in 2024, when healthy. Beat writer Joe Buscaglia suggests, based on training camp workloads, that Kincaid's role is unlikely to grow more than that in 2025, especially since TE Dawson Knox is viewed as a more superior blocker in the run game, as is rookie TE Jackson Hawes.

Texans | Dalton Schultz restructures deal Tue Sep 2, 09:05 PM

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz had his contract restructured his $36 million contract for salary-cap purposes Tuesday, Sept. 2. It was a simple conversion, and he'll make the same amount as his original deal, $11.508 million in 2025, but it goes into a signing bonus that lowered his salary-cap figure.

Ravens | Two remain sidelined Mon Sep 1, 03:29 PM

Baltimore Ravens FB Patrick Ricard (undisclosed) and TE Isaiah Likely (foot) did not participate in practice Monday, Sept. 1.

Buccaneers | Cade Otton back on field Mon Sep 1, 03:14 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (leg) participated in practice Monday, Sept. 1.

Footballguys view: While we don't yet know what Otton's level of participation was today, the fact that he was on the field at all is a positive after we heard last week that this injury could sideline the veteran tight end for Sunday's regular-season opener on the road against Atlanta. As CBSSports.com noted, Wednesday's first official practice report of the week will officially disclose Otton's activity level as the weekend draws near. Stay tuned for more.

Titans | Drake Dabney joins practice squad Mon Sep 1, 02:15 PM

Free-agent TE Drake Dabney (Titans) was signed to the Tennessee Titans practice squad Monday, Sept. 1.

Dolphins | Darren Waller on track to play in opener Mon Sep 1, 11:31 AM

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller is on track to play in Week 1, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Footballguys view: As USA Today reminded readers, Waller was once one of the top tight ends in the league during his back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with the Raiders in 2019 and 2020. Now, however, coming off a one-year retirement, expectations are low. Could they be too low? Waller is a proven pass-catching tight end and could benefit from defenses having to account for the deep threats of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. But Warren must be on the field to do that. So, assuming all goes well, this week will be the first step in regaining the confidence of fantasy investors.

Titans | Gunnar Helm a future TE1? Sun Aug 31, 03:27 PM

Tennessee Titans TE Gunnar Helm's toughness and hands have earned praise from the coaching staff, and ESPN's Matt Miller believes Helm could become the team's starting tight end this season.

Footballguys view: Chig Okonkwo finished last year strong and was in with the starters a lot earlier in the preseason, but the trend here favors the rookie Helm. Okonkwo doesn't add much as a blocker and Helm has been dependable for fellow rookie QB Cam Ward.

Buccaneers | Trio of TEs might have to fill void Sun Aug 31, 02:59 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers TEs Devin Culp, Payne Durham and Ko Kieft might be thrust into bigger roles in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons if TE Cade Otton (leg) is unable to go. It's uncertain which player would be tabbed to start, although Kieft probably has the most experience in the system, while Durham is seen as the best blocker of the triumvirate.

Broncos | Nate Adkins may be FB option Sat Aug 30, 02:23 PM

Denver Broncos TE Nate Adkins (ankle) is expected to be a candidate at fullback once he returns from his injury. Adkins likely will not be available for Week 1 because of his ankle injury.

Falcons | Kyle Pitts a trade candidate? Sat Aug 30, 01:28 AM

Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts could be a trade candidate if the Falcons struggle ahead of the trade deadline, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic.

Footballguys view: Pitts has a ton of physical talent, but things have failed to come together for the former top-10 pick outside of his 1,000-yard season as a rookie. We'll see what kind of connection the veteran tight end can build with second-year quarterback Michael Penix. Fantasy GMs who still trust Pitts can look at him in his normal low-end TE1 spot with upside.

Panthers | Ja'Tavion Sanders making strides Sat Aug 30, 01:28 AM

Carolina Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders has really improved as a pass catcher, according to head coach Dave Canales.

Footballguys view: It takes time for tight ends to fully develop at the pro level. Entering his second pro season, Sanders has the athletic profile to be a receiving weapon for the Panthers. From a fantasy perspective, Sanders is a TE3 worth keeping an eye on if/when he's on your waiver wire in deeper leagues.

Dolphins | Darren Waller working to get ready for opener Sat Aug 30, 01:28 AM

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller said he will be working a lot with QB Tua Tagovailoa next week so he can knock some rust off after sitting out the 2024 season. 'Just getting reps, getting time under tension, knowing how he's getting the ball off when he hits his drop,' Waller said. 'What that looks like for me, whip my head around and having that ball come in which I felt like was a great start today. It's just time, just continuing to grind at it and those things start to become second nature.'

Footballguys view: Waller came out of retirement to join the Dolphins, and with his injury history we look at him as a low-end TE2. His target share will be dictated by his health and availability. Plus, Waller could see less work if both WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are at full strength.

Giants | Theo Johnson day-to-day Fri Aug 29, 04:00 PM

New York Giants TE Theo Johnson (undisclosed) has not practiced this week and is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Brian Daboll.

Footballguys view: Johnson was a surprise rookie contributor last year and he's one of the fastest tight ends in the league, so there was some anticipation that he could get onto the fantasy radar this year. His injury is a bit mysterious, so we shouldn't be surprised if he's out for Week 1. Daniel Bellinger would be the next man up.

Footballguys view: We like Fairweather in super deep dynasty formats. It's takes some time for tight ends to develop in the pros, sometimes three years, but with his size/athleticism combination, there might be something there in the future.

Footballguys view: Restrepo is the player we want to watch most here, but only in super deep dynasty formats. A college teammate of QB Cam Ward, Restrepo is a slot-only receiver who can work underneath routes. He's quicker than he is fast, but Restrepo can be a reliable target to move the chains.

Footballguys view: Miller is a quarterback we'll monitor in crazy deep dynasty formats. Undrafted out of North Dakota State, Miller has good traits as a runner in addition to his processing power as a passer. He may lack arm strength on boundary/deep throws, but there's enough moxie here to keep around as a developmental prospect.

Free-agent WR Elijah Cooks (Eagles), TE E.J. Jenkins (Eagles), TE Cameron Latu (Eagles), WR Terrace Marshall Jr. (Eagles) and QB Kyle McCord (Eagles) were signed to the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad Wednesday, Aug. 27.

Footballguys view: McCord was a sixth-round pick (Syracuse) for the Eagles just last year. He's got an incredibly quick release and has no problem challenging a defense. McCord is worth developing, and on the Eagles there could be something there for the future.
