Rookie Josh Cuevas a Deep-League Tight End to Monitor

Baltimore Ravens rookie fifth-round tight end Josh Cuevas had his best day as a professional in the team's 13-10 loss on Sunday in Week 6 to the division-rival Cleveland Browns, catching four of his five targets for 44 yards and his first career touchdown reception. The 23-year-old from Alabama played the same number of offensive snaps (23 -- 40%) as fellow tight end Nick Vannett, with veteran Mark Andrews unsurprisingly playing 72% of the snaps. Cuevas has a total of seven receptions on only eight targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in his first six NFL games, but he has had multiple catches now in back-to-back games from backup quarterback Tyler Huntley. He is not rostered in any Yahoo leagues right now, and he is merely a young tight end to monitor in much deeper fantasy football leagues. Cuevas probably will not see major waiver-wire consideration in single-year leagues unless Andrews misses time with an injury at some point.

Ravens Select Josh Cuevas With 173rd Pick

The Baltimore Ravens have selected Alabama tight end Josh Cuevas with the 173rd overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Cuevas spent two seasons with the Crimson Tide after stints with Washington and Cal Poly. While his most productive season came in 2022 at FCS Cal Poly, he finished his final season at Alabama with 411 yards and four touchdowns on 37 receptions. At 6'4" and 240 pounds, he lacks elite size for the position but wins with competitive toughness and could see reps at fullback after spending some time in the backfield in 2025. With the Ravens losing both Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar to free agency, they have now spent fourth and fifth-round picks on tight ends Matthew Hibner and Cuevas, with Cuevas profiling more as the Kolar or Patrick Ricard replacement than a meaningful player for fantasy.
