Bills Work Out Adam Shaheen

Monday, October 30, 11:24 PM

While dealing with injuries at the position, the Buffalo Bills worked out former Chicago Bears tight end Adam Shaheen on Monday. Dawson Knox (wrist) is currently on Injured Reserve and will miss at least three more games. Shaheen was with the Miami Dolphins last year, but he didn't play at all due to a knee injury that landed him on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old former second-round pick by the Chicago Bears hasn't played in an NFL since 2021, when he had 12 receptions on 16 targets for 110 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games (seven starts). Shaheen will remain well off the fantasy radar, even if he's signed by Buffalo. Rookie Dalton Kincaid had a big game in last Thursday night's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will have TE1 upside moving forward with Knox on the shelf.

George Kittle Will Be On "Pitch Count" During Season Opener

Thursday, September 10, 6:14 AM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle tore his right Achilles in January and has worked his way back to being available for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams. However NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports that the talented tight end will be on a "pitch count to start but a pretty dramatic return for one of the NFL's best tight ends. George Kittle is back". Kittle played in 11 games in 2025 and recorded 57 receptions for 628 yards and seven touchdowns. He averaged 11.0 yards per reception and 57.1 yards per game. Even at age 32, Kittle is still one of the best tight end bets for fantasy. Returning from an Achillies tear as quickly as he did at that advanced age is a bit concerning, but if anyone can do it, it would be Kilttle. Look for a bit of a slow start to the season as he adjusts back to playing but he still should be a top-tier tight end.
