Albert Okwuegbunam News
Saturday, October 4, 8:41 PM
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Albert Okwuegbunam was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Colts. Michael Mayer (concussion) has already been ruled out, marking his second-straight absence. In addition, Brock Bowers (knee) is "trending toward not playing." If Bowers ends up missing the Week 4 matchup versus Indianapolis, Ian Thomas and Okwuegbunam could see extra looks from Geno Smith. However, neither player can be trusted from a fantasy standpoint, so managers should look in another direction for Bowers' replacement. The same can be said for rookie Carter Runyon, who hasn't done much this season.

Jake Ferguson News
Saturday, April 11, 5:25 AM
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson caught 82 passes for 600 yards on his way to a TE8 finish in 2025, but the path there wasn't always a straight line. Ferguson began the year as the overall TE1 through the first seven weeks, but played out the rest of the season as TE22, catching only two of his eight total touchdowns from that point forward. The 27-year-old former fourth-round pick has shown flashes of week-winning potential, but the biggest hindrance to consistent fantasy production is that he plays on a team with two certified target earners in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, both of whom saw over 7.7 targets per game in their first season together. Despite a recent infusion of youth at the position, the value of tight ends is still a curve that runs relatively flat outside of the true difference makers, so Ferguson managers should continue to feel good about a player who can provide a relatively safe floor while offering the occasional spike week to outperform his current TE12 dynasty ranking.
