Blake Whiteheart Returns to the Browns

Monday, March 23, 1:58 PM

The Cleveland Browns re-signed tight end Blake Whiteheart to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. The deal is most likely for just one season, bringing Whiteheart back for his third year in Cleveland. The 26-year-old has not been on the fantasy football radar in his three seasons in the NFL, catching just eight of 15 targets for 55 yards and one touchdown in 30 games (six starts). He went undrafted out of Wake Forest before debuting in the NFL in 2023 with the Arizona Cardinals. Whiteheart had a career-high six catches for 51 yards and his only touchdown in 11 games (two starts) in his first year in Cleveland in 2024. He will return to block on offense while also contributing on special teams. David Njoku isn't going to return in free agency, but Harold Fannin Jr. will be the Browns' unquestioned top pass-catching TE in 2026 after his impressive rookie campaign.

Bauer Sharp News

Buccaneers Select Bauer Sharp with Pick No. 185

Saturday, April 25, 1:13 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected LSU tight end Bauer Sharp with the 185th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. A converted quarterback, Sharp began his collegiate career at Southeastern Louisiana with a stop at Oklahoma before his senior season in the bayou. He never topped 325 receiving yards or three touchdowns in a season, but he offers special teams experience, which will likely be his most direct path to finding an NFL field. His strong hands could make him a receiving option in a pinch, but he should not be viewed as a threat to eat into Cade Otton's still representable fantasy value.
