Blake Whiteheart News

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.

Jared Wiley News

Jared Wiley Wearing Knee Brace at Minicamp

Wednesday, June 18, 12:52 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Jared Wiley (knee) is participating in individual drills at mandatory minicamp this week while wearing a brace on his surgically-repaired right knee. The fact that Wiley is even taking part in offseason workouts at all is pretty impressive after he suffered a torn ACL last November. The 24-year-old is doing well in his recovery, but he still may not be fully ready for training camp this summer or the start of the 2025 regular season in September. The former fourth-rounder (131st overall) last year will merely be competing for the No. 3 tight end spot with Robert Tonyan when he's fully healthy as depth behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray. In his first year in the NFL with the Chiefs in 2024, Wiley only appeared in seven regular-season games (two starts) and caught his only target for seven yards. He's nowhere near the fantasy radar.
