Brayden Willis News
Saturday, December 27, 6:41 PM
San Francisco 49ers tight end Brayden Willis has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 17 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The elevation of Willis is not a good sign for fellow tight end George Kittle (ankle), who is questionable for this contest. The fact that Willis was brought up means Kittle is most likely going to miss this weekend's game. If Kittle sits, Jake Tonges figures to operate as the primary tight end in this offense. Tonges posted some decent performances earlier in the season when Kittle was sidelined. He could offer some streaming appeal to tight-end-needy fantasy managers, assuming Kittle is unable to play.

Brenton Strange News
Wednesday, June 10, 10:05 AM
Sports Illustrated's John Shipley writes that the Jacksonville Jaguars "clearly have some big plans" for tight ends Brenton Strange and rookie Nate Boerkircher. The Jags also added Tanner Koziol in the fifth round of April's NFL draft, but there "should not be questions" about Strange's role and value. The Jaguars are clearly hoping that injecting the TE room with talent should allow Strange "to produce at an even higher level than before." The 25-year-old was the team's do-everything man at the position in 2025, catching a career-high 46 passes for 540 yards and three touchdowns on 60 targets in 12 regular-season starts in his third year in the league. He was a versatile chess piece for Jacksonville's offense in both the running and passing game, and it was notable that the team lost three of their four regular-season games when Strange was out due to injury. With two rookies to help take the pressure off, more should be expected from Strange in 2026, making him an intriguing late-round flier as a TE2 with upside for fantasy managers.
