Cade Stover Avoids ACL Damage

Wednesday, January 21, 8:44 PM

Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover's (knee) MRI exam showed no damage to his ACL, a league source told Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Sports. Stover was unable to make much happen after fellow tight end Dalton Schultz (calf) left the Divisional Round loss to the New England Patriots before getting hurt himself in the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old caught one of his three targets for only two yards. The good news is that Stover should be a full-go for training camp in the summer and for Week 1 of the regular season in the fall. In his second year in the league, the former fourth-rounder caught just 12 passes for 76 yards and no touchdowns on 16 targets in nine regular-season games. As long as Schultz is healthy going into the start of the season, Stover won't be fantasy relevant. He had a 15-133-1 line in 15 games in 2024 in his rookie campaign.

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.
