Darren Waller News
Friday, August 21, 9:02 AM
Carolina Panthers tight end Darren Waller is in phenomenal shape heading into the 2026 season. Waller said his conditioning is "Night and day" compared to last season. Waller reportedly tore his quad two weeks after unretiring and signing with the Miami Dolphins last season, which kept him out for eight games in 2025. Despite the injuries and the Dolphins' lackluster passing attack, Waller still managed 283 yards and six touchdowns in nine games. Now in Carolina, head coach Dave Canales is excited about what Waller brings to the table, saying, "It's a unique element that he brings to whatever offense he's been a part of." Currently ranked TE35 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Waller looks primed for a solid season that should surpass his ADP in 2026.

Dalton Kincaid News
Friday, August 21, 6:59 PM
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid's "health, summer usage, and ability are all trending towards an enhanced role in 2026," per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Kincaid was a productive player on a per-target basis in 2025, recording 39 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 49 targets across 12 games. However, the 26-year-old has missed nine games due to injuries over the past two seasons. The Bills also limited his usage in games where he was active in 2025, as Kincaid played fewer than 50% of his team's offensive snaps in 11 out of 14 contests (including the playoffs) last season. However, Buscaglia reports that Kincaid was one of the stars of Buffalo's joint practice session with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday, and that Kincaid's production has stood out all summer long. If Kincaid can finally put together a fully healthy year, he could be on the verge of a long-awaited breakout season for fantasy managers.
