David Njoku News
Saturday, May 30, 8:25 AM
Los Angeles Chargers tight end David Njoku was one of the latest additions to the team, signing a one-year deal in mid-May, but he has a chance to make a legitimate fantasy impact in his tenth professional season. New Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel has found great success in recent seasons by involving his tight ends, and the room he has already helped to build in Los Angeles boasts a variety of skill sets. Free agent acquisition Charlie Kolar is one of the league's most impactful blockers, while second-year player Oronde Gadsden II flashed game-breaking athleticism as a rookie, but with Njoku being the most well-rounded of the three, he could become the most difficult to pull from the field. Coming off a down year and turning 30 before the start of training camp, he has fallen to dynasty TE26, making him a low-cost trade target. Having finished as the TE13 or better in three of the past four seasons, while playing in a low-scoring Browns offense, Njoku offers obvious short-term upside to contending managers.

Brenton Strange News
Saturday, April 25, 6:30 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange seemed like the clear-cut No. 1 option on the depth chart this offseason, and all signs pointed to him being a strong extension candidate. However, that perception has changed following this week's NFL Draft. The Jaguars made several tight end additions in the draft, selecting Texas A&M's Nate Boerkircher at No. 56 overall and Houston's Tanner Koziol at No. 164 overall. Boerkicher has more of a blocking skill set, but he's certainly capable of catching passes, too. Meanwhile, Koizol is a true pass-catcher who should compete for targets right away. Strange is clearly still the No. 1 tight end here, but there's now less confidence in his ability to fend off competition long-term. The Jaguars sent a clear message that they want some other tight ends to get involved going forward. It's possible that Strange hit his peak last year when he averaged 9.8 fantasy points per game. When extrapolated over 17 games, that's still good enough for a top-15 finish in PPR leagues. However, the new additions certainly place a cap on his long-term upside.
