David Njoku News
Tuesday, June 23, 8:50 AM
After spending the first nine seasons of his NFL career with the Cleveland Browns, veteran tight end David Njoku signed a one-year contract for the 2026 campaign with the Los Angeles Chargers in May. Njoku's production declined significantly in 2025, as he missed five games with a knee injury and finished the year with 33 catches for 293 yards and four touchdowns on 48 targets. Njoku also had his role in the Browns' offense largely usurped by tight end Harold Fannin Jr., whose emergence as a rookie in 2025 made Njoku largely expendable. Njoku could now be facing a similar dynamic in Los Angeles, as he will be sharing the field with up-and-coming Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden II. The Chargers should provide a significantly healthier offensive ecosystem for Njoku than the Browns did, which could lead to a production boost even in a limited role. Still, Njoku's upside appears to be capped as long as Gadsden II remains healthy. As Njoku enters his age-30 season, his dynasty value appears to be at an all-time low.

Mason Taylor News
Thursday, June 25, 8:51 AM
A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor recorded 44 receptions for 369 yards and a touchdown on 65 targets across 13 games as a rookie. While Taylor's numbers may not leap off the page, he actually led the team in catches while playing with the highly underwhelming quarterback trio of Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook. Despite Taylor's encouraging rookie year, New York used a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on tight end Kenyon Sadiq. However, Sadiq's high-end athleticism may allow him to play more like a slot receiver than a traditional in-line tight end, which could allow him and Taylor to share the field consistently. Taylor's dynasty outlook has definitely taken a hit since the Jets drafted Sadiq, but this may be an opportunity for dynasty managers to buy super low on a talented player who is still just 22 years old.
