David Njoku News
Tuesday, March 3, 7:11 AM
The Philadelphia Eagles are interested in Cleveland Browns impending free-agent tight end David Njoku, league sources told Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com. Dallas Goedert will also be a free agent soon, and Njoku would give the Eagles one of the best athletes in the league and would finally give Njoku an elite, consistent quarterback to play with for the first time in his career, writes Shorr-Parks. The 29-year-old former first-rounder in 2017 out of the University of Miami took a big step back in 2025 with the emergence of rookie TE Harold Fannin Jr. in Cleveland. Njoku had just 33 catches for 293 yards and four touchdowns on 48 targets in 12 games played. His fantasy football stock is obviously way down, but a bounce back would be expected if he were to join the Eagles as their top pass-catching tight end. It's something to keep an eye on in free agency.

Pat Freiermuth News
Wednesday, March 4, 2:21 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth's fantasy value in both redraft and dynasty/keeper leagues should be higher going into the 2026 season with the news that the Steelers are releasing Jonnu Smith. In offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's run-first, two-tight-end system last year, Freiermuth regressed, catching 41 of 54 targets for 486 yards and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (eight starts). Darnell Washington (forearm) also cut into Freirmuth's production. New head coach Mike McCarthy should be much friendlier to Freiermuth for fantasy purposes next season, even if the team's quarterback situation is currently unsettled. Depending on what direction the Steelers go in at QB, Freiermuth will be a TE1 sleeper this fall. In dynasty/keeper leagues, he's a decent buy-low target. Freiermuth already has two seasons with seven touchdown catches, including his rookie year in 2021.
