Drew Sample News
Saturday, September 27, 2:08 PM
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Drew Sample has only three catches this season, with one resulting in a trip to the end zone. The 29-year-old has logged more snaps than Mike Gesicki and Noah Fant (foot) through the first three weeks of the 2025 campaign. However, both have received more attention from quarterbacks Joe Burrow (toe) and Jake Browning. The Bengals offense is a mess, which has been a surprise to most. As a result, it's hard to trust anyone on that side of the ball. Granted, Sample should continue to lead the position in snaps, especially with his abilities as a blocker. Still, while he will likely add a few more scores to his resume before the end of the season, he's not consistent enough to be considered a starting fantasy option in any format in Week 4 versus the Broncos.

Eli Raridon News
Sunday, October 4, 11:51 AM
New England Patriots tight end Eli Raridon (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills, according to Taylor Kyles. It's a second injury concern in as many weeks for the rookie, who missed Week 3 against Jacksonville with a thigh injury. Raridon was limited in all three practices leading into Sunday and was active after carrying a questionable designation. He entered the game with two catches for 32 yards and a touchdown through his first two NFL appearances.
