Evan Engram News
Tuesday, June 9, 5:37 AM
Having never been a true red zone threat and relying ever more on volume to remain fantasy viable, Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram has seen his dynasty value drop precipitously since turning 30. Working through some early-season injuries, but still managing to play in 16 games, Engram finished his first year in Denver with only one touchdown and the second-lowest yards per route run of his nine-year career, converting his still respectable 71 targets into only 461 receiving yards. With the Broncos trading for a wide receiver in Jaylen Waddle, who has been most successful in catch-and-run situations, and spending two of their seven 2026 draft picks on the tight end position, expectations are low for Engram heading into his 10th season. Set to turn 32 before the start of the year, he is RotoBaller's dynasty TE39 and looks to be little more than end-of-the-roster depth at this point in his career.

George Kittle News
Thursday, June 4, 12:27 PM
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (Achilles) said he is "on track" to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Kittle tore his Achilles tendon on January 11 during San Francisco's NFC Wild Card round win over the Philadelphia Eagles. However, it appears as though the 32-year-old has a chance to get back on the field roughly eight months after the injury. Kittle battled through an injury-marred 2025 regular season even before the Achilles tear, missing six games due to ankle and hamstring injuries. However, the veteran tight end remained highly productive when healthy, recording 57 receptions for 628 yards and seven touchdowns on 69 targets. With Kittle coming off a serious injury and entering his age-33 campaign, it's fair to project a bit of decline in his production. Still, he profiles as a top-12 fantasy tight end if he can truly make it back for the start of 2026.
