Grant Calcaterra News
Tuesday, March 10, 6:29 PM
The Philadelphia Eagles are re-signing tight end Grant Calcaterra to a one-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Philadelphia entered this offseason with its top three tight ends all slated to hit unrestricted free agency. While Dallas Goedert and Kylen Granson remain unsigned, Philadelphia at least brought back one key player at the position in Calcaterra. They also made an external move, signing ex-Jaguars blocking tight end Johnny Mundt. There's still plenty of offseason remaining for Philadelphia to strengthen the position group, and we can't rule out a Goedert return. As it stands at this very second, though, Calcaterra projects as the Eagles' No. 1 tight end. The 27-year-old might not be ready to make that jump after he caught just nine passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in 2025. On a more positive note, he did have 24 catches, 298 yards, and one touchdown back in 2024. He fits best as a backup tight end who can make an occasional spot start here or there, so we wouldn't be surprised to see the Eagles bring back Goedert or pursue a different No. 1 tight end via free agency, trade, or the NFL Draft.

AJ Barner News
Monday, May 4, 10:35 AM
Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner emerged as a red zone weapon in 2025, recording 52 receptions for 519 yards and six touchdowns on 68 targets across 17 games. Seattle also used the 24-year-old as its "tush push" quarterback, which allowed Barner to pick up an extra touchdown as a rusher. All told, Barner finished as the TE14 in half-PPR fantasy scoring. However, despite the solid year, Barner may profile as a sell-high candidate in dynasty leagues heading into 2026. For one, he remained a low-volume receiver in 2025, averaging just four targets per game. Additionally, the Seahawks could expand the role of 2025 second-round tight end Elijah Arroyo, who likely offers a higher upside as a pass-catcher than Barner. Barner's rushing usage gives him some additional fantasy upside, but he's likely too reliant on touchdowns to be counted on as a reliable producer at the tight end position going forward.
