Jeremy Ruckert News
Wednesday, December 17, 9:45 AM
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday morning that the New York Jets have agreed to terms with young tight end Jeremy Ruckert, locking him in for the future. He gets a 2-year, $10M extension with upside to $11M. Ruckert, the fourth-year player out of Ohio State, has underwhelmed in the receiving game since joining the Jets. This year, he has hit career highs in receptions (20) and receiving yards (163), but was drafted in the third round and is an asset to the team primarily because of his willingness and effectiveness to block in the run game. The Jets now have Ruckert and a rookie out of LSU, Mason Taylor, as their top tight end options for years to come. From a fantasy football standpoint, Ruckert is well off the radar and shouldn't be rostered in any formats.

Brevyn Spann-Ford News
Wednesday, July 22, 4:35 PM
Dallas Cowboys tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford is expected to earn a spot on the 53-man roster in a backup role to top pass-catching TE Jake Ferguson in 2026, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Spann-Ford has played in all 17 games in both of his two NFL seasons in Dallas since joining the team as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Minnesota. The 26-year-old has mostly been used as a blocker on offense, though, so he hasn't been on the fantasy football radar at all. He has had exactly nine receptions in each of his first two seasons, combining for 178 yards and just one touchdown reception in 34 games played (five starts). Spann-Ford had 90 receiving yards and a touchdown catch last year, which included all five of his career starts. If Ferguson were to miss time due to an injury, Luke Schoonmaker, not Spann-Ford, would likely be the better waiver-wire target as a streaming tight end in fantasy.
