Johnny Mundt News
Tuesday, March 10, 6:03 PM
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed tight end Johnny Mundt to a one-year deal, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Mundt is primarily known for his blocking, as he caught just nine passes and scored zero touchdowns across 16 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025. Released by the Jaguars last week, Mundt possesses nine years of NFL experience with stops in Los Angeles (Rams), Minnesota, and Jacksonville. He'll offer much-needed depth for the Eagles, who entered this offseason with their top three tight ends slated for free agency. Philadelphia already re-signed Grant Calcaterra, but Dallas Goedert and Kylen Granson are still unrestricted free agents. If neither Goedert nor Granson returns, Mundt would slot in as the team's No. 2 tight end, at least for the time being. Even so, his proficiency as a blocker limits his receiving upside and keeps him off the fantasy radar in most leagues.

Darnell Washington News
Wednesday, February 25, 10:56 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington (forearm) ended the 2025 season with surgery on his broken forearm, but he is looking to bounce back in the final year of his contract in 2026. Despite some highlight reel stiff arms and one TE8 finish in Week 11, Washington mainly played behind fellow tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith. The Steelers are expected to move on from Smith during free agency, which is likely to benefit Washington. Despite Washington's size, he was on the field for more than just run blocking, boasting a 40% route run participation rate and hauled in 31 of his 43 targets for 364 yards and a touchdown in 2025. However, the 24-year-old out of Georgia primarily holds value only in deep dynasty leagues with tight end premium scoring due to his position behind Freiermuth on the depth chart.
