Juwan Johnson News
Saturday, September 12, 12:50 PM
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson had the best season of his career in 2025, recording 77 catches for 889 yards and three touchdowns on 102 targets across 17 games. With Saints rookie wideout Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) on Injured Reserve to begin the year, Johnson appears set to open 2026 as the number two option in the New Orleans passing game behind only star wide receiver Chris Olave. In Week 1, Johnson and the Saints will travel to Detroit to take on the Lions. The Lions fielded a slightly below-average pass defense against tight ends in 2025, allowing the 13th-most fantasy points to the position. However, Detroit will be without starting safeties Brian Branch (Achilles) and Kerby Joseph (knee) to begin the year, and the team lost top coverage linebacker Alex Anzalone to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in free agency. With a favorable matchup against the Lions, Johnson profiles as a low-end TE1 option for fantasy managers in Week 1.

Dalton Kincaid News
Wednesday, September 16, 10:00 AM
After leading all tight ends with 2.77 yards per route run in 2025, the bull case for Buffalo Bills fourth-year player Dalton Kincaid was clear if better health could lead to more involvement in 2026. In Week 1, he ran the second-most routes on the team and sacrificed nothing in the way of efficiency, again leading the position with an astonishing 5.65 yards per route run. Kincaid finished the week as the fantasy TE5 and was the only player in the top 14 to get there without a touchdown. Should his health allow him to become the focal point of the offense he was drafted to be as a first-round pick in 2023, a top-five season is very much in the cards, and Kincaid is RotoBaller's TE4 heading into a Week 2 matchup with the Lions.
