Ko Kieft News
Friday, March 13, 11:27 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht announced on Friday that the team agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal to bring tight end Ko Kieft (leg) back for the 2026 season. Kieft suffered a leg injury in Week 3 of last season and never played again. The 28-year-old former sixth-round selection by the Bucs out of Minnesota in 2022 has played for the team the last four years, catching only eight passes on 15 targets for 82 yards and two touchdowns. Both of his scores came in his first two years in the league. Kieft will return to Tampa for a fifth season, but he won't be anywhere on the fantasy football radar. He will most likely enter the 2026 regular season this fall as the TE3 behind both Cade Otton and Payne Durham. Kieft's best year was his rookie campaign in 2022, when he had seven catches for 80 yards and a touchdown. He hasn't caught a pass since 2023.

Gunnar Helm News
Wednesday, April 15, 4:09 PM
A fourth-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm worked his way into a regular role in his team's offense as a rookie. Across 16 games, the 23-year-old recorded 44 receptions for 357 yards and two touchdowns on 55 targets. Helm split playing time with veteran tight end Chig Okonkwo, which limited the production upside for both players. However, Okonkwo signed with the Washington Commanders in free agency, opening the door for Helm to emerge as the Titans' clear lead tight end. While Tennessee signed wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson over the offseason, the Titans do not have any other clear high-volume target-earners standing in Helm's way. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues may want to consider buying low on Helm ahead of a potential 2026 breakout.
