Luke Musgrave News
Wednesday, July 29, 11:42 AM
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said that tight end Luke Musgrave (neck) is dealing with a neck injury, and the team is proceeding cautiously while trying to determine if it's a long-term injury, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The Packers tend to be extra cautious with neck injuries, meaning it's unlikely that the 25-year-old will come off the Physically Unable to Perform list during training camp anytime soon. Fellow TE Tucker Kraft (knee) is also on the PUP list to start camp after tearing his ACL in Week 9 of last year, but all indications are that he should be ready to practice sooner rather than later. Musgrave failed to take advantage of Kraft's knee injury in 2025, catching 24 of his 31 targets for 252 yards and zero touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (10 starts), and the former second-rounder in 2023 from Oregon State has found the end zone just once in his three NFL seasons. Even if Musgrave is ready for the 2026 regular-season opener in early September, he'll be off the fantasy radar in all redraft formats as long as Kraft is active as well.

Eli Raridon News
Thursday, July 30, 10:15 AM
New England Patriots rookie third-round tight end Eli Raridon said at training camp on Thursday that things are slowing down for him, according to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. Raridon said it has been night and day from the spring. Even though the Patriots still have Hunter Henry as their top pass-catching tight end, and after they added receivers A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs in the offseason, Raridon could make an impact as a receiver in 2026 in his first year in the NFL. The 22-year-old should be considered the favorite for TE2 duties with Julian Hill (knee) already ruled out for the season. He needs to refine his blocking skills, but Raridon is certainly a young TE name to keep an eye on for those in deep fantasy leagues in 2026. Raridon has excellent size (6-foot-6, 245 pounds), athleticism, and speed to give New England another weapon to challenge opposing defenses down the field. He doesn't come without durability concerns, though, having already torn his ACL twice. Raridon is a fine TE to stash in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he can be ignored for now in most redraft formats.
