Texans Select Marlin Klein With 59th Overall Pick

Friday, April 24, 5:02 PM

The Houston Texans have selected University of Michigan tight end Marlin Klein with the 59th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Across 11 games with the Wolverines in 2025, Klein recorded 24 receptions for 248 yards and one touchdown. While Klein's collegiate numbers don't stand out, he's regarded as a high-upside developmental prospect. Klein won't necessarily be expected to contribute right away in Houston, as the Texans have Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover atop their tight end depth chart. As a result, Klein has more fantasy appeal in dynasty formats than redraft leagues for 2026.

Justin Joly News

Justin Joly Claimed by Dolphins

Monday, August 31, 10:14 AM

Tight end Justin Joly has been claimed off waivers from the Denver Broncos, according to Mike Klis. Denver traded up to select Joly 152nd overall in April, but the fifth-round rookie was waived Sunday during final cuts. He did leave the Broncos with one big preseason highlight, catching an 88-yard touchdown against Minnesota in the finale. Joly finished August with five receptions for 105 yards and one score. The 22-year-old caught 49 passes for 489 yards and seven touchdowns at NC State last season and was viewed coming out of college as a movable receiving tight end who could work from several alignments. Miami initially kept Greg Dulcich, Will Kacmarek, Ben Sims and Seydou Traore at the position, so Joly joins another crowded group. Dulcich remains the most established receiving option, leaving Joly without an obvious immediate fantasy role, but Miami gives the rookie another developmental opportunity after his brief stay in Denver.
