Is Matthew Hibner the Tight End of the Future in Baltimore?

Saturday, May 2, 11:08 AM

The Baltimore Ravens made an aggressive move in the fourth round of the 2026 Draft, trading up to acquire SMU tight end Matthew Hibner. Across 13 games as a fifth-year senior in 2025, Hibner hauled in 31 receptions for 436 yards and four touchdowns. The Ravens have veteran tight end Mark Andrews firmly atop their depth chart, and they also signed tight end Durham Smythe in free agency. However, Baltimore lost key depth at the position over the offseason, with Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar both departing the team in free agency. Along with Ravens' fifth-round selection Josh Cuevas, Hibner should have a chance to play a prominent role alongside Andrews as a rookie. Andrews is also entering his age-31 season in 2026, so Hibner could emerge as Baltimore's tight end of the future with a solid rookie campaign. In dynasty leagues, Hibner is a name for managers to monitor.

Broncos Bolster Tight End Room With Justin Joly

Saturday, April 25, 10:42 AM

The Denver Broncos have selected North Carolina State tight end prospect Justin Joly with the 152nd overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Joly was a four-year contributor in college, splitting his NCAA career at UConn and NC State. Over his last two seasons, he caught 92 passes for 1,150 yards and 11 touchdowns, mostly against ACC competition. Tight end Evan Engram had an underwhelming 2025 season from a fantasy football perspective, and now that he's headed into a contract year, it's time for the Broncos to begin looking for his replacement. Despite being a Day 3 pick, Joly could be the Broncos' eventual successor to Engram. He'll use 2026 as a developmental campaign before perhaps ascending into a larger role in 2027. He's not on the redraft radar at the moment, but there could be some dynasty appeal in deeper leagues.
