Noah Fant News
Thursday, May 28, 12:59 PM
New Orleans Saints tight end Noah Fant is coming off one of the least productive seasons of his career in 2025, recording 34 receptions for 288 yards and three touchdowns on 41 targets across 15 games for the Cincinnati Bengals. While Fant's production was enough to land him a two-year, $8.75 million contract from the Saints, just $4.5 million of Fant's money is guaranteed. His playing time outlook in New Orleans is also highly uncertain, as Saints TE1 Juwan Johnson is coming off a breakout season and the team used a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on University of Georgia tight end Oscar Delp. As he enters his eighth year in the NFL, Fant has now failed to record more than 50 catches or 500 receiving yards in a season since 2021. Dynasty managers should feel comfortable dropping Fant as he enters his age-29 campaign.

Tucker Kraft News
Wednesday, May 27, 12:59 PM
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he is "hopeful" that tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) could be back "by training camp or during training camp," per Weston Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. Kraft is currently recovering from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season in Week 9. The 25-year-old looked to be on his way to a breakout season before the injury, recording 32 receptions for 489 yards and six touchdowns on 44 targets across eight games played. While Kraft hasn't been the highest-volume target-earner to this point in his career, his career average of 13.7 yards per reception is remarkably efficient for the tight end position. Additionally, Kraft could play an even larger role in the Green Bay offense in 2026 following the team's offseason subtractions of wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. Assuming Kraft remains on track in his recovery for the start of the 2026 season, he profiles as a steady fantasy TE1 with upside.
