Noah Gray News
Sunday, July 26, 9:50 AM
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray remains more valuable to his real-life team than to most dynasty managers. He played 545 offensive snaps last season, nearly half of Kansas City's total, but turned 37 targets into only 21 catches for 178 yards without a touchdown. That came one year after he posted career highs with 40 receptions, 437 yards, and five scores. The drop was not about getting pushed off the field. Gray simply did not see enough useful targets to repeat the fantasy production. Kansas City still lists him among its primary tight ends entering camp, but Travis Kelce remains the clear focus after catching 76 passes for 851 yards and five touchdowns in 2025. Jared Wiley is also entering his third season after playing only 28 offensive snaps last year. Gray can stay on deep contending rosters, particularly in tight end-premium leagues or as insurance for Kelce managers. Rebuilders have little reason to wait on a 27-year-old whose best season still produced modest volume. He is a hold in very deep formats, not a dynasty target.

Davis Allen News
Monday, August 3, 6:27 PM
Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen (quadriceps) is dealing with a quad injury at training camp, and head coach Sean McVay said that the team will give Allen "some time" before he returns to practice because it's a soft-tissue injury, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. "You don't want to rush him back," McVay said. "Davis is going to be a big part of what we do this year." The 25-year-old is coming off the best year of his career in 2025 in his third year, but he only caught 24 of his 33 targets for 208 yards and three touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (five starts) for L.A. McVay says that Allen will be a big part of the offense, but it's likely to come more in the form of blocking than as a fantasy-relevant pass-catcher. Allen will also have a hard time standing out in the box score with Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, and Terrance Ferguson all capable of pitching in on offense, too. Not to mention receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams drawing the vast majority of passing-game targets from quarterback Matthew Stafford. Allen won't be a factor in single-TE fantasy leagues.
