Noah Gray to See Similar Usage to 2025 Season

Thursday, August 20, 7:31 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray could see a workload similar to what he had in 2025. Gray had a down year in 2025, hauling in just 21 of 37 targets for 178 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games. Despite playing over 50% of the snaps in each of the last four seasons, Gray didn't match the impact he had during the first three years of his NFL career. With Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and third-string tight end Jared Wiley all back and healthy, Gray may have a tough time being fantasy relevant this season. Even if future Hall-of-Fame tight end Travis Kelce suffers an injury that costs him playing time, Gray still doesn't offer enough upside to be a starting player on fantasy rosters in 2026.

Eli Raridon Converts Lone Target Into First Career Touchdown

Wednesday, September 9, 8:52 PM

New England Patriots tight end Eli Raridon converted his lone target into a two-yard touchdown reception against the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday night. Raridon's trip to the end zone initially gave the Patriots a 7-0 lead, but they eventually blew the lead and lost 13-10 in this Super Bowl matchup. Fantasy managers should feel encouraged that Raridon was not only used around the goal line, but also managed to get open in the end zone. However, it was somewhat concerning to see him targeted on just one of Drake Maye's 33 pass attempts. Raridon won't score a touchdown every week, so he'll need to carve out a much larger target share if he wants to stay on the fantasy radar in redraft leagues. For now, managers can leave him on the waiver wire heading into Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
