Noah Gray Waiting His Turn in Kansas City

Sunday, August 9, 6:58 PM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray remains the second-string tight end, working behind future Hall-of-Famer Travis Kelce. After back-to-back strong seasons in 2024 and 2025, Gray struggled last season, hauling in 21 of 37 targets for 178 yards and no touchdowns. When asked what he's learning from the veteran tight end, Gray said, "I'm privileged to be on the same team as him, to pick his mind, to watch him continue to make great plays; that's just the type of player and dude he is." With Kelce remaining the team's TE1, Gray will need to bounce back to his previous form to have any fantasy relevance in 2026. He remains a late-round dynasty option, with Kelce expected to contemplate retirement after the season.

Eli Stowers News

Eli Stowers Listed as TE3 on Eagles' First Unofficial Depth Chart

Wednesday, August 12, 11:46 AM

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Eli Stowers is listed as the TE3 on the team's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason. Dallas Goedert sits at the top, with veteran Johnny Mundt second and Stowers third. The order is notable after Philadelphia used the 54th overall pick on Stowers in April, but it should not be treated as a final call on his role. The Eagles state that the depth chart is compiled by their communications department, and there is still plenty of preseason left for things to move around. Stowers caught 62 passes for 769 yards and four touchdowns at Vanderbilt last season and won the Mackey Award. He has also had a relatively quiet start to his first NFL camp, while Mundt has drawn praise for his blocking and familiarity with the offense. Stowers remains an intriguing long-term receiving talent, but he has some ground to make up before Week 1.
