Noah Gray News
Tuesday, March 24, 5:13 AM
Since being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, tight end Noah Gray has been a popular dynasty stash in the hopes that he would one day assume at least part of Travis Kelce's volume-rich role in Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes' offense. With Kelce and the Chiefs agreeing to a three-year, $54.7 million extension on Monday, it would appear that Gray is entering year six in relatively charted territory. Kelce will be almost 37 years old at the start of the 2026 season, so Gray still carries some value as the rare tight end handcuff, but the future Hall of Famer has been incredibly durable throughout his career, missing only six games over his past 11 seasons despite working through a handful of injuries. Gray has 1,255 receiving yards and nine touchdowns over his five-year career, but he has not cracked lineups as a weekly TE1 since Week 15 of 2024.

Ja'Tavion Sanders News
Thursday, May 7, 5:26 AM
Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders can arguably be thrown into the category of 2026 offseason winners, but how that actually translates to his dynasty value remains to be seen. The Panthers were considered one of the most tight end-needy teams in the league, but in an NFL Draft that saw 21 tight ends come off the board, not one of them went to Carolina. Sanders led all Panthers tight ends with 29 receptions in 2025 and finished within 60 yards of Tommy Tremble despite missing five games with a high ankle sprain and later a broken ankle to end his season. All reports have him recovering well, and while calls are growing louder for a Jalen Coker breakout, there is still a serious lack of target competition behind 2025 Offensive Player of the Year Tetairoa McMillan. If Sanders can beat out Tremble and 2025 fifth-round pick Mitchell Evans as the team's primary pass-catcher at the position, there should be enough opportunity to make a modest fantasy impact. At RotoBaller's dynasty TE37, expectations are low, but if Sanders can take a step forward in year three, as used to be the norm before the recent tight end resurgence, he could be a low-cost add who offers usable depth moving forward.
