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.

Mason Taylor Injures Thumb, Doesn't Get On Stat Sheet in Week 2 Loss

Sunday, September 20, 12:53 PM

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (thumb) exited Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers after sustaining an injury and failing to make it on the stat sheet. The second-round pick from the 2025 NFL Draft left Sunday's game late, and it is unclear what play he was injured on. Meanwhile, rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq had two catches for 17 yards in Sunday's effort, and wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught the receiving corps' only passing touchdown of the day. It is unclear whether Taylor will miss any time, though fantasy managers have surely moved on already given his lack of production.
