Oscar Delp May Open the Year at Bottom of Depth Chart

Friday, September 11, 7:02 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Oscar Delp (hamstring) has modest draft capital as a Day 2 pick, but he may still open the season as the No. 3 option on the depth chart. Juwan Johnson is the undisputed starter at tight end, offering legitimate top-10 upside. Noah Fant is also a candidate to emerge ahead of Delp in the pecking order. While that's far less of a sure thing, it seems somewhat reasonable given Fant's experience as a productive tight end in the NFL. On the other hand, Delp is still just a rookie, and at the moment, he's having trouble even staying on the field. The Georgia product still has some low-end upside in dynasty leagues long-term, but he can be dropped to waivers in all redraft leagues at this point. His path to relevance in 2026 features plenty of obstacles.

Tanner Koziol News

Tanner Koziol has Fantastic Offseason Program

Monday, June 22, 11:43 AM

John Shipley of Sports Illustrated writes that perhaps no Jacksonville Jaguars draft pick "garnered as much buzz" this offseason as fifth-round rookie tight end Tanner Koziol. The Jaguars took Texas A&M TE Nate Boerkircher in the second round (56th overall) and still have Brenton Strange at the position, but they are expected to involve more multiple-tight-end looks in 2026. Koziol's pass-catching prowess and refinement in the passing game helped him stand out immediately this offseason. In his four years in college (three years at Ball State and one at the University of Houston), he had 237 catches for 2,234 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns in 49 games played. His 74 catches last year with Houston led all TEs nationally, and his 727 receiving yards ranked second. There's no doubting what Koziol can do as a pass-catcher, but it will be hard for him to find playing time in head coach Liam Coen's offensive scheme if he doesn't offer value as a blocker as well. Right now, Koziol is an intriguing long-term prospect for those in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he could open his rookie year as the No. 3 TE in Jacksonville.
