Sam Roush News
Friday, April 24, 5:38 PM
The Chicago Bears have selected Stanford tight end prospect Sam Roush with the 69th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He joins a relatively crowded tight end room that already features 2025 first-rounder Colston Loveland and veteran Cole Kmet. There's still a fit for Roush here, as he's more of a blocker while the Bears' returning tight ends excel as pass catchers. With that being said, he did get more involved as a receiver during his final season at school, catching 49 passes for 545 yards and two touchdowns. He excelled most in pass blocking, where he posted a 68.8 PFF grade. With Loveland and Kmet presumably ahead of Roush on the depth chart, it might be a little while before the Stanford product makes a consistent fantasy impact. He entered the draft outside the top 85 tight ends in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, and he figures to remain an afterthought in fantasy football because of the landing spot.

Jack Endries News
Friday, June 19, 5:26 AM
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Jack Endries was a seventh-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and while the depth chart in front of him is not insurmountable, he still faces a long road to making an NFL roster. Endries was the 19th of 22 tight ends selected in April, and while the league is moving toward heavier personnel usage, Cincinnati was one of the least efficient teams in 2025 when operating with multiple tight ends on the field. Mike Gesicki's contract runs through 2027, and 2024 fourth-round pick Erick All Jr. is steadily gaining steam as he works his way back from the complicated ACL injury that caused him to miss all of the 2025 season. Drew Sample has played 95 games for the team over his seven-year career and would appear to be locked into his dedicated blocking role. Should the Bengals opt to keep four tight ends, Endries would still need to beat out Tanner Hudson, and even then, as the third or fourth tight end on an offense run through wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, there is no realistic path to fantasy relevance. At RotoBaller's dynasty TE44, Endries is not a player who needs to be rostered in most leagues.
