Seydou Traore News
Saturday, April 25, 12:50 PM
The Miami Dolphins have selected Mississippi State tight end Seydou Traore with the 180th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Traore was born in France but grew up in London, where he joined the NFL Academy as part of the league's International Pathway Program. He began his collegiate career at Arkansas State before transferring first to Colorado and then immediately to Mississippi State, forcing him to sit out the 2023 season as a double transfer. While he never topped his 49 receptions or 628 yards as a sophomore at Arkansas State, he scored a career-high five touchdowns in 2025. Still relatively new to the sport, Traore offers plus-athleticism and could find opportunities to find the field on a Dolphins offense that is reshaping itself on the fly. Miami spent a third-round pick on Ohio State tight end Will Kacmarek, who profiles more as an inline blocker, and they return fifth-year veteran Greg Dulcich after he caught 26 passes with the team in 2025.

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.
