Zach Ertz Plans to Return for 14th Season

Tuesday, February 24, 5:40 AM

Three-time Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz (knee) plans to return in 2026 for a 14th NFL season and is expected to be cleared right around Week 1, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Ertz, who will be a free agent next month, is two months into rehab from a torn ACL. The 35-year-old veteran ranks fifth in catches and eighth in yards among tight ends in NFL history, including 50 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games last before before suffering his season-ending knee injury in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 7. Given his age and uncertainty about whether he'll actually be 100% ready to play in the season opener this fall, Ertz's fantasy stock will drop considerably going into the 2026 season. In his first year in Washington in 2024, Ertz had a 66-654-7 line in 17 games played.

Hunter Henry News

Hunter Henry's Long-Term Future in New England in Question After NFL Draft?

Sunday, May 3, 11:37 AM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was a steady contributor in 2025, hauling in 60 receptions for 768 yards and seven touchdowns on 87 targets across 17 games. The veteran established excellent red zone chemistry with Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and led New England in touchdown catches. However, Henry's long-term future with the Patriots may be in question after New England used a third-round pick on Notre Dame tight end Eli Raridon in the 2026 NFL Draft. While Henry still projects to open the upcoming year atop the Patriots' tight end depth chart, 2026 will be his age-32 season and is also the final season on his current contract. In dynasty formats, Henry's value is in question following the NFL Draft.
