Zaire Mitchell-Paden News
Saturday, September 13, 6:27 PM
Baltimore Ravens tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Mitchell-Paden was elevated for the season opener as well, but failed to record a stat during the game. He played a total of 22 snaps, but really didn't do much with his time on the field. He'll serve as depth at tight end with Isaiah Likely (foot) sidelined again. He's unlikely to bring much to the table, but the absence of Likely means increase the fantasy value of Mark Andrews for Sunday's contest.

Marlin Klein News
Friday, April 24, 5:02 PM
The Houston Texans have selected University of Michigan tight end Marlin Klein with the 59th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Across 11 games with the Wolverines in 2025, Klein recorded 24 receptions for 248 yards and one touchdown. While Klein's collegiate numbers don't stand out, he's regarded as a high-upside developmental prospect. Klein won't necessarily be expected to contribute right away in Houston, as the Texans have Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover atop their tight end depth chart. As a result, Klein has more fantasy appeal in dynasty formats than redraft leagues for 2026.
