Signed by the Houston Texans, Foster Moreau operates as the clear backup to starting tight end Dalton Schultz. After an injury-riddled stint ending his time with the New Orleans Saints, his role remains entirely blocking-focused. Schultz recently signed an extension and continues to dominate the passing targets in Houston, so we really don't expect Moreau to eat into Moreau's target share. He maxes out at roughly 3 to 4 targets per game, yielding very little yardage or touchdown upside. Moreau’s target share and low offensive snap counts make him completely off the fantasy radar unless an injury occurs..
After signing a one-year, $3.25 million deal to return to the Atlanta Falcons, Austin Hooper slots in as the primary backup and mentor to starting tight end Kyle Pitts. Last season with the Patriots, Hooper caught just 21 passes for 263 yards and two touchdowns, primarily sharing the field with Hunter Henry. Hooper was brought in to bolster the Falcons' offense with veteran experience and blocking rather than as a primary pass-catcher. He will only see the field in tight end sets and as an emergency backup. We project Hooper for around 20-23 catches for just over 200 yards. He is completely off the radar in standard 10-12 team leagues. He remains nothing more than a desperation dart-throw in deep, TE-premium formats or in the event of a severe injury ahead of him.
Fant signed a two-year deal with the Saints this offseason. With the Saints already featuring tight end Juwan Johnson - not to mention receivers Chris Olave and rookies Jordyn Tyson, Barion Brown and Oscar Delp - it will be hard for Fant to earn consistent targets. He should not be drafted in Fantasy leagues.
Daniel Bellinger signed with the Tennessee Titans in the off-season. Bellinger reunites with former Giants head coach and current Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. He is likely to remain in more of a role as a blocker. In other words, nothing in the way of fantasy value.
Charlie Kolar signed a three-year, $24 million contract with the Los Angeles Chargers to serve as an elite, block-first tight end. Sitting behind primary receivers Oronde Gadsden II and David Njoku, he is primarily an option for deep best-ball or tight end premium leagues. The Chargers are utilizing Kolar heavily on the line in heavy sets, which allows him to open up running lanes while keeping pass-catching duties open for Gadsden. He is competing for targets in a crowded tight-end room alongside David Njoku and Gadsden II. While new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel often runs multi-TE sets, the primary bulk of Kolar's utility is as a blocker rather than a high-volume pass-catcher. Because his fantasy ceiling is capped, you should avoid drafting Kolar in standard formats.
After signing with the Baltimore Ravens, his primary role is inline blocking. Coming off a 2025 season where he recorded just four catches for 25 yards with the Chicago Bears, he remains firmly off the fantasy radar.
The glass-half-full take on Chig Okonkwo 2026 fantasy outlook is that a move from Tennessee to Washington could lead to a career-best fantasy performance. Okonkwo has dealt with some pretty shoddy quarterbacking over his four NFL seasons, and now he'll be playing with QB Jayden Daniels in a Commanders offense that lacks proven pass-catching talent beyond WR Terry McLaurin. The glass-half-empty take is that if Okonkwo were going to pop as a potentially impactful fantasy TE, we would have seen more signs of an impending breakout by now. Even with the Titans thin on WR talent last season, Okonkwo could muster only a 14.9% target share, and his numbers weren't substantially better than those of fourth-round rookie Gunnar Helm. Okonkwo has had 54, 52 and 56 receptions over the last three years, and he had a career-high 560 receiving yards in 2025, but he's never scored more than three TDs in a season. Okonkwo is an intriguing sleeper at tight end, but it would be reckless to count on him as a fantasy starter.
After spending the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Ravens, Isaiah Likely signed a three-year, $40 million contract with the Giants. Likely shared targets with Mark Andrews for four years and could see increased usage with his new team. The Giants are thin at wide receiver behind young star Malik Nabers, and Nabers has been slow to recover from an ACL tear sustained last September, leaving his early-season status in question. Likely's best season with the Ravens was in 2024, when he had 42 catches for 477 yards and six TDs. He never saw more than 60 targets in any of his four seasons in Baltimore. The world saw Likely's potential when he had nine catches for 111 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' nationally televised season opener against the Chiefs. With an expected target increase in 2026, Likely has a chance to be a top-10 fantasy tight end.
