  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Shakes off rust with two grabs

    Kelce corralled two of three targets for 32 yards in Friday's preseason loss to Chicago.

    A slimmer Kelce made his preseason debut Friday after sitting out the Chiefs' first two exhibitions. The 35-year-old decided to lace up for a 13th season after his team was unceremoniously bounced from the Super Bowl by the Eagles in 2024. Kelce's numbers have been steadily declining since his last 1,000-yard season back in 2022. That said, an over-the-hill Kelce still warrants fantasy consideration at a very shallow position.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Not dressed Friday

    Ferguson isn't suited up ahead of Friday's preseason game versus the Falcons, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Ferguson thus won't see any action during exhibition season, though his standing as the Cowboys' No. 1 TE was intact all along, especially after inking a four-year, $52 million extension in the early stages of training camp. He's combined for 130 catches (on 188 targets) for 1,255 yards and five touchdowns in 31 regular-season games over the last two years, but he'll have a bit more competition for targets in 2025 following the addition of George Pickens to the WR room this offseason.

  • Dalton Keene TE | HOU

    Dalton Keene: Gets cut with injury settlement

    Houston cut Keene (hamstring) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Keene joined Brevin Jordan (knee) on the Texans' injured reserve list with a hamstring injury less than two weeks ago, and now Keene is on track to become a free agent. Once he's back healthy, he'll be free to sign with another squad and suit up right away.

  • Giants' Thomas Fidone: Catches TD in preseason finale

    Fidone caught four of five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in a 42-10 preseason win against the Patriots on Thursday.

    Fidone's touchdown came on a three-yard strike from Tommy DeVito in the third quarter. However, the tight end's most impressive play was arguably a 28-yard connection with DeVito early in the fourth quarter that finished just shy of the end zone, setting up a one-yard TD pass from DeVito to another tight end (Greg Dulcich). Fidone's performance capped a strong preseason three-game slate during which he caught eight of nine targets for 64 yards. While the Giants have a pretty crowded tight-end room, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post projects Fidone to make the team's initial 53-man roster, potentially as New York's third option at the position behind Theo Johnson and Chris Manhertz in a scenario that includes Daniel Bellinger being moved via trade.

  • Kevin Foelsch TE | PIT

    Kevin Foelsch: Parts ways with Steelers

    Pittsburgh cut Foelsch on Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Foelsch has spent time with the Panthers, Jets, Eagles, Chiefs and Steelers since going undrafted out of New Haven in 2024, but he's still searching for a chance to make his regular-season debut. The second-year tight end will likely end up finding a spot on a practice squad this season.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Among starters rested Thursday

    Henry didn't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants.

    After logging six snaps in the Patriots' preseason opener, Henry didn't see action in the team's final two exhibition tilts, with an eye toward keeping him healthy ahead of Week 1. Henry, who is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a receiving line of 66/674/2 on 97 targets in 16 games, approaches the coming campaign as New England's top pass-catching option in a TE corps that also returns Austin Hooper, who recorded 45 catches on 59 targets while working in tandem with Henry last year.

  • Cole Fotheringham: Time up in New England

    The Patriots waived Fotheringham on Friday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

    Fotheringham went undrafted out of Utah back in 2022, spent his rookie year on Las Vegas' practice squad, then suited up for two regular-season games with the Raiders in 2023. Since then, he's logged stints with the Texans, Broncos and Patriots, but he didn't get a chance to suit up for regular-season action with any of those clubs and won't make New England's initial 53-man roster.

  • Jaheim Bell TE | NE

    Jaheim Bell: Waived by Patriots

    New England waived Bell on Friday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

    The Patriots knew Bell was a developmental selection when nabbing him in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, so he seems a likely candidate to resurface on the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Across 15 regular-season appearances as a rookie, Bell totaled two catches for 20 yards on three targets, and his one game with double-digit offensive snaps came Week 18 against Buffalo.

  • Greg Dulcich TE | NYG

    Giants' Greg Dulcich: Scores two TDs

    Dulcich caught each of his four targets for 26 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over the Patriots.

    It's not a great sign to be playing so much in the second half of the final preseason game, although Dulcich did score the first of his two TDs on New York's first drive. The second came midway through the fourth quarter, at which point most of the players on the field were guys with no real chance at making the Week 1 roster. Dulcich at least has some shot, and the strong showing Thursday night helps his odds to catch on elsewhere or get a practice-squad spot even if he doesn't survive cutdown day.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Catches two passes

    Freiermuth caught both of his targets for six yards in Thursday's 19-10 preseason win over Carolina.

    With Jonnu Smith still sidelined by a knee injury that the Steelers consider minor, Freiermuth didn't have much competition for first-team TE snaps on the first three drives. He suited up along with most other starters, although QB Aaron Rodgers and WR DK Metcalf were held out ahead of a Week 1 matchup with the Jets. The fantasy outlook for Freiermuth was more promising before Pittsburgh traded for Smith this summer, but Freiermuth may still get most of the work in clear passing situations.
