Happy Monday, everyone! I’m needing some football. And yes, I’ve been enjoying what other countries call football lately, but I am not enjoying this down part of the offseason right now where there is absolutely no NFL news. So, in the meantime, let’s create some on our own and take a look at the TE landscape as we near July! This Substack is reader-supported.

The Latest Fantasy Football News Tyler Warren — Tight End (IND) Colts asking for more from TE Tyler Warren this season FOX 59’s Mike Chappell reports that the Colts are asking for more from TE Tyler Warren this season. Warren led the team with 112 targets last season, joining former Colts WR Marvin Harrison (118) as the only rookies to lead the team in receiving in franchise history. Chappell notes that the Colts will need more from all of their pass catchers, with former No. 1 WR Michael Pittman Jr. now a Steeler, but he chose to build the article around Warren’s 2026 outlook, which says something. Warren has focused on exploding out of his breaks this offseason, in an effort to create more space from defenders as a route runner. If he can refine this aspect of his game, he should continue to generate explosive gains regularly this season. Warren is a TE1 in fantasy drafts, whose stock should increase as QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) continues making progress in his rehab. Tip Reiman — Tight End (ARI) Cardinals coach expects Tip Reiman to be ready for training camp Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said he expects TE Tip Reiman (ankle) to be “ready to roll” when training camp starts. Reiman is expected to be an “important cog in the offense” this year, as a reliable blocker in the run game. Per Cardinals team reporter Darren Urban, LaFleur has, unprompted, mentioned Reiman multiple times this offseason. LaFleur told Urban that he had a lot of respect for Reiman as a prospect and was excited to inherit Reiman when he accepted the Cardinals’ head coaching vacancy this offseason. Michael Wilson — Wide Receiver (ARI) Cardinals uncertain about future extension for Wilson Cardinals team reporter Darren Urban writes that he does not know when or if the team will extend WR Michael Wilson. Wilson posted top-four NFL receiving marks in targets (87), receptions (56), receiving yards (775) and receiving touchdowns (six) from Weeks 11-18, powering fantasy managers to fantasy titles along the way. When asked whether he planned to offer Wilson an extension, GM Monti Ossenfort said Wilson “is about everything we want in our program to be about, and hopefully he is here for a long time.” Jacoby Brissett — Quarterback (ARI) Cardinals reporter believes Brissett will start Week 1 vs. Chargers Cardinals team reporter Darren Urban believes QB Jacoby Brissett will start in Week 1 against the Chargers. Among the Cardinals’ currently rostered quarterbacks, Brissett is the clear-cut top starting option for fantasy purposes. While his play might not lead to wins, he can support at least two skill position players in the passing game. Urban acknowledges that although Brissett and the front office have still not come to terms on a fix to get Brissett back on the practice field, he still thinks Brissett is “the guy.” Adonai Mitchell — Wide Receiver (NYJ) Mitchell showing chemistry with Geno Smith in offseason practices The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt reports AD Mitchell has demonstrated “budding chemistry” with Geno Smith in offsea…
