Chris Manhertz News
Free-agent tight end Chris Manhertz is signing with the New York Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Giants have Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger on the roster and signed former Philadelphia Eagles tight end Jack Stoll this week, so the position is getting crowded behind Waller. Manhertz has caught just 26 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns in his eight-year career with the Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Denver Broncos, so he will not be on the fantasy radar in 2024. He is primarily a blocking tight end, and he could be buried on the depth chart.
The Denver Broncos reached an agreement with former Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Chris Manhertz on a two-year, $6 million deal on Monday that includes $3.34 million guaranteed, according to his agent. Manhertz has mostly been a blocking tight end in his NFL career, so he's unlikely to move the fantasy needle in 2023. The 30-year-old spent the last two years with the Jaguars and had a combined 12 receptions on 17 targets for 113 yards and one touchdown in 34 games (21 starts). In Denver, Greg Dulcich and Albert Okwuegbunam should be the team's top pass-catching tight ends, but Manhertz will bring a blocking presence to the position. In his seven NFL seasons, Manhertz has only 24 receptions for 255 yards and two touchdowns.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Chris Manhertz caught his only pass for a 22-yard touchdown in the team's 37-21 Week 1 defeat against the Houston Texans. Manhertz will forever live on Trevor Lawrence's highlight reel as the recipient of the rookie's first career touchdown pass, but he was a non-factor for most of the game. As he has for most of his career, Manhertz mostly served as a blocker in this one while James O'Shaughnessy functioned as the preferred receiving tight end. Despite catching the touchdown pass, Manhertz is firmly off the radar in all fantasy formats, and Jacob Hollister's presumed debut next week only limits his chances of changing that.
