Chris Manhertz News
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.
Jacksonville Jaguars veteran tight end Chris Manhertz is taking charge of the team's tight end room that lacks established passing-game contributors at the NFL level. Per SI's John Shipley, "Manhertz is Jacksonville's appointed leader of the tight end room," and "he is seeing more targets with the starting offense and being asked to win as a route-runner on a more frequent basis." Manhertz has dominated as a blocker throughout his five-year career, but he's only amassed 12 receptions in that time. Manhertz and the team are clearly looking for him to at least triple his career reception total this season, but it remains to be seen if he is actually capable of doing so. Manhertz is off the radar in fantasy leagues at this point in time, but he could be a factor if he becomes Trevor Lawrence's preferred TE target on the team.
