The San Francisco 49ers cut tight end Niles Paul on Friday. With stud tight end George Kittle and rookie Kaden Smith in the fold, the Niners opted to waive the veteran and sign free-agent tight end Daniel Helm instead. Paul will likely get another shot with an NFL team but hes miles from fantasy relevance. The eight-year pro hasnt surpassed 100 receiving yards in any season since 2014, when he totaled 507 yards with the Washington Redskins.
The San Francisco 49ers are signing tight end Niles Paul, who played six games for the Jaguars last season. In those games, Paul had 10 catches for 98 yards. His best season came back in 2014 when he had 507 receiving yards with Washington. Paul's best case scenario is to earn the number-three tight end job with the Niners, so fantasy owners can go ahead and ignore this news, as San Francisco has enough other receiving options to render Paul as a non-factor.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Niles Paul (knee) is believed to have suffered a sprained MCL in the Week 6 loss to the Cowboys, according to a source. He is undergoing an MRI exam on Monday to determine how much time he'll miss. Paul is likely to miss a few games, but this injury is unlikely to be season-ending. Paul was set to have a decent pass-catching role with Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) injured, so this was a big disappointment to anyone that was streaming Paul. James O'Shaughnessy should step up in Paul's absence, although he won't have much fantasy appeal.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Niles Paul (knee) left the game early in the first half in Week 6 against the Cowboys and is questionable to return. Paul didn't have a target before leaving the game early in the first half. He was in line for a lot more work with Austin Seferian-Jenkins out, so this is disappointing for those fantasy owners that were using Paul as a desperation streamer. James O'Shaughnessy and David Grinnage are next up at the position for Jacksonville.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Niles Paul was surprisingly effective against the Chiefs on Sunday, grabbing seven passes for 65 yards. Paul was targeted nine times. With starting tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins limited due to issues with his core muscles and failing to record a catch, Paul slid into the role of the team's main tight end and produced numbers that Seferian-Jenkins hadn't all season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing free-agent tight end Niles Paul, according to a source. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Paul had just 13 receptions for 94 yards and no touchdowns in 2017 with Washington, and he's notched just two touchdowns in his six seasons in the NFL to this point. On a run-first squad and without much pass-catching experience in his career, Paul shouldn't be on any fantasy owners' radars in 2018.
Washington Redskins tight end Niles Paul, who is looking good after missing all but eight games the last two seasons with injuries, took some first-team repetitions at organized team activities Wednesday. However, he's only getting the opportunity with Jordan Reed sitting out. Paul, who had just two catches last year and none in 2015, is fighting for a job with rookie Jeremy Sprinkle. You can ignore Paul everywhere in fantasy.
