Robert Tonyan News
Free-agent tight end Robert Tonyan agreed to a one-year deal with the Bears. The 28-year-old totaled two touchdowns in his first two seasons. However, after finding the end zone 11 times during the 2020 season, he tore his left ACL the following year, limiting him to just eight games. With the Bears acquiring D.J. Moore, Chicago has a few capable options on the receiving end, so Tonyan could get lost in the crowd. At the same time, the former Packer will also be battling Cole Kmet for targets from Justin Fields in 2023-24, lowering his fantasy expectations even more.
Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan could be headed elsewhere this offseason. The 28-year-old hasn't brought the same production since his 11-touchdown season in 2020. Tonyan finished with 53 receptions, 470 yards, and two touchdowns through 17 games (three starts) with the Packers last season. This is reportedly a deep draft for tight ends, so the Packers could decide to go young and let Tonyan walk. The veteran tight end is likely seeking a multi-year deal, which is something the Packers probably don't want to commit to doing right now. He could have fantasy value elsewhere, but it'd have to be the right team.
Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan caught all three of his targets and gained 29 yards during the team's 20-16 loss to the Detroit Lions. It ends an outright disappointing season for the veteran who came into the year with a chance to see an increased target share due to the departure of star receiver Davante Adams. Tonyan finished with 67 targets, a total of eight more than his previous career-high of 59 in 2020. However, that season, the 28-year-old was the TE4 overall due to a high touchdown total. He finished with just two this season, capping his upside and holding him to just three top-12 fantasy finishes. After losing valuable reps to backups Joshua Deguara and Marcedes Lewis, and the future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers up in the air, Tonyan can safely be left off of draft boards heading into the 2023 season.

Chicago Bears tight end Robert Tonyan Jr. showed flashes of upside over his last three seasons with the Green Bay Packers, totaling 123 receptions for 1,260 yards and 15 touchdowns in 14 games. He led all tight ends in touchdown grabs in 2020, reaching the end zone 11 times. The further away that 2020 season gets -- the more apparent it is that his stats were likely just a product of Aaron Rodgers' greatness. He now finds himself as Cole Kmet's backup in one of the worst and most low-volume...
