Ryan Izzo News
The Houston Texans are acquiring tight end Ryan Izzo from the New England Patriots on Thursday in exchange for a seventh-round pick in 2022, according to a source. The Patriots are dealing from a position of strength now that they signed Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry in free agency this week. In addition to Smith and Henry, the Patriots have Devin Asiasi, Dalton Keene and Matt LaCosse at the position. Izzo, 25, has just 19 receptions on 29 targets for 313 yards and one touchdown in 18 games (16 starts) in his two seasons in New England after he was a seventh-round pick out of Florida State in 2018. He'll join a tight end group in Houston that includes Darren Fells, Pharaoh Brown, Jordan Akins, Kahale Warring and Paul Quessenberry.
New England Patriots tight end Ryan Izzo (neck) was placed on Injured Reserve prior to Thursday's game against the Rams, and he will now miss at least the next three contests. Devin Asiasi (personal) was activated from the IR to take Izzo's place on the roster. Izzo has been utilized primarily as a blocking tight end this season, having combined to make 13 catches for 199 yards across 12 games, all of which he has started. The post-Rob Gronkowski tight end picture in New England has been less featured in the passing game, making Asiasi and fellow TEs Dalton Keene and Jordan Thomas unlikely to garner much fantasy intrigue over the coming weeks. Izzo will be eligible to return for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Jets, but he can remain on the waiver wire in all season-long formats until he gets the green light to return.
New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (back) and tight end Ryan Izzo (hamstring) are both questionable for Week 10 on Sunday night against the Ravens. Both Folk and Izzo practiced on a limited basis all week, so we'd expect them both to suit up against Baltimore. Folk ranks just 24th in overall fantasy points at the kicking position through eight games, but the veteran booter hasn't missed a field-goal attempt since Week 2 and made all three of his field goals, including a 51-yard game-winner, and all three of his extra points in the Week 9 win over the Jets. The 36-year-old is trending upward and could be busy again Sunday night, making him a top-five kicking option. Izzo has just nine catches for 114 yards in eight games. The Pats don't utilize the tight end position enough to make Izzo fantasy relevant.
