Trevon Wesco Fantasy

The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms with veteran free-agent tight end Trevon Wesco on an undisclosed one-year deal. Wesco was originally drafted in the fourth round in 2019 by the New York Jets out of West Virginia. In his first three years with the Jets, Wesco caught just six of his 10 targets for 87 yards and no touchdowns in 40 games (12 starts). The 27-year-old spent the 2022 season with the Chicago Bears, where he caught two of four targets for 26 yards in 14 games (one start). Wesco is mostly useful for his blocking skills as a tight end and fullback, so he won't have any fantasy value in Tennessee in 2023. He'll add depth for the Titans at the position behind Chigoziem Okonkwo.

The Chicago Bears claimed former New York Jets tight end Trevon Wesco off waivers on Wednesday. Wesco was the most popular player on waivers, as the Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals and Bears were all in on him. The Jets waived Wesco on roster cutdown day on Tuesday after he played in 12 games for them in 2021. He finished with just three catches on five targets for 35 yards and no touchdowns. In Chicago, Wesco will provide depth behind starter Cole Kmet and backup Ryan Griffin. The 26-year-old former fourth-rounder has caught six of his 10 targets for 87 yards and no scores in 40 games (12 starts) in his three NFL seasons.

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that tight end Trevon Wesco (ankle) will miss two to four weeks with an ankle injury. Wesco has been operating as the No. 2 tight end behind Ryan Griffin with Tyler Kroft (chest) on Injured Reserve, but he's caught only two passes for 16 yards on four targets in 10 games played this year. With Wesco out for the foreseeable future and with Kroft not back from IR, Kenny Yeboah should see more playing time in Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles behind Griffin. Fantasy managers would be wise to continue avoiding the Jets tight end situation.
