The Miami Dolphins are signing veteran free-agent tight end Tyler Kroft to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Kroft will be joining his fourth team in the last four seasons after spending the 2022 season mostly as a blocker with the San Francisco 49ers. In 11 games (four starts), Kroft had just four catches on five targets for 57 yards and no touchdowns. The 30-year-old's best season came back in 2017 with the Cincinnati Bengals, when he had 42 receptions on 62 targets for 404 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 starts. There should be more opportunity in Miami, as Durham Smythe is currently lined up as the starter at the position, but it's still unlikely that Kroft will move the fantasy needle in his new home.
San Francisco 49ers tight end Tyler Kroft (knee) has been ruled out ahead of the team's Week 5 matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Kroft sustained a sprained MCL in Week 2 and has not played since. George Kittle will continue to get the bulk of the tight end snaps and targets with Ross Dwelley operating in a backup role.
San Francisco 49ers tight end Tyler Kroft (knee) won't play on Monday night against the Rams. The 29-year-old has been plagued by an MCL sprain, an injury that held him out of the Week 3 meeting with the Broncos. With Ross Dwelley (rib) questionable, George Kittle and Charlie Woerner may be the only healthy tight ends on the roster. Of course, the former will do most of the heavy lifting in Week 4, regardless of who else is active behind him on the depth chart.
San Francisco 49ers tight end Tyler Kroft (knee) won't play on Sunday night against the Broncos. The 29-year-old is dealing with a sprained MCL, although he has done little for fantasy managers this season, compiling only one catch for nine yards. George Kittle (groin) will finally suit up for the first time this year, so Kroft wasn't projected to contribute, anyway.
San Francisco 49ers tight end Tyler Kroft (knee) is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks. He was injured mid-way through the Week 2 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. The organization is calling the injury a sprained MCL, so Kroft is likely going to miss some time. Luckily, George Kittle (groin) is making solid progress, so hopefully he can return soon. Possibly, Kittle is able to suit up for Week 3, but that remains to be seen. Otherwise, Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley will handle the tight end duties in San Francisco.
San Francisco 49ers tight end Tyler Kroft (knee) suffered a sprained MCL in the Week 2 win over the Seattle Seahawks and will miss a few weeks. Kroft started the first two games of the season for the Niners with starter George Kittle (groin) inactive, but he produced just one catch on two targets for nine yards in the first two games. He wasn't targeted at all on Sunday. San Francisco will be hoping that Kittle can play in Week 3 on Sunday night against the Denver Broncos. If not, they'll be forced to use Ross Dwelley and Charlie Woerner at the tight end position. For what it's worth, Dwelley caught his only target against Seattle for a 38-yard touchdown.
San Francisco 49ers tight end Tyler Kroft (knee) won't return to Sunday's contest versus the Seattle Seahawks. The team was already down Trey Lance (ankle), who was carted off the field in the first quarter. Now, the Niners could be without one of its blockers moving ahead, although it won't mean much for fantasy managers if Kroft misses time.
Former New York Jets and Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Kroft will serve as tight end depth behind George Kittle alongside Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley. He spent last year with the Jets, catching 16 of 25 targets for 173 yards and one touchdown in nine games (six starts). The 29-year-old tight end has only played a full season in two of his seven NFL seasons and has gone over 200 receiving yards in a season just once, back in 2017 with the Cincinnati Bengals. He has 101 career receptions for 1,024 yards and 13 touchdowns in 81 career games. Kroft will only become fantasy relevant if Kittle misses time with an injury.
The Atlanta Falcons hosted free-agent tight end Tyler Kroft on a visit on Friday. As things currently stand, tight end Kyle Pitts is Atlanta's top pass-catcher of any kind, so the Falcons could certainly use some more bodies for 2022 with Calvin Ridley suspended all season and Russell Gage moving to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in free agency. The Falcons should continue to run a lot of two-tight end sets, so Kroft could see the field often if he signs with Atlanta. However, Hayden Hurst wasn't exactly fantasy relevant next to Pitts last year, even with the team hurting for offensive weapons. Kroft, 29, has never topped 404 receiving yards, 62 receptions or seven touchdowns in a single season in seven NFL seasons.
New York Jets tight end Tyler Kroft has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, making him uncertain to suit up for Sunday's matchup vs. the Buccaneers. Kroft played in a season-high 86% of the Jets' offensive snaps in Week 16, finishing with three receptions for 29 yards, while tying his season high with five targets. It's unclear where New York would turn if Kroft is unable to clear the league's protocols in time, as no tight ends on their active roster are currently healthy and able to suit up. Rookie quarterback Zach Wilson has not been gifted much consistency from his pass catchers this season, but there at least appears to be signs of red zone rapport being built with the 29-year-old Kroft. The Buccaneers defense stands to be a tremendous season-long asset for finals matchup, with any further absences from Jets skill position players driving that home.
