Conner was a feel-good story as a rookie, making the team as an undrafted free agent in 2022, Miami's first season with coach Mike McDaniel at the helm, along with offensive coordinator Frank Smith and tight ends coach Jon Embree. Conner was a converted college wide receiver out of Idaho State and seen as a developmental prospect with potential. He played 13 games as a rookie but mostly on special teams and was only targeted three times that season, without a catch.

We're going to start with an ascending rookie tight end who is being schemed up in a versatile role -- and producing. There are multiple backfield rotations also worthy of your attention, and I also see an emerging wide receiver worth adding to rosters. Fannin is averaging 13.1 PPG over his past four games, but I still see more upside here for the rookie tight end because of his versatility in coach Kevin Stefanski's offense for the Cleveland Browns.

There is no denying it. 2025 is the year of Jake Ferguson. The Dallas Cowboys gave their tight end an extension while back in training camp this summer and look like absolute geniuses for doing so. Ferguson is having the best season of his career to date and Sunday's win against Washington was a great example as he hauled in two touchdowns.

It was a big thing for me to have that first catch and be able to stretch the field a little bit, showcase some vertical speed,

Football can be a cruel sport at this time of year - or any time of year, for that matter. One piece of bad luck is all it can take to alter a player's career path.

Colston Loveland is on track to be ready for the start of his rookie season. Chicago opens the 2025 season at home on MNF in Week 1 vs. the Vikings.

The Dolphins are actively pursuing trades for a new tight end after sending Jonnu Smith to the Steelers, leaving their tight end position lacking experience.
