FA · TE · Age 26
Sharp entered the league as a sixth-round pick out of LSU and currently sits at TE4 on Tampa Bay's depth chart, buried behind an entrenched, high-snap starter in Cade Otton and veteran depth in Payne Durham, Ko Kieft and Devin Culp. With zero games played to evaluate, there is no usage data supporting a near-term role, and the roster crunch at the position makes a practice-squad or roster-cut outcome a real downside risk. The athletic traits and route-running ability praised during the pre-draft process give him a modest developmental ceiling, but that value is entirely speculative until he shows up on a game-day roster. This profile is a deep-stash dynasty asset at best right now — sell into any depth-driven interest or simply hold as a zero-cost dart throw, and revisit only if an injury opens a real opportunity or Otton's long-term outlook in Tampa changes.

Computed from 3 of 6 signals
Class rank: 25th percentile
Tampa Bay's tight end room stacks Sharp behind an entrenched, near-every-snap starter in Cade Otton plus veteran depth in Payne Durham, Ko Kieft and Devin Culp, leaving him as TE4 with essentially no immediate path to targets.
Through the available sample this season Sharp has yet to log a game, so there is no on-field usage data to evaluate role or trajectory beyond his depth-chart slotting.
Scouting coverage out of the pre-draft process praised Sharp's speed and route-running relative to typical TE prospects, giving him a theoretical long-term ceiling as a receiving-oriented tight end if he can climb the depth chart.
