Jaren Kanak

Kanak sits behind a clear TE room: Gunnar Helm (2nd-year lead, 44 catches as a rookie), Daniel Bellinger (just signed 3yr/$24M), plus Kylen Granson and David Martin-Robinson. There is essentially no receiving role available in 2026.

Selected No. 225 overall (R7), Kanak isn't even a roster lock — analysts project he likely makes the team primarily as a special-teamer, not for offensive snaps.

A converted linebacker who played only one season at TE (44/533 at Oklahoma in 2025), his offensive polish is years away and his most likely NFL value is coverage-team tackles, not receiving production.

At 22 with a linebacker's athleticism on a 6'2"/234 frame, Kanak has the trait profile teams develop into move/blocking TEs — a multi-year lottery ticket.

Young TE (22) — still in value appreciation phase

TE is shallow in dynasty, so any eventual carving-out of a two-TE role (especially if Bellinger underwhelms) would give a near-zero-cost asset real speculative value.
