Outlook
Nothing here points to a usable role. With a sub-24% snap rate and essentially zero air-yards involvement, he profiles as a blocking specialist rather than a receiving threat. Cleveland's tight end pecking order keeps him buried, and his depressed ranking reflects it. Next on the depth chart after him: Carsen Ryan. Full outlook

Blake Whiteheart Rest-of-Season Outlook
TE1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE113 last season at 0.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 4 games he's TE4 at 2.8 PPR points per game, against 0.1 over 16 games last season (TE113). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 68th of 81 in route participation (18.0%), 78th of 82 in target share (1.1%) and 81st of 82 in efficiency (0.04 yards per route run). Efficiency is the soft spot. Deshaun Watson is his quarterback.
He's TE2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
The numbers leave little room for optimism. Across nine games in 2025, Whiteheart ran just 109 routes on an 18% route share, drawing six targets for a 1.1% target share and converting only two of them into four total yards. His -0.621 EPA per play and 0% success rate were among the worst at the position, and a fumble on such limited volume only deepens the concern. The 2024 sample was thinner but cleaner: six grabs for 51 yards and a red-zone touchdown on a 44.4% success rate.
Nothing here points to a usable role. With a sub-24% snap rate and essentially zero air-yards involvement, he profiles as a blocking specialist rather than a receiving threat. Cleveland's tight end pecking order keeps him buried, and his depressed ranking reflects it. Leave him on the wire in every format and revisit only if injuries open real route volume ahead of him.
What Drives His Outlook
