Charlie Woerner Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth TE for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE87 last season at 0.8 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE93 at 0.0 PPR points per game, against 0.8 over 16 games last season (TE87). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 48th of 81 in route participation (35.9%), 74th of 82 in target share (1.7%) and 79th of 82 in efficiency (0.24 yards per route run). Efficiency is the soft spot. Cooper Rush is his quarterback.
He's TE2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchup is the Saints in Week 4 (3rd against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Woerner's 2025 line tells the whole story: 8 catches on 9 targets for 48 yards across 7 games, a 1.7% target share that ranked him 84th among tight ends. His 50.8% snap rate looks respectable until you see it came mostly as a blocker, and a 35.9% route participation that produced just 0.24 yards per route run. The -0.022 EPA per play and 33.3% success rate confirm he moves the needle on the ground, not through the air.
Nothing about the profile points to a 2026 breakout. The 88.9% catch rate is empty efficiency on near-zero volume, with 1.33 air yards per target signaling a checkdown and short-area role. Atlanta values him as an in-line run blocker, and that ceiling caps any fantasy upside. Projections in the 14-reception, one-touchdown neighborhood say it plainly: leave him on the wire in every format.
What Drives His Outlook
His 2025 rank among the 81 tight ends who played at least six games. Each bar is one tight end, best on the left; his is highlighted.
