Our Take After Week 4

Through 3 games he's TE90 at 0.0 PPR points per game, against 0.1 over 17 games last season (TE116). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.

He's TE3 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.

The next favorable matchups are the Cardinals in Week 4 (6th against TEs) and the Commanders in Week 5 (2nd against TEs).

Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)

Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.

The advanced numbers tell the whole story: in 2025 Manhertz played just four games, logged a 17.8% snap share, ran 50 routes, and saw only two targets, turning them into a single seven-yard grab worth 0.7 fantasy points. His -0.19 EPA per play and No. 111 positional finish underscore a player whose job is sealing edges, not catching passes. Even his best recent year, 2024, produced only three receptions, 30 yards, and one touchdown across eight games, good for nine fantasy points.

Now 33 and back on a one-year deal, he returns to a depth role in a crowded Giants tight end room. Projections of roughly 1.8 catches, 16 yards, and a fraction of a touchdown confirm there's nothing to draft here, with a TE ranking buried in the 140s and essentially zero ADP. Until an injury ahead of him forces real snaps, he stays off every fantasy radar.
