Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
Now in Pittsburgh, he sits third on the tight-end depth chart behind blocking specialist Darnell Washington and pass-catcher Pat Freiermuth, capping any target path. His value is purely TD-dependent and matchup-driven, and even that requires injuries ahead of him. There is no redraft case here: he is a waiver-wire name, not a streaming option, and should be ignored in all standard leagues for 2026. Full outlook

Robert Tonyan Rest-of-Season Outlook
TE1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE121 last season at 0.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 4 games he's TE5 at 0.3 PPR points per game, against 0.1 over 15 games last season (TE121). 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 Colts in Week 5 (7th against TEs) and the Saints in Week 7 (3rd against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Tonyan's 2025 was effectively a non-season: two games in Kansas City, an 11.1 percent snap share, 38 routes, and a single target that produced one catch for one yard and 0.1 fantasy points, alongside a brutal -0.519 EPA per play. That continues a steep slide from his 2023 peak in Chicago, when he played 12 games on a 28.2 percent snap share, ran 157 routes, and turned 17 targets into 11 catches for 112 yards and 11.2 points at TE66. At 32, the trend line points only one direction.
Now in Pittsburgh, he sits third on the tight-end depth chart behind blocking specialist Darnell Washington and pass-catcher Pat Freiermuth, capping any target path. His value is purely TD-dependent and matchup-driven, and even that requires injuries ahead of him. There is no redraft case here: he is a waiver-wire name, not a streaming option, and should be ignored in all standard leagues for 2026.
