Tanner Koziol Rest-of-Season Outlook

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

Koziol arrives in Jacksonville as a rookie tight end with no NFL snaps to evaluate, which is why our advanced database is empty for him. A productive small-school and Group of Five receiving tight end, he profiles as a move-piece pass-catcher rather than an in-line blocker, the type of player who needs a defined route role to matter for fantasy. With zero professional usage on record, any 2026 projection rests entirely on training-camp reps and depth-chart movement.

The Jaguars already roster veteran tight-end options ahead of him, and rookie tight ends almost never produce startable fantasy lines, the position's notoriously steep learning curve buries even high-pedigree prospects. Without meaningful draft capital or an established target path, Koziol is a name to monitor in deep dynasty tight-end-premium formats only. For 2026 redraft, he is an undraftable waiver-wire flyer until he earns a role.
