Tommy Tremble Rest-of-Season Outlook
Every-down depth TE for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE42 last season at 3.8 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE36 at 4.7 PPR points per game, against 3.8 over 17 games last season (TE42). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 26th of 81 in route participation (51.6%), 37th of 82 in target share (7.7%) and 57th of 82 in efficiency (0.88 yards per route run). His points come from his route participation. Efficiency is the soft spot. Bryce Young is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Darren Waller next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchup is the Lions in Week 4 (1st against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Tremble finished as our TE47 in 2025, and the profile reads like a part-time tight end who does the little he gets well. Across 15 games he ran 283 routes but drew just 37 targets, a 7.7% share and a thin 0.131 targets per route run, turning that volume into 27 grabs for 249 yards, 2 scores and 36.9 fantasy points. The efficiency is real: a 0.223 EPA per play, a 56.8% success rate and a 73% catch rate all rank well, but at 0.88 yards per route run the ceiling is capped.
The blocking-first usage hasn't budged in three seasons, with route rates stuck near 50% and target shares hovering around 6 to 8%. Carolina splits tight end snaps, so meaningful volume only arrives if the room thins out. Draft him as a deep-league dart, not a weekly starter.
What Drives His Outlook
