Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Kieft has become the quintessential blocking tight end over the course of his first three NFL seasons, not that he was ever a pass-catching threat. However, the 2022 sixth-round pick did manage a 7-80-1 line on 10 targets in 17 regular-season games as a rookie before mustering just a two-yard touchdown grab over the subsequent pair of seasons. Kieft didn't see so much as a single target in 2024, but he remains highly valued for his work in the running game and therefore is likely to stick around for another season.
