Reports from the New York Giants camp early on are that the offense is struggling against the defense, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic.But Giants head coach John Harbaugh doesn't seem all that concerned about the offense's earlier struggles. It's often expected that the defense is ahead of the offense early in camp.Duggan says that Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy have challenged Dart to run a more traditional offense than he did last year under Brian Daboll, who basically let him run the type of offense he ran in college at Ole Miss.They want him to play more under center than in the shotgun, which apparently has been quite an adjustment for him.Yet despite the struggles, Harbaugh praised his QB.You cant even imagine how much there is for a quarterback to operate with, especially in a new offense, Harbaugh said. Hes done an outstanding job. Theres so much on his plate. Hes pushing the envelope. Hes also competing at the same time. Hes a fiery guy. Im very impressed.Harbaugh seems to want to return to more emphasis on the run game and the defense. What should help Dart is the return of wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Cam Skattebo, both of whom are returning from season-ending injuries last year.Hes generally on schedule," Harbaugh said of Nabers. Duggan added, "The Giants are taking it day-to-day, determining Nabers workload based on how he feels each day. With six weeks until the season opener against the Cowboys, its hard to imagine Nabers not being ready barring a setback."It might take a while for the offense to get into a groove and a new style of play before they are comfortable with the new offensive plays they will be running this season.

Mike Mickens knew Kyle Hamilton was different before either coach or player reached Baltimore.Mickens coached Hamilton at Notre Dame and watched the versatile safety develop into a first-round NFL prospect. Their reunion with the Ravens gives Mickens another opportunity to challenge a player who has already become one of footballs premier defenders.The expectations are not modest.Go chase everything All-Pro again and MVP, Mickens said on The Ravens Lounge. He has the capability to do it. The skys the limit for him.Hamilton has lined up across Baltimores defense during his career, handling responsibilities at deep safety, in the slot, near the line of scrimmage and as a pressure player. That versatility allows the Ravens to address different offensive threats without substituting.Mickens does not believe Hamilton needs a complete reinvention. His next step is producing with greater consistency while continuing to create plays from multiple alignments.The arrival of Jesse Minter should help. Minter has a history of moving versatile safeties around his defense and is expected to treat Hamilton as one of the schemes most valuable pieces. Malaki Starks development could provide additional freedom. If the second-year safety proves capable of handling multiple deep-field assignments, Baltimore can move Hamilton closer to the action without making its intentions obvious.Individual awards often require splash plays. Hamiltons value is not always reflected through interceptions or sacks because offenses change protections and route concepts to account for his presence. Mickens wants production and versatility to coexist. A few additional takeaways or game-changing plays could place Hamilton in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation. The coach-player relationship provides a useful foundation. Mickens understands Hamiltons strengths and family background, while Hamilton already knows the standard his former Notre Dame coach will demand.Hamilton has accomplished enough to make another Pro Bowl an ordinary expectation. Mickens is challenging him to pursue recognition reserved for the NFLs most dominant defenders.This article originally appeared on Ravens Wire: Could Kyle Hamilton win NFL MVP as a defensive standout?

The middle to late rounds are where you might find a fantasy football tight end sleeper without wrecking your roster. The NFL names below all sit outside the top few at their position, yet each has a path to more targets, a bigger red-zone role, or a leap in quarterback play. One could push into the best-at-the-position conversation. The rest are cheaper swings with weekly starter upside. Generally, I advocate for drafting your tight ends late unless the top tier falls in your lap. Otherwise, you should skip the early-round tax and let the value come to you.More sleepers: Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide ReceiversFantasy Football Sleeper: Tucker Kraft, Green Bay PackersGreen Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (85) celebrates his touchdown catch against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Oct. 19, 2025.Kraft is the rare pick who could finish as the best fantasy tight end outside the top tier, and his TE6 half-PPR ADP as the 88th overall selection does not reflect that ceiling. The South Dakota State product was the TE2 in fantasy scoring behind only Trey McBride when a torn ACL ended his season in Week 9, and reporting through the summer has him tracking toward Week 1. Before the injury, he caught 32 of 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns across eight games, finishing as the TE4 at 14.7 half-PPR points per game. The efficiency was absurd. He averaged 15.3 yards per catch, first among tight ends, and 2.33 yards per route run, second. Green Bay let Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks walk, vacating 131 targets and 26.8% of the teams pass attempts, with no notable pass catcher added. If Kraft absorbs even a chunk of that volume at his career efficiency, he has the No. 1 overall tight end in range at a discount price.Isaiah Likely, New York GiantsFormer Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (80) will get a fresh start for himself and fantasy football drafters in 2026.Clear a path, people! Its finally Likelys time to fulfill his fate as a fantasy football tight sleeper has arrived for the first time in his career, and his TE12 half-PPR ADP undersells the opportunity. The Coastal Carolina alumnus spent four seasons stuck behind Mark Andrews in Baltimore, never topping 477 receiving yards, then followed head coach John Harbaugh to New York on a three-year, $40 million deal. The situation points up. Malik Nabers is working back from a torn ACL and could miss early time, and WanDale Robinson, the Giants most-targeted receiver last year, left for Tennessee. That leaves Likely as a top-two option for second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart, who made the tight end his favorite target in spring practices. Reporting suggests the Giants plan to manufacture touches for him on screens and crossers, the routes where he does his damage. The one hole in his fantasy football profile is scoring, with just one touchdown last season after 13 across the prior two. In a Harbaugh offense built around versatile tight end usage, Likely can finish as a top-10 option if the targets show up early.Oronde Gadsden II, Los Angeles ChargersFantasy football managers could witness Los Angeles Oronde Gadsden II (86) become the next great tight end from the Chargers.Gadsden really showed some promise as a rookie, with vertical juice gives him a higher ceiling than most tight ends in his TE16 range, going 128th overall. The Syracuse product finished his rookie year as the half-PPR TE16 with 49 catches on 69 targets for 664 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games, and he flashed a monster stretch as the TE1 in fantasy from Week 6 through Week 9, piling up 24 catches for 377 yards and two scores. The trait that pops is downfield ability, with 13.6 yards per catch, third among tight ends, from a player who converted from receiver in college. The complication is competition. Los Angeles signed blocking tight end Charlie Kolar and added David Njoku in May, which threatens Gadsdens early-down snaps in Mike McDaniels movement-heavy scheme. He should stay the clear passing-down option with Justin Herbert throwing, and his big-play rate gives him weekly TE1 upside on any given Sunday.Brenton Strange, Jacksonville JaguarsStrange is the ascending starter whose late-season surge hints at more, and his TE18 half-PPR ADP as the 138th overall pick keeps him cheap. The Penn State product set career highs with 46 catches on 60 targets for 540 yards and three touchdowns in just 12 games, and Jacksonville backed him with a three-year, $48 million extension that ranks among the richest guarantees at the position. The trajectory is what sells him. From Week 12 on, he played at a full-season pace of 63 catches, 816 yards and seven touchdowns, good for the half-PPR TE8 down the stretch, and he drew a team-high 11 red-zone targets over that span after seeing none early. His 1.89 yards per route run over that stretch shows real receiving chops. The obstacle is a crowded room, with Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and two-way player Travis Hunter all chasing targets. That competition makes Strange touchdown-dependent, but the red-zone role and locked-in snaps give him low-end TE1 upside.Gunnar Helm, Tennessee TitansTennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm (84) could be a breakout fantasy football star this season.A second-year tight end whose price makes him close to free, going as the TE28 and the 211th overall pick. The former Texas Longhorn handled a rookie load behind Chig Okonkwo, catching 44 of 55 targets for 357 yards and two touchdowns to finish as the TE31 in PPR, and his usage climbed as the year went on, with more than half the offensive snaps in six of the final seven games. Okonkwo is gone to Washington, leaving Helm as the clear No. 1 with only journeymen Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson behind him. The underlying numbers beat the veteran he replaced. Helm posted a 22.4% target-per-route-run rate and 1.45 yards per route run as a rookie, both better than Okonkwo, and he caught 80% of his targets. The swing factor is second-year quarterback Cam Ward, who improved late in his rookie season, plus new coordinator Brian Daboll and a rebuilt receiver room. If Ward takes a step forward, Helm has the target floor to be a weekly streamer.Cade Otton, Tampa Bay BuccaneersTampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (88) reacts after making a catch against the Seattle Seahawks during the first half at Lumen Field. Mandatory Credit: Joe Nicholson-Imagn ImagesSometimes a steady veteran can surprise. Think about some of those big years from Hunter Henry that seemed to pop up every now and then. Ottons path to targets widened this offseason, and his TE30 half-PPR price sets a low bar to clear. The Washington product has caught 59 passes in back-to-back seasons, posting 572 yards and one touchdown across 16 games in 2025, though the lone score dragged down his scoring profile. The change worth buying is volume. Six-time Pro Bowler Mike Evans left for San Francisco, and Tampa Bay added no real competition at tight end beyond sixth-round rookie Bauer Sharp. Otton has already shown what additional targets do for him. When Evans and Chris Godwin Jr. both went down in 2024, he ran off 30 catches for 293 yards and three touchdowns over four games. Baker Mayfield trusts him as a short and intermediate safety valve, which lifts his floor in half-PPR. The knock is the ceiling, since he has never topped 600 yards or four touchdowns in a season, but a bigger red-zone role would make him a usable starter.More to consider: Terrance Ferguson, LAR; Greg Dulcich, MIA; Eli Raridon, NE
