26-Year-Old Tight EndTE
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kieft has served as a prototypical, throwback blocking tight end over his first two seasons, and he recorded all of one reception for a two-yard touchdown on five targets across 16 regular-season games in 2023. Although new coordinator Liam Coen's scheme is expected to utilize two-tight-end sets regularly, Kieft is expected to remain a distant third pass-catching option at his position as long as Cade Otton and Payne Durham are healthy.

Seeing few snaps behind Otton
TETampa Bay Buccaneers
October 23, 2024
Kieft went without a target while playing six of the Buccaneers' 82 snaps on offense in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
With Cade Otton dominating the snaps at tight end for the Buccaneers through the first seven weeks, Kieft nor the team's other depth options at the position have been able to carve out much playing time. Though Kieft has suited up in all seven of the Bucs' contests, the six snaps he played Monday represented a season high.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kieft proved as good as advertised as a blocker after his sixth-round selection in 2022, with the University of Minnesota product often operating as an extra offensive lineman during his 256 snaps from scrimmage. Kieft also recorded seven receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown over 17 games, and he projects to once again operate primarily in a blocking role during the coming season while Cade Otton profiles as the top pass-catching tight end.
