The Denver Broncos just secured a “move” tight end in Justin Joly at No. 152, a versatile weapon who posted an 18.2 Breakout Age (98th-percentile) with the smooth, wide-receiver-like movement to destroy bracket coverage. Joly earned a 23.5% Target Share (75th-percentile) and a dominant 31 contested catches, proving he can anchor the middle of the field for Sean Payton.
In dynasty formats, Joly can be considered a late 3rd/early 4th round flier that will need some things to fall his way to be fantasy relevant this season.
Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq declared for the draft earlier in the week and is considered the top tight end in the 2026 NFL Draft. He’s not the only tight end in the draft though and others will be showcasing their skills throughout the pre-draft process.
Nine of those other tight ends will be putting their skills on display in Mobile Alabama at the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl. Joshua Cuevas (Alabama), John Michael Gyllenborg (Wyoming), Will Kacmarek (Ohio State), Sam Roush (Stanford), Dan Villari (Syracuse), Nate Boerkircher (Texas A&M), Justin Joly (NC State), Tanner Koziol (Houston) and DJ Rogers (TCU) will get the opportunity to make an impression on NFL teams later this month.
