Titans signed TE Deon Yelder.

3 years ago

The Chiefs nontendered Yelder, who appeared in 14 games and played 18% of snaps last year, this offseason. Yelder signed with Washington in May but was released before the start of training camp last month. The special teamer and in-line blocker will compete with Luke Stocker and Tommy Hudson for a roster spot in Tennessee.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports the Chiefs will not tender TE Deon Yelder.

This leaves the Chiefs no tight ends on the roster after Travis Kelce, excluding reserve/future contracts. Nick Keizer is an exclusive rights free agent but the team has yet to pick up his contract and Yelder will be testing free agency. Ricky Seals-Jones, the only other Chiefs TE with a target in 2020, was released before the end of the season. Even if the Chiefs sign Keizer or Yelder in free agency, expect them to add extra depth at the position this offseason.

Yelder collected just three passes for 50 yards on four targets during 2019.

Yelder was a darkhorse candidate to see some run behind Travis Kelce at the tight end position but it never really materialize, with the second-year tight end remaining behind Blake Bell for reps. While Bell is set to become an unrestricted free agent, Yelder is an exlusive-rights free agent, meaning the Chiefs could tender him a league-minimum contract and keep him around for another season. Even if Yelder is back and Bell is gone, Yelder remains unlikely to see receive much fantasy attention in 2020 as long as Kelce remains healthy.

Yelder reeled in both of his two targets for 43 yards Sunday against the Lions.

Yelder had not recorded an offensive snap prior to Sunday's game, but he made the most of his five snaps. He's still behind both Travis Kelce and Blake Bell on the depth chart, though Yelder could prove the better fantasy option should Kelce miss time.
