2025 Fantasy Outlook
Saubert is joining his eighth team and his fifth team in five seasons. The 31-year-old tight end has never played more than 372 offensive snaps in a season, when he posted a 15-148-1 line - career bests in each category - in 2022 with the Broncos. Despite Noah Fant getting released before training camp, Saubert may not be a lock for snaps outside of obvious blocking situations after the Seahawks drafted AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo in back-to-back years.

Saubert was brought in to replace one of the vacant backup roles left by the offseason departures of Charlie Woerner, Ross Dwelley and Tyler Kroft. The journeyman tight end will compete with Cameron Latu and Brayden Willis for slotting rights behind starter George Kittle in 2024.
Saubert put together a career-best 15-148-1 receiving line across 17 games with the Broncos last season. Though on paper he's now facing opportunity in a Dolphins offense that lost Mike Gesicki to the Patriots, the fact that Saubert has yet to compile a 150-yard campaign through six seasons in the NFL is telling. The 29-year-old could see his share of playing time as a rotational TE but anything more than that seems unlikely.
Saubert resigned with Denver on a one-year deal this offseason, after finishing the 2021 season with just eight catches on 12 targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. The 6-foot-5, 253-pounder should look to continue to be a contributor on special teams while also providing value as a blocker on offense, keeping him off the fantasy radar for the upcoming campaign barring an injury to Albert Okwuegbunam or rookie Greg Dulcich.
Saubert failed to record a reception in 30 offensive snaps during his rookie season out of Drake, but he has had a really strong showing in the early going of Falcons training camp, possibly leading to more opportunities to make an impact moving forward. A spot on the 53-man roster seems likely based on the way head coach Dan Quinn has been lauding his improvement as a pass catcher from year one to year two. Saubert's best-case scenario would involve him rounding out his game by becoming a sounder run blocker, which could potentially cement him as a surprise No. 2 option over Logan Paulsen.
Saubert, a fifth-round pick in the 2017 draft, made a name for himself in college, despite playing at little known Drake University. He was a reliable pass catcher there, and his 6-5 frame bodes well for a career at tight end. He'll slot in behind both Austin Hooper and Levine Toilolo to begin camp, but there's a chance he could end up as the second-string tight end with an impressive preseason. Saubert's main focus will be learning the offense and earning a spot on the active roster in his rookie season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could benefit from Fant's release
TESeattle Seahawks
July 20, 2025
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Saubert could see more opportunities after the Seahawks released Noah Fant on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo are both presumed to be ahead of Saubert on the depth chart, but Saubert's edge in experience could earn him at least a rotational role since fellow veteran Fant is no longer competing for snaps. Saubert has 101 games of NFL regular-season experience, while Barner and Arroyo have only 17 combined. If nothing else, Fant's release gives Saubert a clear path to securing a roster spot.
