2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Logs 18 snaps with Kittle back
Saubert did not receive a target in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Patriots, logging 18 snaps on offense (29 percent) while playing 20 on special teams.
ANALYSIS
Saubert reverted to his expected backup role after starter George Kittle (4-45-1) returned from a one-game absence. The veteran backup saw his role diminish on offense after gaining 41 yards on two receptions in last week's spot start for Kittle. Saubert can only operate as a deep-league fantasy option in games that Kittle misses, which does not appear to be the situation for this coming Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2018
2017
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.
