Jack Endries — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

Endres spent three college seasons split between California and Texas, peaking in 2024 with the Golden Bears (56/623/2) before a quieter final year with the Longhorns (33/346/3). He finished with 124 catches for 1,376 yards and seven touchdowns over 39 games, with his two best performances (8/119 and 9/101) coming midseason at Cal in 2024 with Fernando Mendoza at quarterback.

His profile is one of a player with genuine upside in several areas, but Endries still needs to add strength and physicality to become a complete tight end. His route running lacks a true edge, but he has sneaky speed on longer developing routes that can catch defenders off guard. He plays with a basketball post mentality in contested catch situations, using his body to create space against man coverage, and his hands hold up well under pressure.

As a blocker, Endries finds his way to the right spot often enough, but needs more power at the point of contact to finish consistently. He's instinctive with the ball in his hands and takes what the defense offers, though getting off the line against physical press coverage remains a problem. Endries ran a 4.62 at the 2026 NFL Combine, not a speed limitation, but not a weapon either. The tools are there for development; the refinement is the work ahead.
