Tommy Tremble — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
Analysis by Shawn Childs, from his 2026 guide — his words, unedited.
Across 19 games at Notre Dame, Tremble totaled 35 catches for 401 yards and four touchdowns, and he topped four receptions or 50 receiving yards in a single game just once during his entire college career.
Tremble made his name in the NFL as a blocker first, though his 6'3", 245-pound frame is a bit light for an every-down, lead tight end role. He's continued to develop as a receiver, but his opportunities at Notre Dame were limited by two talented tight ends ahead of him on the depth chart. At his pro day, he ran a 4.59 in the 40 and showed solid quickness in short areas, but there were some questions about his hands when working through contested catches.
His rookie year produced 20 catches for 191 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets, followed by 19 receptions for 174 yards and three scores on 32 targets in year two. In 2023, Carolina handed him the bulk of the tight end snaps (52.8%), but his production barely moved (23/194/3 on 32 targets).
Tremble was trending toward a career year in 2024 before five missed games got in the way. He finished with nearly identical numbers to his prior seasons (23/234/2 on 32 targets), with only two games offering real fantasy value (5/77 and 2/30/1).
In his fifth season with the Panthers, Tremble set career highs in catches (27), receiving yards (249), and targets (37). He scored over 10.00 PPR fantasy points in two matchups (5/42/1 and 3/38/1).
