2025 Fantasy Outlook
Manhertz is a prime example of a player whose real-life impact far exceeds his fantasy value. The veteran tight end played in all 17 of New York's games last season and has missed just one contest over the past five campaigns. He's tallied only 23 catches over that span, however, as his role has been limited almost exclusively to blocking. Expect more of the same this season after Manhertz re-signed with the Giants in early March. Read Past Outlooks

Illness
October 30, 2025
Manhertz (illness) was limited at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Manhertz is dealing with an illness and has been limited at each of New York's first two practice sessions to begin the week. It still seems more likely than not that he'll be able to play Sunday versus San Francisco, though he may enter the weekend with an injury status if he's not able to log a full practice Friday. Manhertz typically works in a blocking role and has just one catch on one target for seven yards through eight games this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2018
2017
2016
2015
Manhertz signed a two-year deal with the Broncos this offseason, joining his fourth team as he heads into his eighth NFL season. While mainly spending his career as a blocking specialist, the veteran tight end has never exceeded six catches in a season. Manhertz figures to operate in a similar role in Denver, which keeps him off the fantasy radar with Greg Dulcich, Albert Okwuegbunam and Adam Trautman also in the mix at his position.
Manhertz spent the past four seasons in Carolina and played in all but one game, though he primarily served as a blocker with a combined 11 receptions for 132 yards and a touchdown. The 29-year-old, who had his most productive campaign in 2020 with six catches for 52 yards, inked a two-year, $7.25 million deal with Jacksonville during the offseason. Manhertz should work as the Jaguars' No. 1 tight end, but he's unlikely to provide significant production in the passing game, even if he is more of a target than he has been in previous years.
Manhertz was placed on the PUP list after suffering a foot injury in late July, but is nearing a return halfway through the preseason. The 26-year-old looks to battle Ian Thomas for the Panthers' No. 2 tight end job behind Greg Olsen.
Manhertz is competing to win the Panthers' third tight end spot during training camp. The 25-year-old played four games for the team last season, boosting his chances of maintaining his position.
Manhertz will compete for a roster spot as a backup tight end, but the former Canisius product is unlikely to have a fantasy impact, as he's firmly behind, at a minimum, Coby Fleeer and Josh Hill on the depth chart.
Manhertz is a big tight end early enough in his playing career that he will be a candidate for the Buffalo practice squad.
