News

  • Catches one ball in spot-start

    Saubert (illness) recorded one reception for seven yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: The 49ers ruled George Kittle (hamstring) inactive prior to Sunday's kickoff, opening the door for Saubert to fill in as the starting tight end. The veteran backup had to overcome an illness himself in order to suit up against the Seahawks. Saubert got through the contest without issue, but he was unable to replicate the kind of numbers we have come to expect from his star teammate. Kittle's targets are usually dispersed to other skill positions when he's sidelined, leaving little fantasy…read more

  • 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.

  • Posts 41 yards in Sunday's start

    Saubert had two receptions on as many targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Saubert received a bump up the depth chart prior to Sunday's defeat after starter George Kittle (hamstring) was ruled out late in the practice week. The veteran backup performed well in the star's absence, but he didn't see his usage increase over last week's two-catch performance. There's a chance Kittle returns for the 49ers' upcoming tilt against the Patriots, so Saubert's time as the club's starting tight end may be short-lived.

  • Records two receptions Sunday

    Saubert finished with two receptions on as many targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: Saubert failed to bring in his lone target against the Jets in Week 1, officially recording his first reception with San Francisco after signing with the club this past offseason. The veteran backup saw 26 snaps on offense in the loss compared to starter George Kittle's 51. Saubert won't generate much fantasy buzz in games that Kittle is active for this season.

  • Signs with San Francisco

    Saubert signed to the 49ers' 53-man roster Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Saubert was released by the team Tuesday but returned as a third tight end behind George Kittle and Jake Tonges. The veteran made 10 combined appearances for the Cowboys and Texans last season, playing more on special teams than offense. Saubert's best statistical season came in 2022 with Denver when he caught 15 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown.

  • Let go by San Fran

    Saubert was released by the 49ers on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Saubert inked a deal with the 49ers in April and was expected to primarily serve as a reserve blocking tight end. The 30-year-old made a push for a spot on the roster this preseason, but the team will instead roll with Jake Tonges as its lone backup behind starter George Kittle. Across 10 regular-season appearances with the Texans and Cowboys last season, Saubert caught three passes for 12 yards and worked mostly as a special-teamer.

  • Eying No. 2 role this preseason

    Saubert has two receptions (three targets) for 11 yards through two preseason games with San Francisco.

    Analysis: The veteran addition at tight end started both exhibition games while George Kittle sat out with most of the starters on offense. Saubert is known for his blocking skills as opposed to being a vertical threat, so his preseason game log might be a good representation of the kind of fantasy numbers we will see from the 30-year-old in 2024.

  • Headed to Bay Area

    Saubert signed a one-year deal with the 49ers on Monday.

    Analysis: Over the course of nine regular-season games for the Texans in 2023, Saubert (who before that suited up for one contest with the Cowboys) caught all three of his targets for 12 yards. With San Francisco, Saubert will work in a depth role behind George Kittle, and in that capacity it's unlikely he'll see enough targets in 2024 to merit fantasy consideration.

  • Inactive for playoff loss

    Saubert did not suit up for Houston's 34-10 playoff loss to Baltimore last Saturday. He finished the season with three receptions on three targets for 12 yards over nine regular-season games played.

    Analysis: The Texans grabbed Saubert off the Cowboys' practice squad in response to a rash of midseason injuries at tight end. Houston still has Brevin Jordan and Teagan Quitoriano (groin) under contract and will likely make a push to bring back unrestricted free agent Dalton Schultz. As such, Saubert is unlikely to return to Houston for the 2024 season.

  • Limited to special teams Week 16

    Saubert played all 25 of his snaps on special teams in the Texans' 19-16 overtime win over the Titans.

    Analysis: With Dalton Schultz (hamstring) returning to action after a two-game absence, Saubert dropped to third on the depth chart at tight end and saw his role on offense completely disappear. Even when he had been factoring into the mix on offense in recent weeks, Saubert recorded just one catch for five yards over 77 total snaps while serving mostly as a blocker during his time on the field.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Saubert (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old tight end seems to have fallen down the Texans' depth chart with Brevin Jordan returning to action in Week 11. Saubert has appeared in two games since signing with Houston in late October, playing a total of 55 snaps (36 offensive and 19 on special teams) and failing to record a single stat.

  • Top TE backup Sunday

    Saubert was not targeted and played 12 snaps in Sunday's 39-37 win over Tampa Bay in Week 9.

    Analysis: Saubert was signed to Houston's active roster as both Brevin Jordan (foot) and Teagan Quitoriano (groin) were unavailable. There aren't many looks available for backup tight ends behind Dalton Schultz, who accounts 50 of the position group's 59 targets this season.

  • Joins Houston

    The Texans signed Saubert from the Cowboys' practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.

    Analysis: The move corresponds with the Texans placing Teagan Quitoriano (groin) on injured reserve. Saubert joined the Cowboys' practice squad on Oct. 24, was elevated for Sunday's game against the Rams and played 14 snaps on special teams. He'll fill in as a depth tight end behind Dalton Schultz with Brevin Jordan (foot) expected to miss games.

  • Back to practice squad

    Saubert reverted to Dallas' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Saubert didn't record any stats in Sunday's win against the Rams while playing 14 snaps on special teams. The 29-year-old just signed with the Cowboys' practice squad last week and will now wait for another chance to be elevated.

  • Promoted to active roster

    The Cowboys elevated Saubert to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Saubert joined the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday after being let go with an injury settlement by the Dolphins on Sept. 6. He had a tryout with the Steelers on Oct. 3, but he ultimately landed in Dallas three weeks later. If he suits up for Sunday's contest against the Rams, he'll provide an additional depth piece at tight end alongside Luke Schoonmaker and Sean McKeon.

  • Headed to Dallas

    The Cowboys signed Saubert to their practice squad Tuesday, Nick Harris of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Saubert signed with the Dolphins this past offseason, but he ended up suffering an undisclosed injury that led to his eventual release in early September. The veteran tight end out of Drake most recently played for the Broncos in 2022, and throughout his six-year NFL career, he's recorded 33 receptions for 280 yards and two touchdowns.

    Saubert (undisclosed) had a workout with Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Saubert had an opportunity with Miami during training camp, but he suffered an undisclosed injury that resulted in him receiving an injury settlement with the team and becoming a free agent. Now healthy, the 29-year-old is looking for work again, after spending the two previous seasons with the Broncos.

  • Released with injury settlement

    Saubert (undisclosed) was released by the Dolphins with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Saubert was set to spend the 2023 season on the Dolphins' injured reserve, but he will now have an opportunity to play elsewhere if he can prove his health. The tight end has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, so his recovery timeline is unknown.

  • Moves to injured reserve

    Saubert (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Dolphins on Tuesday.

    Analysis: The tight end went out with his injury on Aug. 21 and initial reports were that he could miss a week or two. The blocking specialist signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins in March after spending the last two seasons with the Broncos. Saubert has 15 starts in 74 career games.

  • Dealing with injury

    Saubert (undisclosed) could miss a week or two, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Saubert's injury details are unclear, but according to head coach Mike McDaniel, the 29-year-old will need a week or two of rehabbing to get back on track.

  • Lands with Dolphins

    The Dolphins agreed to terms with Saubert on a one-year contract Wednesday, NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old is a career blocking specialist with 33 catches across 74 games. He had 15 grabs for 148 yards and one touchdown with the Broncos last season. Saubert is highly unlikely to become relevant in fantasy.

  • Scores once in 2022

    Saubert caught 15 of 24 targets for 148 yards and one touchdown while playing all 17 games in the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Saubert finished a relatively quiet 2022 season, as he played at least 50 percent of offensive snaps just three times across 17 games. The veteran tight end provided solid depth at the position, while rookie Greg Dulcich emerged as the leader of the Broncos' tight-end corps for most of the season. Saubert is set to be free agent this offseason, but his dynamic skill set may be attractive to a new coaching staff in Denver ahead of the 2023 campaign.

  • Will play Sunday

    Saubert (knee) is active Sunday against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Saubert was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he'll take the field Sunday in the Broncos' regular-season finale. He'll likely fall behind Albert Okwuegbunam as the team's No. 2 option at tight end.

    Saubert (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: A knee injury has cut into Saubert's practice reps. Fellow tight end Eric Tomlinson (ankle) is also questionable, leaving Albert Okwuegbunam as the clear No. 1 tight end for Denver in the season finale.

    Saubert (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: For the second consecutive day, Saubert was held out of Week 18 prep as a result of the knee injury he presumably sustained in last weekend's loss to the Chiefs. He'll have one more chance to practice in any capacity Friday before Denver would be forced to tag Saubert with an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Saubert didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Saubert played 23 offensive snaps and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Week 17, but he's sidelined to start Week 18 prep due to a knee injury. The extent of the injury remains unclear, but the backup tight end will have two more chances to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

  • Catches three passes

    Saubert caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Saubert operated as Denver's No. 2 tight end Sunday behind Albert Okwuegbunam. The 28-year-old played 24 of the Broncos' 70 offensive snaps, while Okwuegbunam played 37 snaps. In 16 games played this season, Saubert has caught 15 of 24 targets for 148 yards, all of which are career-highs. The 6-foot-5, 253-pounder should remain far off the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 18 matchup with the Chargers.

  • Catches two passes in loss

    Saubert secured both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Saubert continued to operate as the Broncos' No. 2 tight end Sunday behind rookie Greg Dulcich. With 27 offensive snaps, the veteran saw roughly half the playing time of Dulcich, who played 53 snaps in the contest. Saubert's limited opportunities in a struggling passing attack make him irrelevant for fantasy purposes. Barring an injury to Dulcich, the 28-year-old should be left off fantasy rosters heading into a Week 12 matchup with the Panthers.

  • Plays one offensive snap

    Saubert played one offensive snap and failed to see a single target in Monday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: After leading all tight ends in snaps in the past two games, Saubert took a major backseat to rookie Greg Dulcich in his debut. The veteran practiced in a limited fashion due to an ankle injury but was active for the game. His lack of involvement could be related to the injury, but it appears the coaching staff is confident in Dulcich, who impressed as the team's new No. 1 tight end. It's likely that Saubert's involvement in the offense will decrease and he'll be relegated to a depth role going…read more

    Saubert (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Saubert managed to practice all week in limited fashion, which theoretically should put him on track to play in Monday's divisional battle. The veteran tight end easily doubled his total receptions in last Thursday's loss to the Colts, but he's been relatively inconsistent overall, with the Broncos content on using a four-man platoon to cover the position.

    Saubert was a limited participant during Friday's practice due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Saubert presumably picked up the ankle injury during last Thursday's loss to the Colts and has now had his reps capped on two occasions to begin Week 6 prep. He'll have one more opportunity Saturday to improve to a full participant before Denver needs to make a decision on his status for Monday's contest against the Chargers.

    Saubert caught five of seven targets for 36 yards in Thursday's 12-9 overtime loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Saubert once again led all Broncos tight ends in snap percentage, playing 56 percent of the team's offensive snaps. For the time being, it appears that the veteran has earned the trust of the Denver coaching staff and quarterback Russell Wilson, as his seven targets were the third highest in the Denver passing attack. Unfortunately, this bump in usage did not result in much for fantasy purposes with the offense continuing to struggle. Despite Saubert's climb to the top of the depth chart, the…read more

  • Leads Denver tight ends in snaps

    Saubert caught one of two targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Though Saubert didn't produce much for fantasy purposes in the contest, the 6-foot-5, 253-pounder led all Broncos tight ends in playing time. Saubert was on the field 41 of 53 offensive snaps, while Eric Tomlinson saw action on 24 offensive snaps. Albert Okwuegbunam surprisingly recorded just one snap in the loss, as he seems to have ceded top billing on the depth chart to Saubert.

  • Nabs touchdown catch Week 2

    Saubert recorded a 22-yard touchdown reception among his two targets in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Saubert narrowly missed out on reeling in a touchdown reception in the Broncos' 17-16 loss to the Seahawks in Week 1, but he came down with a tough catch in the end zone while being draped by a defender early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win. The score helped put the Broncos up 13-9 before kicker Brandon McManus tacked on an insurance field goal with 3:36 remaining. Despite his involvement in the red zone early on this season, Saubert has only drawn three targets in total and has played…read more

    Analysis: Saubert appeared in all 17 games with Denver last season, recording eight catches on 12 targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. He's been a solid blocker and consistent contributor on special teams for the Broncos, the two areas where he's likely to provide most of his value if he earns a spot on Denver's Week 1 roster.

  • Hits pay dirt in win

    Saubert caught his lone target for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Saubert operated as Denver's No. 3 tight end Sunday and was the recipient of Teddy Bridgewater's only passing touchdown of the contest. The touchdown was Saubert's first in 11 contests this season, and since he's averaging just one target per game, he'll likely need to find the end zone most weeks to deliver meaningful fantasy value. Since that can't be relied upon, Saubert should remain far off the fantasy radar.

    Analysis: Saubert played on 42 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps as he continued to operate at the team's No. 2 tight end with Albert Okwuegbunam placed on IR. The 27-year-old tight end was unable to capitalize on his increased playing time, playing well behind starter Noah Fant. Saubert is in no way an option for fantasy purposes. The 6-foot-5, 253-pounder would need both Fant and Okwuegbunam to be sidelined with injuries to see any sort of path to fantasy relevance. The Broncos will host…read more

    Analysis: With Albert Okwuegbunam (hamstring) placed on IR, Saubert saw his first action as Denver's No. 2 tight end. Unfortunately, that didn't equate to much in the way of production behind starter Noah Fant. Saubert played on just 35 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps.

  • Involved in passing game

    Saubert secured both of his targets for 36 yards in Saturday's 33-6 win over Minnesota.

    Analysis: Saubert gained most of his yardage on a 22-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter of the contest, with his involvement in the passing game a promising sign in his battle for a roster spot.

  • Not playing in season opener

    Saubert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Detroit.

    Analysis: One of five tight ends the Bears kept on the 53-man roster to begin the season, Saubert's status as a healthy inactive confirms he's the No. 5 option on the depth chart. Even if he moves up in the pecking order as the season unfolds, Saubert will likely be limited mostly to a blocking role.

  • Targeted once

    Saubert caught a 10-yard pass in the Bears' 21-19 victory over the Vikings in Week 17, and he finished the season with two receptions for 21 yards in two games.

    Analysis: With the Bears having suffered numerous injuries at tight end, Saubert was able to earn playing time at the end of the year, though his fantasy impact was minimal. He's signed through next season, though he'll likely be battling for a roster spot during training camp.
