Gus Ritchey - Dealing with undisclosed injury Ritchey is out until October due to an undisclosed injury, head coach Dave Doeren told Noah Fleischman of On3Sports.
Impact Ritchey was expected to be a depth option at TE for the Wolfpack, but now he's set to miss the first few contests of the regular season. Still, his absence shouldn't be a big issue from a fantasy perspective. Per Doeren, Hunter Providence and Preston Douglas will be the top two TEs to open the 2026 campaign.

The 6-foot-1 junior, who tallied 13 receptions for 178 yards and a touchdown with the Hurricanes last season, has shown out in fall camp, particularly in one-on-one drills. Trader has a unique advantage as returning starting CJ Bailey was his high school quarterback at Chaminade-Madonna in Maimi.

Hunter Provience - Setting tone for position Provience has set the tone at North Carolina State's tight end position, Noah Fleischman of On3.com reports.
Impact By impressing during North Carolina State's fall camp, Provience looks like the Wolfpack tight ends' top option. He is an all-around TE, with blocking and receiving both as excellent parts of his game. During both 2024 and 2025, with Montana State, Provience logged 100-plus receiving yards and one touchdown. The question becomes how much Provience's game translates to the FBS level and with a Power Conference program like NC State.
