Catches eight passes in 2025 Woerner caught eight of nine targets for 48 yards across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact Despite operating as the Falcons' No. 2 tight end and logging a career-high 562 offensive snaps, the 28-year-old was targeted just nine times this season. Woerner's high snap count was largely a byproduct of Atlanta running the second-highest percentage of plays out of 12-personell (38.2 percent) in the NFL, as he was primarily used as a blocker. He remains under contract through the 2026 season, and with Kyle Pitts set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Woerner could compete for the Falcons' top TE spot next year.

The 28-year-old played 34 of Atlanta's 56 offensive snaps, behind starter Kyle Pitts (53) and ahead of Feleipe Franks (3). Despite the slight uptick in usage in the passing game, Woerner is not a viable option for fantasy purposes going forward. Next up for the Falcons is a matchup against the Jets in Week 13.
