Crown Royal Water Break: Chris Manhertz J.P. Shadrick catches up with tight end Chris Manhertz after practice for the Crown Royal Water Break.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • JAGUARS.COM

Secures lone target Manhertz caught his only target for seven yards during Thursday's 24-21 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Manhertz started and led Jacksonville's tight ends with 24 offensive snaps, but Dan Arnold, Luke Farrell and Jacob Hollister all saw double-digit snaps. Most notable is Arnold, as he was only acquired from the Panthers on Monday and caught both his targets for 29 yards in his debut with the Jags. Manhertz should continue to play regular snaps as a blocking specialist, but Arnold should see more and more playing time as he gets more accustomed to his new offense.

Not targeted in defeat Manhertz wasn't targeted and played 25 offensive snaps during Sunday's 31-19 loss to Arizona.

Impact The 29-year-old received the start at tight end with James O'Shaughnessy (knee) on injured reserve, but Jacob Hollister ended up leading the position group with 46 offensive snaps. Hollister caught only two of six targets for 15 yards, while Luke Farrell played only 17 snaps and caught his lone target for minus-1 yard. The Jaguars clearly were unhappy with what they were seeing out of their tight ends and opted to acquire Dan Arnold from the Panthers on Monday, who will be a candidate to immediately take over the starting role.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • Associated Press

Starting spot open Manhertz could have an increased role with James O'Shaughnessy (ankle) facing an indefinite absence, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Manhertz wasn't targeted and played only 27 offensive snaps during Sunday's loss to Denver despite the fact O'Shaughnessy went down early with the injury. Luke Farrell caught one pass for six yards while playing 36 offensive snaps and may be the teams new top option at tight end in the passing game. Manhertz should continue to play plenty of snaps with O'Shaughnessy, out but he'll likely continue to see most of his work as a blocker.

Scores on lone target Manhertz caught his only target for a 22-yard touchdown during Sunday's 37-21 loss to Texans.

Impact The 29-year-old was expected to begin the season as the starting tight end after inking a two-year, $6.65 million deal in the offseason, but James O'Shaughnessy ended up receiving the nod. Manhertz played only 35 percent of the offensive snaps, but he still was able to secure the second touchdown of his career. He won't have much relevance in fantasy even if he takes over the starting role given the lack of receiving production throughout his career as he continues to work mostly as a blocker.

Catches lone target Manhertz caught his only target for 15 yards during Sunday's preseason win over the Cowboys.

Impact Manhertz played only eight offensive snaps and connected with Trevor Lawrence for a 15-yard gain in the first quarter. The 29-year-old played sparingly throughout the preseason and caught his only other target for five yards. Manhertz inked a two-year, $7.25 million deal with Jacksonville in March and should have a regular role in the offense, but with 12 receptions in 70 career games his outlook entering Week 1 at Houston remains that of a blocking-oriented tight end. James O'Shaughnessy may be more involved in the passing game at the position for the Jaguars.

Signs with Jags Manhertz is signing a two-year, $7.25 million contract with the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The deal includes $4.25 million guaranteed, a nice sum for a blocking specialist. Manhertz has 12 receptions on 1,531 offensive snaps in 70 NFL appearances.

MARCH 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Completes fifth season Manhertz finished the 2020 season with six catches on eight targets for 52 yards in 16 games played.

Impact Manhertz once again filled a blocking role within Carolina's offense, only catching a few passes on the year. Having been with the Panthers all five years of his career, it'll be interesting to see whether the veteran returns to the team in free agency this offseason.

JANUARY 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Catches one pass Manhertz caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Manhertz, whose specialty is blocking, is yet to make multiple receptions in a game this season, but his one grab Sunday at least got him on the stat sheet.
