Eric Saubert - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Happy Birthday to Eric Saubert! San Francisco 49ers tight end Eric Saubert celebrates his birthday on May 9.

MAY 9, 2024 • 49ERS.COM

Headed to Bay Area Saubert signed a one-year deal with the 49ers on Monday.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to practice squad Saubert reverted to Dallas' practice squad Monday.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted to active roster The Cowboys elevated Saubert to the active roster Saturday.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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. If the 28-year-old decides to return to the Broncos, he would likely continue to contribute in a depth role next season.

Will play Sunday Saubert (knee) is active Sunday against the Chargers.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 forward. The 28-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Jets in Week 7.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

In uniform Monday Saubert (thigh) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Chargers.

Impact Saubert was limited in practice this week, but he'll give it a go Week 6 and figures to share TE work with Greg Dulcich, who came off IR on Monday. Meanwhile, Albert Okwuegbunam was made inactive by the Broncos.

OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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 28-year-old will be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Chargers in Week 6.
