# Walt: An unsigned WalterFootball 2026 fantasy tight end ranking listing players 11 through 20, with projected receptions, receiving yards and fantasy point totals for each. **Claimed:** Aug 1, 2026 **Pundit:** Walt — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/walt **Outlet:** Walter Football — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/walter-football **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://walterfootball.com/fantasy2026tightends_2.php 31 checkable claims — 30 player season numbers and 1 fantasy ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 20 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > Gunnar Helm is an athletic tight end with loads of upside now that Chig Okonkwo is gone. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Greg Dulcich to record 113 fantasy points** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Greg Dulcich, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet - **Juwan Johnson to record 850 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **David Njoku to record 65 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: David Njoku, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **AJ Barner to record 68 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: AJ Barner, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Gunnar Helm to record 117 fantasy points** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Gunnar Helm, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **AJ Barner to record 650 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: AJ Barner, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brenton Strange to record 117 fantasy points** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brenton Strange to record 71 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jake Ferguson to record 740 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Jake Ferguson, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **T.J.
