2025 Fantasy Outlook
Whiteheart had a couple of stints on the Browns' active roster in 2024, serving mostly as a blocking tight end behind David Njoku. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski, who normally values multiple TE sets, got away from that approach in 2024, which was supposed to be all about quarterback Deshaun Watson and the wideouts. After the team's spectacular flameout, expect the coach to return to his roots, although Whiteheart will have to beat out third-round draft pick Harold Fannin, coming off a 117-catch season at Bowling Green.

Signed a one-year contract with the Browns in April of 2025.
Could play Week 1
Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Sunday that Whiteheart (knee) is potentially available for the Browns' Week 1 contest against the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 7, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Whiteheart suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of the Browns' preseason finale against the Rams on Sunday. The good news for the third-year tight end is that the injury isn't considered severe enough for him to be ruled out for Cleveland's regular-season opener, and his practice participation over the next two weeks should shed light on whether he'll be cleared to play in Week 1. Brendan Bates would be the top candidate to fill in as the Browns' TE3 behind David Njoku and Harold Fannin if Whiteheart is unable to play.
