Dalton Keene

23-Year-Old Tight EndTE
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Though neither Keene nor fellow 2020 third-rounder Devin Asiasi are threats to supplant the team's top two tight ends (Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith), the Patriots no doubt would like to see added contributions from Keene and/or Asiasi. Since being taken 101st overall out of Virginia Tech, Keene has recorded just three catches for 16 yards in six regular-season games. The 23-year-old spent last season on injured reserve, but he's presumably past the knee injury that landed him there and will look to reclaim his roster spot ahead of the 2022 campaign.

ANALYSIS
Keene ended the regular season on Denver's practice squad, where he spent most of the 2022 campaign, but the Broncos opted not to sign him to a futures deal, making the tight end a free agent. The Virginia Tech product was drafted by the Patriots in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and he caught three of five targets for 16 yards across six appearances as a rookie but hasn't appeared in a game since.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Keene, who the Patriots took 101st overall in last year's draft, finished his rookie season with just three catches on five targets for 16 yards in six games. Meanwhile, fellow rookie Devin Asiasi logged two catches on seven targets for 39 yards and a TD in nine contests. It was hardly the production the Patriots were looking for when they used a pair of third-round picks to bolster their tight end depth chart. The team wasted no time seeking upgrades in free agency this offseason, signing Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith to lucrative deals. In that context, Keene's path to targets in 2021 is murky, but he's versatile enough to earn snaps at fullback, which could help him carve out a complementary role in the New England offense.
After years of enjoying top-level production from Rob Gronkowski, the tight end position became largely an afterthought in the Patriots' passing game last season. As April's NFL Draft approached, the Patriots' depth chart at the position consisted of Matt LaCosse and Ryan Izzo. With that in mind, the team doubled down by taken both Keene and Devin Asiasi in the third round. Both players have some long-term fantasy upside, but with a QB transition on tap in the wake of Tom Brady's departure, neither figures to be a reliable lineup option out of the gate. Keene posted modest volume at Virginia Tech, but his per-target efficiency was notable thanks to his standout work after the catch. With an athletic profile similar to Austin Hooper's, the 6-4, 253-pound Keene - who just turned 21 in April - has the potential to ascend to a starting job, especially now that LaCosse has opted out of the 2020 season.
