2025 Fantasy Outlook
The 6-foot-7, 248-pound Whyle is a better blocker than the 6-foot-3, 238-pound Chig Okonkwo, but Okonkwo is a better athlete who should continue to get the majority of pass catching opportunities in a Titans offense that added QB Cam Ward out of Miami with the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and drafted TE Gunnar Helm in the fourth round. While Whyle’s large frame could create mismatches by the goal line, the 2023 fifth-round draft pick has yet to demonstrate much scoring aptitude, with just 342 receiving yards and two touchdowns through 28 NFL games. Whyle scored only one of the six TDs among Tennessee’s TEs in 2024, while Okonkwo had two and journeyman Nick Vannett tallied three. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a contract with the Packers in November of 2025.
Finds end zone in win
Whyle caught a two-yard touchdown on his only target in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Whyle appeared in only his second game as a Packer, playing roughly four times as many snaps as he did in his Week 10 debut while also finding the end zone for the first time. Whyle had several semi-productive appearances with the Titans last season, and the Packers appear to be evaluating their options at the tight-end position with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season, so Whyle is now at least back on the fringes of the fantasy radar.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Whyle didn’t make much of an impact as a rookie, catching nine of 15 targets for 94 yards and one touchdown in 11 games before going on injured reserve due to a knee injury. Tennessee’s 2023 fifth-round draft pick projects to work as the top backup to Chigoziem Okonkwo in 2024. Whyle’s 6-foot-7, 248-pound frame makes him an effective blocker, and his four-inch height advantage over Okonkwo could help Whyle earn some goal-line looks. Whyle was an effective red-zone target in college, scoring 15 touchdowns over his last three years at Cincinnati.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expanded role on offense?
Matt Schneidman of The Athletic relays that Whyle could be the Packers' top pass-catching tight end for the rest of the season in the absence of Tucker Kraft.
ANALYSIS
Kraft tore his ACL during the Packers' Week 9 loss against the Panthers, and Luke Musgrave is expected to take over as Green Bay's top tight end for the rest of the season. Whyle hasn't appeared in a regular-season game for the Packers, but Schneidman notes that the 2023 fifth-rounder was deployed by the Titans more as a pass-catching tight end rather than a blocker for the 2024 campaign. Whyle -- who caught 28 passes on 37 targets for 248 yards and one touchdown across 17 regular-season games in 2024 -- will join Musgrave and John FitzPatrick as the Packers' three active tight ends for Monday's game against the Eagles.
