2023 Fantasy Outlook
Whyle joined Alec Pierce and Tre Tucker as University of Cincinnati pass catchers to be drafted in the last two years. He topped 300 receiving yards in each of his final three seasons with the Bearcats and used his 6-7, 248-pound frame to serve as a red-zone threat. He should immediately see the field thanks to Tennessee's propensity to play in two tight-end sets and will form an athletic pairing with Chigoziem Okonkwo. It may take some time, but Whyle is an intriguing name to keep in mind in deeper dynasty and tight-end premium league formats. Read Past Outlooks
Shifts to IR
The Titans placed Whyle (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Whyle was originally listed as questionable for the Titans' Week 17 affair after sustaining a knee injury during Friday's practice, but it seems as if the issue is more serious than the team originally thought. The 24-year-old will miss the remainder of Tennessee's season, making way for Trevon Wesco and Kevin Rader to possibly see more work as reserve tight end options.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get on field early
Whyle could be on the field for two tight end sets with the Titans to begin the season, Chad Reuter of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Whyle was selected in the fifth round of the 2023 Draft by the Titans. It was a good landing spot, as the team often uses multiple tight ends thanks to its run-heavy offensive philosophy. Chigoziem Okonkwo will serve as the top player at the position, though Whyle displayed athleticism throughout the draft process and could be immediately impactful for the offense.
