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
Waived by the Titans in August of 2025.
Signed to Packers' practice squad
Green Bay signed Whyle to the practice squad Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Whyle was cut by the Titans on Tuesday after failing to beat out David Martin-Robinson for the TE3 spot on the 53-man roster behind Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm. Rather than stay in Tennessee, Whyle will head to Green Bay to be a member of the team's practice squad, and he would be a top candidate to be elevated to the Packers' active roster if Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave, Ben Sims or John FitzPatrick miss any time.

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
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.
