2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kuntz dominated the NFL Scouting Combine leading up to the 2023 NFL Draft, but it will likely take the rookie seventh-round pick some time to learn to use his intriguing mix of size and speed in the NFL, and he'll have to battle for a roster spot with three players ahead of him on the Jets' tight end depth chart. Measuring over 6-7, Kuntz is the tallest player to clear 40 inches on the vertical jump, and his 4.55-second 40-yard dash was also exceptional for a player of his size. Kuntz had seven touchdowns in 18 games at Old Dominion, but he barely saw the field in three years at Penn State before that. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed to 53-man roster
The Jets signed Kuntz to the 53-man roster Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
He takes the roster spot of offensive tackle Duane Brown )back), who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. The 24-year-old Kuntz has never appeared in a regular-season game, but with Jeremy Ruckert (concussion) out for Thursday's game against the Browns and C.J. Uzomah (knee) on injured reserve, the tight end could make his NFL debut this week as a depth piece behind Tyler Conklin and Kenny Yeboah.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Third-round pick per Reuter
Chad Reuter of NFL.com has Kuntz going to the Texans in the third round of his latest four-round 2023 mock draft.
ANALYSIS
Kuntz was once pegged as a Day 3 pick, but his draft stock has soared after a standout performance at the NFL Combine. The 6-foot-7 tight end out of Old Dominion ran a 4.55-second 40-yard dash to go with a 40-inch vertical. Houston signed Dalton Schultz in the offseason, so the Texans could allow Kuntz to develop in a backup role behind the established veteran if they draft the toolsy tight end.
