The Baltimore Ravens selected Alabama TE Josh Cuevas in Round 5 of the NFL Draft. The Ravens took Cuevas after selecting TE Matthew Hibner in Round 4. Cuevas flashed a bit as a receiver with 37 catches for 411 yards and 4 TDs. He also offers enough blocking upside to compete with Hibner for the No. 2 spot on the Ravens. Among the 27 TEs who attended the NFL Combine, Cuevas ranked 13th in team market share of of receptions (15.4%) and 14th in team market share of receiving yards (14.0%). He ranked 15th in yards per team pass attempt (1.15) and 22nd in yards per route run (1.25).
2026 Fantasy Football Impact
Cuevas will compete with Hibner to be the No. 2 TE behind Mark Andrews. Though he offers a touch more receiving upside than Hibner, Cuevas’ role will likely settle as a blocker in the NFL. That position, combined with the Round 5 draft capital, makes Cuevas undraftable in redraft.
Dynasty Impact
For dynasty, Cuevas could offer a bit more receiving upside over Hibner if he can emerge. Ultimately, neither look like a future fantasy contributor at the position.
Cuevas is unlikely to crack the sheer amount of rookie TEs that will be available in rookie drafts. He should be left on the waiver wire with his role likely not contributing to fantasy production.
