Whiteheart had two catches on six targets for four yards over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteheart spent the entire season on the Browns' 53-man roster as the team's third tight end. Cleveland's tight ends turned out to be major targets, but he was never a factor in the passing attack, even in the final few games when injuries hit both David Njoku (knee) and Harold Fannin (groin). Whiteheart enters restricted free agency this offseason.

Whiteheart was unable to secure his lone target over 32 snaps in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

EDGE Analysis

It was just the fifth target in 16 games for Whiteheart, who has served mostly as a blocker this season. He led Browns tight ends in snaps after starter Harold Fannin (groin) was removed late in the first quarter. Whiteheart is not expected to gain a larger share of targets if the Browns decide to sit Fannin for the regular-season finale next Sunday against the Bengals. With Fannin sidelined for most of Week 17's contest, Sal Cannella led Cleveland's tight ends with four targets.

Whiteheart (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteheart's practice snaps weren't capped during Thursday's session, which puts him on track to play against the Patriots on Sunday. The third-year tight end played 35 snaps on offense in Week 7 against the Dolphins, and his snap count could remain elevated for Week 8 if David Njoku (knee) is not cleared to play.

Whiteheart (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteheart was nursing a shoulder leading up to the Browns' Week 7 clash against the Dolphins, but he was cleared to play and finished with a season-high 35 offensive snaps due to the absence of David Njoku (knee). Whiteheart's shoulder issue limited him in the first practice of the week, but he'll have two more chances to log a full session and avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Whiteheart caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Dolphins in Week 7.

EDGE Analysis

The tight end got a bump in playing time, playing a season-high 35 snaps (61 percent), due to David Njoku (knee) being inactive. Whiteheart is a blocker first at the position and a receiver second, however. He has two catches on three targets for four yards in 2025.

Whiteheart (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteheart was limited in practice Wednesday, but he now appears to have returned to full health. After playing a season-high 22 snaps on offense during Cleveland's loss to the Steelers in Week 6, Whiteheart may now get a chance to handle No. 2 tight end reps behind rookie Harold Fannin if David Njoku (knee) is unable to suit up at home against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Whiteheart was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteheart played a season-high 22 snaps on offense during the Browns' 23-9 loss to the Steelers in Week 6, but he appears to have picked up a shoulder injury in the process. He has two more chances this week to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's home tilt against the Dolphins. If cleared to play Sunday, Whiteheart would be slated to serve as the Browns' TE2 behind rookie third-rounder Harold Fannin if David Njoku is sidelined due to a knee injury.

Whiteheart recorded a reception for zero yards on his lone target in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteheart was credited with his first start of the season with Cleveland opening its first possession with a three-tight end set, but the 25-year-old still finished a distant third in playing time among the position group. Harold Fannin paced Browns tight ends by playing 66 of the Browns' 82 snaps, David Njoku played 36 snaps and Whiteheart brought up the rear with 22 snaps. Njoku likely would have seen more time if he hadn't been forced out of the game in the second half due to a knee issue, which now clouds his status for a Week 7 matchup with the Dolphins. If Njoku ends up sitting out that game, Whiteheart would be in store for a boost in snaps, though he likely wouldn't see enough target volume to warrant much intrigue for fantasy purposes.

Whiteheart did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Lions in Week 4.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteheart is operating as Cleveland's third tight behind David Njoku and Harold Fannin. Sunday's target was the first of the season for Whiteheart.

Whiteheart (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plan Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whiteheart gained clearance with full participation in practice Friday following a pair of limited sessions. He's a distant third on the depth chart behind David Njoku and rookie third-round pick Harold Fannin.
