Blake Whiteheart
TE
Cleveland Browns
- Quarterback Deshaun Watson is questionable. Watch the status.
- Teammate Denzel Boston (a top target) is questionable.
- Teammate Harold Fannin Jr. (a top target) is questionable.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how TEs have played against the Buccaneers in the 2026 season.

How Blake Whiteheart should do vs the BuccaneersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Buccaneers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Blake Whiteheart has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Buccaneers opponents to line them up with: the best TE they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Blake Whiteheart will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Buccaneers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Blake Whiteheart's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Blake Whiteheart usually produces.
Projected is Blake Whiteheart's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Buccaneers were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.
| Wk | Opp | Tgt | Rec | ReYd | ReTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | JAX | 1 | 1 | 14 | 0 | 2.4 |
| 2 | TB | 2 | 1 | 17 | 1 | 8.7 |
| 6 | BAL | 1 | 1 | 8 | 0 | 1.8 |
| 8 | PIT | 1 | 1 | 9 | 0 | 1.9 |
| Whiteheart avg | 1.3 | 1.0 | 12.0 | 0.3 | 3.7 | |
| Buccaneers TE1 avg | 7.0 | 5.0 | 78.0 | 1.0 | 18.8 | |
| Difference | +5.8 | +4.0 | +66.0 | +0.8 | +15.1 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Whiteheart averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Prediction & chance to scoreBlake Whiteheart vs the Buccaneers
Prediction for Blake Whiteheart
Nobody knows which slot Blake Whiteheart will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Buccaneers.
I predict about 1.3 points for Blake Whiteheart if playing as a TE1. Blake Whiteheart has averaged 2.4 over 1 game, and the Buccaneers have given up 18.8 to TE1s (+83% vs the league average of 10.3).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Blake Whiteheart scored: Wk 1 2.4. Average 2.4; weighted toward recent games it is 1.1.
2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Buccaneers allowed 18.8 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is +83%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +21% adjustment (x1.21).
4. Result. 1.1 x 1.21 = 1.3. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Blake Whiteheart is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (1.3) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 0.8 points, leaning on Blake Whiteheart's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical TE swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 1.
With only 1 game of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
