Endries departed the Shrine Bowl with an undisclosed "minor" injury. He also dealt with some undisclosed injuries during the 2025 season, from what I can gather. Endries was mainly an underneath option with a more limited route tree. In 2025, 68.9% of his targets were within nine yards of the line of scrimmage or behind it. 48.9% of his routes in 2025 were flats, crossers, or screens. He can be a safe, dependable zone coverage option for a passing offense. He gets up to top speed quickly with average long speed (4.62 40-yard dash). He's not an explosive area mover, though. He had 57th percentile or lower marks in the shuttle and 3 cone. Endries flashes fluid hips up the seam. He can adjust to targets behind him and instantly turn back into a RAC threat. He doesn't have the strength or raw speed to be a massive YAC threat. Endries finishes college with only 13 missed tackles forced (124 receptions) and 5.3 yards after the catch per reception. Endries has solid hands with only one drop over his final two collegiate seasons and a 59.4% contested catch rate. His play strength shows up at the catch point more than with the ball in his hands. He made a nice contested catch in 2025 against Caleb Downs. Endries is a passable blocker at best. He's not an explosive people mover, but he can redirect traffic in a pinch. He doesn't seem to have that tenacity to put a defender in the dirt. Dynasty Outlook: Endries was drafted in the seventh round by the Cincinnati Bengals. Mike Gesicki is a free agent after the 2027 season, but the team did draft Erick All in 2024. Who knows if All can stay healthy at this point, but he could compete with Endries for the TE2 role for Cincy this year. Endries is a solid taxi squad option in tight-end premium formats.
