Lands practice squad deal in WAS
The Commanders signed Cager to the practice squad Wednesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cager wasn't able to make the Commanders' 53-man roster, but he'll stay in the organization to provide tight end depth behind Zach Ertz, John Bates, Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff. Cager logged four catches (on six targets) for 54 yards across three preseason games.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Darren Waller's retirement in the offseason cracked open a door for Cager to potentially compete for increased playing time in 2024, as neither third-year tight end Daniel Bellinger nor rookie Theo Johnson have a stranglehold on the starting role. However, multiple injuries during training camp have limited Cager's ability to make an impression and may impact his chance of making the roster altogether. If he does avoid getting cut, Cager seems certain to be third on the pecking order behind Bellinger and Johnson, at least at the start of the campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could step up with Waller done
Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic lists Cager as a candidate to see more targets following Darren Waller's retirement, along with Daniel Bellinger and Theo Johnson.
ANALYSIS
Bellinger and Johnson are the two obvious candidates to fill the gap at tight end created by Waller's retirement, but Cager has also been getting frequent opportunities throughout OTAs and minicamp. Cager began his NFL career as a wide receiver but converted to tight end in 2022. Bellinger has just 523 yards and two touchdowns through two seasons, while Johnson is a rookie fourth-round pick, so the 6-foot-5 Cager has a chance to emerge as the best pass catcher out of the group.
