2026 Fantasy Outlook
Raridon could immediately slot in as the No. 2 TE behind Hunter Henry for the Patriots after being drafted in the third round, 95th overall. The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Raridon had 32 catches for 482 yards at Notre Dame in 2025, but he failed to score a TD, and posted a meager 16-141-3 line over the preceding three years. Raridon didn’t miss a game in the last two years but has torn his right ACL twice, with the most recent tear coming in October of 2022. He ran a 4.62-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, showing solid athleticism to help offset durability concerns. New England lost 2025 backup TE Austin Hooper to the Falcons in free agency, leaving a slew of young players behind Henry. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Goes to Baltimore in Reuter's mock
Chad Reuter of NFL.com's five-round mock draft has the Ravens selecting Raridon in the fifth round, 162nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Raridon had 482 receiving yards at Notre Dame in 2025 but failed to score a touchdown. He had three touchdowns over the preceding two years but only 141 receiving yards in that span. The Ravens are expected to add to their tight end room in the 2026 NFL Draft after Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar both signed elsewhere in free agency, though Raridon wouldn't be a threat to Mark Andrews' role as Baltimore's top pass catcher at the position.
