Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Ricci was snapped up by the Browns after Carolina opted not to tender the restricted free agent. He's considered a block-first tight end and has experience lining up as a fullback. There's little chance he makes an impact as a receiver and will at best be the third on the TE depth chart behind David Njoku and Jordan Akins. The Browns also brought back Zaire Mitchell-Paden, who has yet to play in the NFL after signing as an undrafted free agent in 2022.
Ricci returned to the Panthers this offseason after playing 31 games for them over the prior two campaigns. In 15 contests last year, he caught eight of nine targets for 100 yards and made 10 tackles on special teams. Ahead of the 2023 season, Ricci profiles as Carolina's starting fullback and a core special-teamer.
