Will miss time in spring Fletcher (undisclosed) is not expected to participate in spring practice due to injury, Chris Iseman of the Asbury Park Press reports.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Out for season Fletcher (undisclosed) is out for the remainder of the season, Brian Fonseca of The Star Ledger reports.

Impact Fletcher will miss the remainder of the 2024 season due to an undisclosed injury. It's a big blow for the Scarlet Knights to lose the team's top tight end. The junior had 20 catches (on 30 targets) for 137 yards and two touchdowns in six games this season. With No. 2 tight end Victor Konopka (undisclosed) also out for the season, Mike Higgins and Logan Blake are set for increased roles.

Logs under 10 yards again Fletcher logged one reception (on four targets) for seven yards during Saturday's 42-7 loss to Wisconsin.

Impact Fletcher saw fewer than six targets for the first time since Week 2. The junior tight end has been one of the Scarlet Knights' most consistent pass-catchers this season, but the team's passing game has fallen off the rails over the past two weeks with quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis completing just 27 of 69 total passing attempts versus Nebraska and Wisconsin. Fletcher will look to aid a bounce-back performance for his team's passing game during this coming Saturday's contest versus UCLA.

OCTOBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Four catches in win Fletcher logged four receptions (on six targets) for 21 yards during Friday's 21-18 win over Washington.

Impact Fletcher logged just one less target than leading wide receiver Ian Strong on Friday. This was also the junior tight end's second-most targets through the first four games of the season. Yet, he still fell below 35 receiving yards for the third time this year, as he's now averaged 7.6 yards per catch this season. Fletcher's best hope for fantasy relevance will be if he can get into the end zone more moving forward. However, the Scarlet Knights' dedication to the running game with star ball-carrier Kyle Monangai will limit the tight end's opportunities.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs nine targets versus Hokies Fletcher hauled in seven of nine targets for 61 yards during Saturday's 26-23 win versus Virginia Tech.

Impact Fletcher nearly doubled his production from the first two weeks of the season, leading the Scarlet Knights in targets in what was their first truly competitive game of the season. The junior tight end was a non-factor during the first two seasons of his career, but he seems to be among Rutgers top-three pass-catchers this season along with wideouts Dymere Miller and Ian Strong. These three combined for 22 targets from quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis, who went 16-for-25 passing for 269 yards Saturday. This is still a run-first offense, but Fletcher's significant target share indicates he could be one of the more valuable fantasy tight ends in the Big Ten moving forward this season.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Second-leading receiver in win Fletcher hauled in all four targets for 31 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 44-7 victory against Howard.

Impact Fletcher scored the first touchdown of his career on a play-action pass for a walk-in three-yard score early in the fourth quarter. The converted defensive end's debut at his new position provides some encouragement, as it looks like he's already secured the TE1 role for Rutgers. Yet, Fletcher's overall fantasy relevance will be tied to his potential as a big-bodied red-zone threat, as the team is once again expected to utilize a very run-heavy offense this season.
