2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Stephen Carlson in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
Released by the Bears in August of 2025.
Elevated Saturday
TEChicago Bears
October 25, 2025
Carlson was elevated to the Bears' active roster Saturday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old's elevation provides Chicago with depth at tight end, as Cole Kmet (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens. Carlson played in the Bears' Week 4 win over the Raiders, failing to record an offensive stat across 15 total snaps (10 on offense, five on special teams). He's likely to have a depth role in Chicago's tight-end corps, playing behind Colston Loveland and Durham Smythe.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing interest from Giants
TEFree Agent
June 6, 2022
Carlson had a workout with the Giants on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The tight end missed the entire 2021 season after suffering a torn ACL in the preseason with the Browns, but he's been cleared to resume football activities. Carlson didn't contribute much on offense during his two seasons with Cleveland, but he was a core special teams player in 2020 and could provide depth to a Giants' position group that lost Evan Engram and Kyle Rudolph this offseason.
