Austin Seferian-Jenkins

Week 4 vs. New York Jets

With Blake Bortles throwing for just 155 yards last Sunday versus the Titans, Austin Seferian-Jenkins saw five targets, leading to three catches for 18 yards. The consistency with the Jaguars TE continued, as he has seen exactly five looks every game this season, resulting in three grabs in each contest. Seferian-Jenkins' nine receptions have totaled 66 yards and a Week 2 score. He should only be used as a TE2 option versus a pretty good Jets pass defense this week.

Week 2 vs. New England Patriots

With the Jaguars defense and ground game controlling the game against the Giants in Week 1, Austin Seferian-Jenkins saw five targets, resulting in three receptions for 25 yards. Blake Bortles completed only 18 passes in the win but could have a bigger role versus the Patriots on Sunday if the running game has issues due to Leonard Fournette's injured hamstring. Houston tight ends totaled 38 receiving yards versus New England last week, so don’t expect a big game from Seferian-Jenkins.

Fantasy Upside

The Jaguars signed Seferian-Jenkins to a two-year, $10 million contract during free agency this offseason, beating out the Saints and Seahawks, who also showed interest in signing the No. 38 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Last year, Seferian-Jenkins turned his career around with the Jets, posting career-highs in receptions (50) and receiving yards (357) after battling alcoholism issues early in his career with the Buccaneers. Although "ASJ" isn't much of a threat with the ball in his hands, he can move the chains as a possession receiver and has the size and athleticism to help Blake Bortles as a red-zone weapon. Worth noting: The Jaguars, who reportedly wanted to take a tight end in April's draft, ultimately passed on the position.

Fantasy Downside

Seferian-Jenkins has never been a consistent producer and the Jaguars haven't leaned heavily on the tight end position in recent years.

2018 Bottom Line

As Bleacher Report noted, upon closer review, Seferian-Jenkins' upside was apparent last season: He finished with only three touchdown receptions, but he caught two other touchdowns that were reversed upon review—and both were fantastic plays. So yes; ASJ is a viable fantasy TE2. But nobody should expect high-end, week-to-week production.
