Austin Seferian-Jenkins - Week 15 vs. Carolina Panthers
Austin Seferian-Jenkins returned to practice this week, but remained in a limited session. He's on track to return, but nothing is guaranteed. Even if he does play he won't be a good option in fantasy.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins - Week 14 vs. Detroit
Austin Seferian-Jenkins didn't play last week and hasn't practiced this week, so it's a strong possibility he won't play again. Even if he does, he's a touchdown dependent tight end. He's not worth a look.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins - Week 13 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Austin Seferian-Jenkins (back) returned to practice this week. He missed most of Week 12's game against Chicago. Before he exited he finished with two receptions for 16 yards on four targets.
ASJ is a touchdown dependent option at this point. He's not likely to finish with many yards and will need a score to be relevant in fantasy. He's not a reliable option.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins - Week 12 vs. Chicago Bears
A week after having eight targets Austin Seferian-Jenkins finished with one target, a pass he caught for seven yards. ASJ has had a few games like this, making him a very unreliable option in fantasy.
There's reason for some optimism in ASJ this week, however. He faces a Chicago Bears defense that's been dreadful against tight ends. Tight ends against the Bears have caught 10 touchdowns in the last six games. ASJ is a big target in the red zone and could capitalize this week. He's a risky play, but he's bordering on low-end TE1 status.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins - Week 11 vs. Washington
Austin Seferian-Jenkins saw eight targets last week, a season high for him. This is important because it's the first time we've seen quarterback Josh McCown and ASJ play a full game together. If McCown keeps throwing to ASJ like this, he'll be a better candidate in the future.
ASJ finished the game with five receptions for 30 yards and caught his second touchdown in three games. He doesn't get many yards, so he's still not a great fantasy option at the moment. He's still a TE2.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins - Week 10 vs. Atlanta
Austin Seferian-Jenkins caught just one pass for three yards last week. It's the third game this season where ASJ has caught just one pass. Not only does he have low numbers, but he draws a brutal matchup against Atlanta this week. The Falcons have only allowed one touchdown to a tight end this season. He's not worth a look.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins - Week 9 vs. Cleveland
Austin Seferian-Jenkins caught the only touchdown for Tampa Bay last week. He also finished with three receptions for 26 yards. ASJ has 32.5 fantasy points in five games in PPR formats. In contrast, Rob Gronkowski had more than that in his last game alone.
ASJ is not a strong option at tight end until he starts putting up bigger numbers. He also draws a tough matchup against Cleveland. The Browns have only allowed a touchdown to a tight end in one game this season.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins - Week 8 vs. Minnesota
Austin Seferian-Jenkins had a career high 58 yards in the team's Week 6 game against Baltimore. He also had a career high four receptions. He's clearly the team's receiving tight end threat, but we haven't seen a whole lot from him so far. He'll need to have continued production before he's worth considering in fantasy. He's nothing more than a low-end TE2. Maybe next year.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins - Week 6 vs. Baltimore
Austin Seferian-Jenkins was on the field for 95 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 5, but he didn't make much of an impact. He saw three targets and caught just one pass for 11 yards (he dropped the other two).
It's promising to see him on the field often, but he has yet to make a huge impact in any game this season. He'll need to produce before he can be trusted in fantasy.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins - Week 5 vs. New Orleans
Austin Seferian-Jenkins returned to the lineup against Pittsburgh and played on 98 percent of the team's offensive snaps. He saw seven targets and hauled in three passes for 44 yards. The 6'5" 262-pound second round rookie is a huge receiving threat for the Buccaneers and could get more looks with Mike Evans out of the lineup.
He's an interesting option this week, but we haven't seen enough out of him to really trust him. He's a TE2 with potential.
