Fantasy Football: 5 Tight Ends You Can Trust
Austin Seferian-Jenkins, New York Jets
Besides being an awesome story and a guy to root for, Austin Seferian-Jenkins has been an absolute beast on the football field since returning from a two-game suspension for the New York Jets. From Week 3 until Week 6, Seferian-Jenkins is 4th in total scoring among tight ends. He'd be even higher on the list if he hadn't been robbed of a second touchdown in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots on a call that the league office has since admitted they blew.
Since returning from suspension, no tight end has more catches than Sefarian-Jenkins' 23, and only Zach Ertz has more targets than the 29 than ASJ has been fed by quarterback Josh McCown. Part of the reason is the Jets really have no other quality pass-catching options, but another reason is that Sefarian-Jenkins is an absolutely massive target at 6'5", 262 pounds. He's taken full advantage of that hulking frame with touchdowns in two straight games.
While he may not be a popular pick as a tight end you can trust, the Jets still don't have any wide receivers, which means Seferian-Jenkins should be a reliable starter for your fantasy team going forward. If you're lucky, he may even still be available on your league's waiver wire.
