Almost as soon as he burst onto the scene, Austin Seferian-Jenkins found himself back on most league's waiver wire. He followed up a three-game touchdown streak with 115 total yards and no scores over the three weeks heading into his Week 11 bye. As a result, many owners didn't feel the need to hold onto him through the bye week, which has given us an opportunity to stream him this week.
Seferian-Jenkins saw nine targets in his last game, which marked his fifth game in his last six that he has seen at least five targets. He'll look to carry that streak into a Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, who have been one of the league's worst defenses against tight ends on a per-target basis.
After allowing the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends last season, Carolina has appeared to take a step forward this year. However, it is quite possible that their good counting stats against the position is actually due to facing teams that don't throw to tight ends very often. The fact that they have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per target to the position would back up that theory.
Seferian-Jenkins is someone who we have seen produce at the level of an every-week starter this season, so he is certainly worth your attention as a streamer this week.
