Week 12 Fantasy Points: 13.2

Ricky Seals-Jones was featured in this column last week, and he had another big game in Week 12.

His 4 catches, 72 yards, and a touchdown were enough for a fifth-place finish among tight ends. Does it seem fluky? This is now the fourth time we've have written about Seals-Jones in recent days, and every one of those articles says "fluky" at some point in it.

That's how he was referred to in this column last week, and it's how our JJ Zachariason refers to Seals-Jones in his Week 13 transactions report. Zachariason notes that Seals-Jones has only run 18 routes on 25 snaps over the past two weeks. Meanwhile, our Akash Bhatia also notes the randomness of Seals-Jones two-game outburst in his Week 13 waiver wire piece.

Okay, it's a fluke. But both Zachariason and Bhatia (not at accounting firm) suggest adding Seals-Jones to your roster. It's clear he's got a rapport with Blaine Gabbert, and he has a great schedule during Week 15 and Week 16, the heart of the fantasy playoffs.

Could Seals-Jones be a difference maker down the stretch? Flukier things have happened.
