Ricky Seals-Jones has long been a favorite streaming tight end option this season, despite disappointing results. Over the last four weeks, though, the second-year Arizona Cardinals’ tight end has stepped up his game.
For the season, Seals-Jones ranks 10th among all tight ends with 48 targets. While he has seen plenty of looks, the production has not been there with just 24 catches for 267 yards. Over the last month, though, RSJ is starting to trend in the right direction. In two of his previous four games, Seals-Jones has recorded at least 51 yards. Facing the soft Oakland Raiders' defense in Week 11 will push Seals-Jones back onto the TE1 (top-12) radar.
According to our Net Expected Points model, the Raiders sit dead-last in Target Success Rate versus tight ends this season. Their horrendous pass defense has allowed Oakland to give up the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. Two weeks ago, George Kittle roasted them for 108 yards and a score. In Week 8, the Indianapolis Colts had a trio of tight ends (Jack Doyle, Eric Ebron and Mo Alie-Cox) find the end zone, finishing with a combined 10 catches for 133 yards and 3 scores.
