Jacob Tamme has had success with Leonard Hankerson out of the lineup the past two weeks -- averaging 8 catches for 82 yards and .5 touchdowns. With Hankerson on the mend and expected back, the decision on whether to roll Tamme out in your lineup becomes murkier.
While he is almost assured to see a reduction in his targets -- 22 over the past two games -- the Falcons are taking on the Indianapolis Colts, a team that has surrendered a touchdown to a tight end four weeks in a row.
Tamme has flown under the radar all season while quietly posting the ninth best Reception NEP per target this season (among tight ends with at least 40 targets). However the concern regarding his workload reduction is real.
A healthy implied team total of 26.5 should have plenty of scoring opportunities up for grabs in Atlanta this weekend, keeping him on the radar for the tight end streamers out there.
