Austin Seferian-Jenkins finally returned to the field after a 10-game absence this Sunday, and standing at 6’5”, he figures to make for a great addition to Jameis Winston's arsenal for the rest of the season.
And just as he hops back onto the field after garnering six targets in his first game back (second-most on the team), his second game back happens to be against the New Orleans Saints, who give up fantasy points to tight ends like Vegas gives out Poker chips. Don’t believe me? Ask Greg Olsen, Delanie Walker, and Jordan Reed, who’ve each scored twice against them in a single game this season.
And in Week 15, ASJ and the Bucs get to square up against the St. Louis Rams, who’ve given up 100-yard games to Crockett Gillmore and Zach Miller in recent weeks. Finally, in Week 16, the Bucs get to face the Bears, who Football Outsiders rank as the 23rd-best defensive unit against tight ends.
With a mouth-watering schedule the next three weeks, those living the streaming life at tight end should have their sights set on ASJ as their first option. And if you're able to get him, you can probably just ride him out for the rest of your playoff schedule.
