The Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded away promising young tight end 80% of the Buccaneers offensive plays on Sunday, which was more than other tight ends Seferian-Jenkins (36%) and Luke Stocker (25%) combined. The coaching staff trusts him as a veteran, and he's proven to be productive and efficient as a short-yardage target in the passing game.
Which means the biggest fantasy football takeaway from Sunday's season opener in Tampa is that Austin Seferian-Jenkins is in the same situation most rookie tight ends find themselves in. He's stuck at the bottom of the depth chart, and despite showing obvious advantages in terms of skill and ability in the passing game, his floor remains low due to the well-documented issues with rookies at the position fitting in early in their NFL careers.
And from a real football perspective, it calls into question the decision to trade Wright, who posted better per-target NEP numbers last year than Myers ever has in his NFL career. The Buccaneers badly needed a left guard, and made a trade to get one, but now may be lacking for receiving options on an offense that was already destined for the NFL's basement this season.
