ANALYSIS: Hey, hey! Seferian-Jenkins stayed healthy for two games in a row! So this means he should be safe to steal off the waiver wire if he is still available in your league.
It is amazing how well rookie quarterback Jameis Winston has played this year when his second and third-best options in Tampa Bay’s passing attack, Vincent Jackson and Seferian-Jenkins, have been out for the bulk of the campaign. And now that Jackson is out again with another knee injury, Seferian-Jenkins will certainly see more passes come his way.
Seferian-Jenkins is an ultra-talented tight end with wide receiver-like skills. While he has not been able to show off those skills very often this season due to a serious shoulder injury, fantasy owners know what he is capable of. He is coming off back-to-back identical lines of three receptions (six targets) for 31 yards in last two outings. He is ready to do much more.
A.S.J. and his burgeoning Buccaneers have to play at St. Louis this Thursday night. The Rams, who seemingly play every week at their home dome, have allowed 100-yard games to Chicago’s Zach Miller (more about him shortly) and Baltimore’s Crockett Gillmore over the past month, so Seferian-Jenkins should find plenty of empty acres to make grabs.
A healthier Seferian-Jenkins and an injured Jackson mean doubly good things for Tampa Bay’s tight end. Do not be surprised if he has a seven-catch, 80-yard game this week that helps him move up fantasy draft boards for 2016.
