O.J. Howard Not A Starting Option
4 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard appears to have taken a backseat to Rob Gronkowski. Howard played just 49 percent of the snaps compared to 93 percent for Gronkowski and was out-targeted seven to four. It seemed like Howard would rise up and be the superior tight end for fantasy, especially after head coach Bruce Arians said that Gronkowski would be used more as a blocker. That didn't happen in Week 3 and it's going to be hard to trust Howard as a starting option, even with Chris Godwin (hamstring) out and Scotty Miller (hip, groin) ailing. Howard should be left on the bench until he can carve out a bigger role.
