BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Chasing tight ends has become a weekly national tradition. Those of us who have been playing fantasy football for long already know the drill: either you draft Tony Gonzalez/Antonio Gates/Rob Gronkowski/Jimmy Graham/Travis Kelce/George Kittle/Darren Waller or you're inevitably going to be digging deep into your WW to stream the best-looking player available for free Sunday after Sunday. And this weekend, that's C.J. Uzomah.
The Bengals had to claw their way back from a 14-point deficit to defeat the putrid Jags, and CJ had a ton to do with snatching that W for Cincy. Keep in mind this is most probably an outlier game in Uzomah's career, but given the scarcity of talent at the tight end position, you never know and you'd better be safe than sorry at the end of the day. CJ put up a 6-5-95-2 against a defense in that of Jacksonville that just couldn't do a thing to stop the TE.
Uzomah's prior three games this season were far from this explosion no matter how you look at them: he's scored 5.5, then 2.4, then 0.0 PPR points in those three first weeks of the season catching 4 of 5 total targets. That three-game line is worse than his W4 one alone. That's why this is highly unsustainable. But again, the position is so thing that you at least know what this Uzomah-Burrow pair can do together, even if it's only a couple of times per season and we're past one of those already. Don't lose your head chasing Uzomah, but considering a reasonable player to stream in soft matchups.
