Clay Harbor: Deep League Tight End Option in Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Jacksonville’s offense is not being confused with Mike Martz’s “Greatest Show on Turf” teams these days, but the Jags’ young kids are beginning to show signs that they are headed in the right direction. While defenses focus the bulk of their attention on running back T.J. Yeldon and wide receivers Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson, a little-known and little-owned backup tight end is making minor waves.

After going catchless in Jacksonville’s first two games, Harbor has made himself visible by hauling in seven passes for 74 yards and a touchdown in the past two games.  The former fourth-rounder has shown that for a hulk of a man (6’3”, 250 lbs) he can get down the seams and down the field.

Harbor’s Jaguars are facing a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that is allowing close to 30 points per game, but that has kept opposing tight ends in check over the last three weeks.  Harbor might not be a sexy choice, and his window is limited to this week because the aforementioned Thomas should return soon, but there is a decent chance Blake Bortles finds him five times for 50 yards next week, and maybe once for a touchdown.
