C.J. Uzomah Tough Sell Against Saints
6 years agoC.J Uzomah could see increased targets with A.J. Green sidelined against the Saints, but his recent track record and the Saints ability to shut down opposing tight end's give some reason for concern. Uzomah has two or fewer catches in three of the four games that he's been the primary tight end, and he has seen two or fewer targets in four of his last five games played. Additionally, New Orleans has allowed just one tight end touchdown this season, and have only given up more than 39 yards to the position in one game (Week 9 against the Rams). However, the expected full complement of snaps and targets with Green out should push Uzomah into the streaming category for Week 10, given how shallow the position has been this year.
