BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Did it took a few weeks for Ricky Seals-Jones to take off the rust? Sure. Has he already warmed the fantasy stove? You bet. Seals-Jones played 25 snaps combined from W1 to W3... only to log 62 (!) in Week 4 alone. He's been racking up chances since Logan Thomas went down, and just this past Sunday he did something not often heard of when it comes to tight ends: RSJ played 59 offensive snaps for a perfect 100% snap share with the Footies. Uh, oh, flex on them.
Ricky scored 3.9 PPR points in Week 4, then doubled that mark to 9.1 PPR points in Week 5, and he finally broke for a TE1 finish this past Sunday thanks to a 15.8-PPR point performance in which he scored his second touchdown of the season on a 6-target, 4-reception, 58-yard game manning the position for Washington. So it's been three games of Ricky getting 4+ targets, catching 2+ passes, and reaching 19+ yards through the air. That, considering the state of the TE position, is far from bad.
Given Seals-Jones' production, I don't think it's crazy to think he could put Logan Thomas' role in trouble once the latter comes back. In a similar snap count (Thomas at 185, Ricky at 203) in games they featured as TE1 for the team, Thomas scored 33.7 total PPR points to Seals-Jones' 28.8, and over the full season, Ricky has already overtaken Thomas and is edging him by four PPR points through Week 6. Must add-and-start weekly in pretty much every league other than the thinnest of them, as RSJ will most probably be bouncing between TE1/TE2 finishes ROS.
