Austin Seferian-Jenkins could see a big role on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

This is no surprise, with the Bucs missing receiver Mike Evans today. The Saints have been humiliated on defense throughout the season and tight ends have been lighting them up, as well. Plus, quarterback Mike Glennon played well against the Steelers in Week 4.
Seferian-Jenkins played on every snap last week and he was able to account for three catches for 44 yards. It was really his first chance to perform and now he’ll have a full week of practice. Plus, the Saints tend to blitz young quarterbacks, which means Seferian-Jenkins will be the hot receiver quite a bit.
Fantasy impact: If you don’t like your tight end, Seferian-Jenkins is absolutely worth a stash and possibly a play this week. He’s more of a high-upside TE2 in standard and PPR formats.
