Miami Dolphins tight end Jordan Cameron started out his season with two decent games, catching a combined seven passes for 135 yards. However, he's managed just 90 yards in his last four games and has one score.
Fantasy football start/sit, Week 8: Jordan Cameron has been quiet
Cameron hasn’t been able to perform even with quarterback Ryan Tannehill tearing it up. Should fantasy owners use him on a short week?

The good news is that Cameron was targeted at least eight times in three of those four matchups. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has completed his last 25 passes, but only two of those were to Cameron. Perhaps the QB is just going away from Cameron, but there is still some hope based on the past month.
This week, he gets what should be a high-scoring game against the New England Patriots. The Patriots have actually been tough against tight ends, ranking as the 11th-toughest matchup on the season. They've also done a nice job against pass-first offenses with above-average tight ends, too.
Fantasy impact: This is a tough one. Cameron is worth owning in most leagues, so unless you’re holding two tight ends you might want to start him. If there is a better tight end on the waiver wire, it’s not such a bad idea to drop a guy who is just TE23 in PPR.
