Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins is officially active for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Seferian-Jenkins has missed nine weeks with a strained shoulder. He was finally cleared for contact on Friday. He played one full regular season game in Week 1, catching 5 of 7 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown. Sunday's game will be the second game this season that quarterback Jameis Winston has receivers Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans on the field with Seferian-Jenkins.

Fantasy impact: Seferian-Jenkins still deserves to be in the TE1 conversation, but it's reasonable to expect that he'll have to knock some rust off. He should be treated as a high-end TE2 in his first week back. Tight end Cameron Brate has scored a touchdown in back-to-back weeks, but it's likely his role will be greatly diminished with Seferian-Jenkins returning. Owned in just 32 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Seferian-Jenkins should be picked up in all leagues as we head into fantasy playoffs.
