He'll probably be in the slot a lot more now with 83 out.Jameis needs him, but the running game really took off when he got hurt. His snaps may be limited to passing downs if they continue to run their big package with a tackle on the end of the line as a blocking TE.
I'd think so. Sims will be split out more often as well. I don't even know who's going to be active at WR after Evans and Dye.Capella said:He'll probably be in the slot a lot more now with 83 out.Grahamburn said:Jameis needs him, but the running game really took off when he got hurt.

What a bummer.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins - TE - Buccaneers
Coach Lovie Smith said Austin Seferian-Jenkins is "not there yet" in his recovery from a strained shoulder.
Seferian-Jenkins got in his first practice since Week 2 on Wednesday, but Smith threw cold water on his status for Week 8. Pewter Report's Eric Horchy said the chances ASJ plays against Atlanta are "slim." With the Bucs' injury issues at receiver, it would be surprising if Seferian-Jenkins practiced all week but did not play, but Tampa could decide to play it safe with their second-year tight end. Seferian-Jenkins would be a great DFS play if he suits up.
This sucks...the writer of the little blurb seems to disagree a bit with the Pewter Report guy.Austin Seferian-Jenkins - TE - Buccaneers

Got really excited there was actual news lolBump for news today.
Sorry about that. Hoping we see he practiced in full!Got really excited there was actual news lolBump for news today.
He's injury prone and really not that good. His situation is not bad right now though if he can play.Here we are a week later with reports that he practiced in full on Friday... thoughts?
I grabbed him off waivers very cheap, figured they're missing VJax and the Giants D sucks. That week 1 statline was impressive. I'm concerned about the first week back from a prolonged injury but I'm curious why you say he's not good?He's injury prone and really not that good.

Keep in mind that week 1 was without Evans so he was targeted a lot.I grabbed him off waivers very cheap, figured they're missing VJax and the Giants D sucks. That week 1 statline was impressive.

Only thing that worries me is the long layoff and getting up to game speed, but yeah, it seems like everything lines up. Evans is going to have the safety cheating his way all game, plus they've got a run game and they throw to their RBs. Giants are 31st against TEs per ESPN.ASJ is a dream matchup this weekend, all things considered (Giants don't cover TE's, secondary is abysmal, VJ out).
Dude's been off for like 7 weeks....I expect him to play significant snaps.I doubt he plays tomorrow and if he does, it probably it won't be much.
based on what? full practice on fridayLooks unlikely to play at this point
I don't know what being off 7 weeks has to do with anything.Dude's been off for like 7 weeks....I expect him to play significant snaps.I doubt he plays tomorrow and if he does, it probably it won't be much.
Make it 8 weeks. Yeah sprained shoulder....hard to buy that.I don't know what being off 7 weeks has to do with anything.Dude's been off for like 7 weeks....I expect him to play significant snaps.I doubt he plays tomorrow and if he does, it probably it won't be much.
Desean Jackson thinks you are being a little harsh. It takes time to heal, bro.Make it 8 weeks.

I was fired up for the matchup. Now with him sitting, is that Brate guy worth a look?Only thing that worries me is the long layoff and getting up to game speed, but yeah, it seems like everything lines up.

Now he's saying he hasn't been cleared by the medical staff. I thought I heard he was cleared but wouldn't play unless he was 100%....?that would be great if the guy would ever play
I hear he has been cleared to play and the decision is his. From what others are saying is that he's a ####cakes for not being out there helping his team! Not sure if there is any validity to that or not? Cleared to play but not playing...hmmm.Now he's saying he hasn't been cleared by the medical staff.

What is with this guy...? Dropped Richard Rodgers for him before last week as my bench TE...that turned out great.
I'd like to see a link. Just for clarification really.I hear he has been cleared to play and the decision is his.

His team isn't making the playoffs whether he plays or not. I'd put my health first as well.I hear he has been cleared to play and the decision is his.

No link, I heard one of the talking heads on Sirius / XM fantasy radio talk about him in this regard. It was John Hansen I think? He said he didn't want any part of a guy not willing to give it a go when he is cleared to play. So, I really don't know what's going on with ASJ?I'd like to see a link.
