Michael Jenkins back and already making an impact (1 Viewer)

[Raiderfan32904]

5/99 on 11 targets in his first game back from injury this year. Atlanta is one of the better teams, and with Roddy White and Henry Douglas, does his role expand much? Jenkins has had back to back 50 catch seasons. Grab and stash.... or Grab and start against the Bengals?

(RotoWire) Jenkins grabbed five passes for a team-high 99 yards in his season debut on Sunday.Analysis: Jenkins had missed the first five games of the season with a shoulder injury, but was very productive against Philadelphia. Roddy White is clearly the top option in Atlanta's passing attack, although Jenkins is talented enough to be a factor and has a rapport with Matt Ryan.

As an FYI, he's been in the league since 2004 and the 99 yards represents a career high.

Oh I understand he's a 7 year vet. But the 11 targets is something that kinds of stands out. You think it's a mirage? Is there any other good reasons to not like his chances?

I didn't watch the game, but weren't the Falcons playing from behind the entire game? I'd imagine they are going to run the ball down the Browns' throat and not be down multiple TDs...

Yeah, he posed a good reason above. The 99 is his all time best yardage total. Unless you think he's going to suddenly be great (hey, Brandon Lloyd is doing it), I don't see a reason to get too excited.

I was under the impression that the only reason Jenkins sees the field is because of his blocking abilities.

Yes, they were. He also dropped a ball that was catchable. Not saying he won't hold some value in fantasy, but the guy is not exactly a break out candidate given his age. We know who he is and what he is IMO.
