Browns TE Seth DeValve off to hot start

Jul 31, 2017

Rookie and first-round NFL Draft pick David Njoku grabs a lot headlines, but don’t forget about Seth DeValve in the Browns tight ends room.

It’s clear the second-year player has become a focal point in Cleveland’s offense, taking reps with the first-team offense after catching two touchdowns on 10 receptions as a rookie.

“I said this at OTAs – he is an emerging player,” Browns coach Hue Jackson said Sunday. “I really liked Seth coming out (of college). Last year, I think he would be the first to tell you with all of the injuries and the newness of the National Football League that it was tough.”

Fantasy Impact:

It's still early, but it's worth nothing Njoku has struggled early on as DeValve has performed well.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
