Indy TEs: Tamme vs. Clark

Dec 02, 2010

Tight end Jacob Tamme has been a handsome replacement for the Indianapolis Colts.

In five starts, Tamme has caught 38 passes for 369 yards and three touchdowns. Dallas Clark, the Pro Bowl tight end he replaced, caught 37 passes for 347 yards and three touchdowns in six starts.

"That stuff's nice when you're winning, I guess," said Tamme, a special teams standout who caught only six passes in his first 21/2 seasons with the Colts. "I'm just going to try to make plays when the ball's thrown to me. That's been my attitude since I got here and it certainly has been since I started playing more in the offense."

Tamme has emphasized again and again he is not Clark, who is out for the season after undergoing wrist surgery. Clark last season became the second tight end in NFL history to catch 100 passes.

Tamme has spent the past month catching more passes than any other NFL tight end and learning how much he has to learn. Every week is a new defense. Every defense does something different.

A quick update on Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew: he suffered a broken collarbone against the Broncos and is out for the season.

Fantasy Impact:

We had just posted the quote from head coach Antonio Pierce, saying it didn’t look good. It turned out it wasn’t good. Minshew looked like he was in a lot of pain after taking the his late in the game. Now we have an understanding of that pain. Desmond Ridder came on in relief and the team is expected to activate Aidan O’Connell this week from injured reserve. The Raiders visit Kansas City on Friday.

Antonio Pierce on Gardner Minshew injury: ‘It doesn’t look good.’

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said “It doesn’t look good” in regards to the shoulder injury to quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Fantasy Impact:

Minshew went down late in the game against the Broncos after taking a sack and looked to be in quite a bit of pain. He’ll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Desmond Ridder came on in replacement. He went 5-of-10 for 64 yards and was sacked twice. If Minshew is to miss time, which looks very likely, the Raiders may look to see what they have in the former Falcons quarterback. Vegas is also expected to have Aidan O’Connell back this week. The Raiders are on a short week as they head to Kansas City on Black Friday.

Romeo Doubs ruled out with concussion

Packers WR Romeo Doubs was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the 49ers with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Doubs suffered the injury while attempting a catch in the end zone and landing hard on the back of his helmet. Doubs will not return tonight and it’s almost certain he’ll be ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. If that’s the case, his next chance to return would be the following Thursday against the Lions.
