C.J. Uzomah

Week 16 vs. Baltimore
C.J. Uzomah had three catches for 18 yards last week which has been the norm for him most of the season. He does have an occasion where he puts up TE1 numbers, but the issue is the Bengals have too many weapons in the passing game.

The Ravens are ranked 21st in aFPA to tight ends. In the first meeting, Uzomah had three receptions for 91 yards and 2 touchdowns against Baltimore. We don't think that will repeat. Keep Uzomah on the bench for Week 16 as a TE2.

Week 13 vs. Los Angeles Chargers
C.J. Uzomah has five catches for 18 yards over the past two games which isn't surprising considering the Bengals have focused on running the football and their receivers are an elite unit that gets most of the passes.

No reason to play Uzomah this week despite a decent matchup against the Chargers who are ranked 28th in aFPA to tight ends. Just not enough balls to go around.

Week 9 vs. Cleveland

C.J. Uzomah has been pretty consistent with his targets in 2021. You can expect 3-4 per game. Last week he had four which produced four receptions for 33 yards. Where his hidden value has been is scoring touchdowns. And of course, that is hit or miss.

Uzomah faces the Browns who are ranked 12th in aFPA to tight ends. If you need a tight end because of the bye week or injury, he ranks a high-end TE2 for Week 9. Play him and hope for a touchdown and it will be worth the start.
