DEN TE Jacob Tamme - Week 12, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 – Jacob Tamme vs. Miami Dolphins
With both Emmanuel Sanders and Julius Thomas out due to injuries last week in St. Louis, Peyton Manning looked a lot to his veteran TE. On 10 targets, Jacob Tamme collected four catches for 31 yards. If Julius is okay to go on Sunday, then don’t bother starting Tamme. However, if Thomas is out, No. 84 could make for a sneaky start as Manning will definitely come his way.

DEN TE Jacob Tamme - Week 7, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 – Jacob Tamme vs. San Francisco 49ers
With Wes Welker back in the lineup, Jacob Tamme’s fantasy value has taken a big plunge. Julius Thomas is getting most of the TE looks so there is no reason for Tamme to be on your fantasy roster.

DEN TE Jacob Tamme - Week 6, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 – Jacob Tamme vs. New York Jets
Of Peyton Manning’s 479 passing yards last week against the Cardinals, Jacob Tamme registered just a 17 yard reception. Now that Wes Welker is back, there are just too many weapons for Manning to choose from. Despite two TDs in four games, Tamme is not worth a fantasy roster spot.

DEN TE Jacob Tamme - Week 5, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 – Jacob Tamme vs. Arizona Cardinals
The backup TE has only three catches on the season, but two of them have gone for TDs, including a game-tying score at Seattle two weeks ago. Jacob Tamme likely isn’t going to see enough targets to warrant even a fantasy roster spot, but he and Julius Thomas have combined to catch seven of Peyton Manning’s eight touchdown passes in ’14.

Fantasy Upside
Denver’s backup TE was targeted 25 times last season, leading to 20 catches for 184 yards and a score. In two seasons with the Broncos Jacob Tamme has played in every contest and has earned the trust of Peyton Manning, whom he also played with for three seasons in Indianapolis.

Fantasy Downside
With the emergence of Julius Thomas, Tamme was an afterthought in the Broncos passing game in ’13. After being the main TE in ’12 in which he recorded 55 receptions, Jacob’s playing time and looks took a big drop. The emergence of Thoms will again lead to him being the main TE in the offense, limiting Tamme’s playing time and targets.

Bottom Line
With Denver’s potent passing game Jacob is a nice fill-in if Thomas gets injured, but the veteran out of Kentucky isn’t expected to be much of a factor again this season. Tamme should not be on your roster unless you claim him via free agency if Julius has some health issues that will cost him playing time.
