Scouting report

PIT TE Jesse James - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Miami
James had six catches for 43 yards and a score against a Jets defense that just can't stop passes to opposing tight ends. The touchdown was James' third of the season, which is a good sign. Ben Roethlisberger is looking his way a lot in the red zone. Miami is at the bottom of the league in points allowed to opposing tight ends and has given up two TE scores. For a player who has been reliant on scoring, that's a good sign. Still, there are better tight end plays available.

PIT TE Jesse James - Week 5, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. New York Jets
James had just two catches for 15 yards, but one was a touchdown as he scored for the second time in the first four games. The Jets have allowed 23 TE receptions already this season and have given up 113 yards to tight ends in each of the past two weeks. But James isn't that kind of high-volume producer, and you have to hope for touchdowns. And even at that, James isn't going to give you much else. There are better starts out there.

PIT TE Jesse James - Week 4, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Kansas City
James had just two receptions for 10 yards last week, but did get four targets. He's not a starting-quality tight end.

PIT TE Jesse James - Week 3, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Philadelphia
James finished last week with just three catches for 29 yards working in the rain, but did haul in a touchdown. Ben Roethlisberger likes the 6'7" tight end in the red zone. He's not a starting quality tight end, however. Philadelphia has given up four catches for 33 yards to opposing tight ends.

PIT TE Jesse James - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Cincinnati
James had seven targets last week and managed five catches but for just 31 yards. That said, Cincinnati played a ton of cover-2 last season against the Steelers, leaving Heath Miller to catch a combined 20 passes for 171 yards in two regular season meetings last year. James should again get plenty of work this week, though it might not be for a lot of yards. He's not starting fantasy material unless you're playing in a PPR and your starter is injured.

PIT TE Jesse James - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Washington
Washington allowed just four TE touchdowns in 2015. James will be a red zone target for Ben Roethlisberger, but is unlikely to be a high-volume play. Keep him on your bench this week in all formats.

PIT TE Jesse James - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cincinnati
James saw most of the action last week with Heath Miller sidelined with a rib injury that could see him sit out again this week. James had three catches for 30 yards last week, all in the first quarter. But Pittsburgh's tight ends had 11 receptions for 109 yards in their previous meeting this year. Keep an eye on James this week if Miller does not play.
