Week 5 – John Carlson vs. Denver
John Carlson had three catches for 33 yards off the bye and has become a reliable crutch for whoever is slinging it in Arizona. Carlson has never really blossomed into the top tight end he was expected to become early in his career though, and there’s no reason to think he’ll be a consistent weekly fantasy starter now, regardless of his spot at the top of the depth chart.
Against the Broncos this week, Carlson should get some looks, but another 30 yard stat line or so is the most probable outcome. He should remain on waivers.
