Week 1 vs. San Francisco 49ers
O.J. Howard finished as the 10th overall tight end in standard formats last year despite only playing in 10 games. If he's able to stay healthy this year, he could easily have his name mentioned alongside top-tier tight ends like Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz and George Kittle. He certainly has the talent, and is in what should be a highly productive passing offense.
He does draw a tough Week 1 matchup against the 49ers, however. San Francisco limited receptions to tight ends a year ago, holding the position to just 59 on the season, which was tied for the fourth-fewest. Howard may not be as productive as he can be this week, but he's still a solid TE1 play.
