TB TE O.J. Howard - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
O.J. Howard is set up for a potentially big year. He showcased his talents last season, finishing as the No. 10 tight end in standard formats despite missing six games. With DeSean Jackson and Adam Humphries gone, there are more targets likely headed in Howard’s direction. He’s a big-bodied athletic tight end, and has the talent to finish top five in his position.

Fantasy Downside
Bruce Arians takes over the head coaching duties in 2019, and his offenses haven’t produced star tight ends. While in Arizona, Arians once said of the position, “We pay Larry (Fitzgerald) and those guys too much money to throw it to the tight ends. They’re here to block.” There’s also a slight durability issue with Howard considering he’s missed games in each of the last two seasons due to injuries.

2019 Bottom Line
Howard has a very high ceiling in 2019, but he does carry some risk. As for Arians’ scheme, the coach admitted in the offseason that he’s never had a tight end like Howard before. His comments should scare off potential Cameron Brate buyers more than Howard. Considering there aren’t many good tight end options, Howard is a player you should look into drafting because he’s very talented in what could be a high-powered offense. He was the No. 6 tight end in fantasy before having to be sidelined with an injury in 2018.

TB TE O.J. Howard - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at New York Giants

Aside from his goose egg performance vs. the Bears earlier this year, O.J. Howard had his worst game of the season last week catching just one pass for 15 yards. Tampa Bay had several other receivers involved last week, which is bound to happen when there are so many weapons in a single offense.

Howard should be able to bounce back vs. the G-Men in Week 11. The Giants have allowed 50 or more yards to TEs in six of the last seven games. New York has only given up one score to the position all year, but that's more chance than anything else. Howard should be a strong TE1 play vs. the Giants.

TB TE O.J. Howard - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Washington Redskins

As expected, O.J. Howard dominated in his favorable matchup last week. He scored twice while hauling in four passes for 53 yards. He now has 50+ yards in every game except for one where he left early due to injury. He's also scored five touchdowns in eight games.

He gets a mid-tier matchup against the Redskins this week where he should continue to produce. We like him as a TE1 option in Week 10 vs. Washington.

TB TE O.J. Howard - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Carolina Panthers

Another game, another big performance from O.J. Howard. In every game he's started and finished, Howard has had at least 50 yards. He's put up 60+ in three straight games while catching two touchdowns in that span. He hasn't been affected much by the Jameis Winston and Ryan Fitzpatrick QB swapping, so expect his production to continue.

He gets a favorable matchup this week as the Panthers have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. TEs have scored in every game but two this season, making Howard a strong TE1 option in Week 9.

TB TE O.J. Howard - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Cincinnati Bengals

O.J. Howard saw nine targets last week and converted them into five catches for 67 yards. He's now had at least 50 yards in every game but one, and the one he didn't is when he left early due to injury. Howard is showing why he was a first-round pick in 2017.

He gets a favorable matchup this week vs. the Bengals who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Cincinnati has given up 100+ yards to the position in back-to-back weeks, so expect a big game from Howard. He can be viewed as a TE1 choice.

TB TE O.J. Howard - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Cleveland Browns

So everyone thought O.J. Howard was going to be out for several weeks, and then he showed up in Week 6 and finished 4-62-1. Guess the injury wasn't so bad, after all. Howard has been surprisingly reliable this year, finishing with 50+ yards in every game he's finished. He also has two scores in four complete games.

Expect another good outing from Howard this week in a decent matchup vs. the Browns. He can be viewed as a lower-end TE1 choice.

TB TE O.J. Howard - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Chicago Bears

Cameron Brate vultured the touchdown away last week, but O.J. Howard still proved to be the more valuable tight end. He had another big game, hauling in six of his eight targets for 72 yards. He now has at least 50 yards in each game this season and has seen his targets increase every week.

We were worried before the season began that Howard and Brate would cancel each other out, but through the first three weeks, the more productive tight end has clearly been Howard. We like him as a TE1 against the Bears. Chicago has allowed a TD to a TE in two straight games.
