When the New York Jets signed tight end Will Tye, it was a move done to add depth to a positional group that was hit with unfortunate situations. First off, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins is suspended this week due to the NFL substance abuse protocol and rookie Jordan Leggett is out due to a knee injury. Tye figures to get the majority of reps this week against the Oakland Raiders but is he worth starting on your fantasy football team?
To be blunt, no. The defense of the Raiders might have a track record of allowing tight ends to rack up fantasy points but let’s not forget who is the quarterback of the Jets in this Week 2 matchup.
