Blake Jarwin Fantasy Stats

The Dallas Cowboys released tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) and kicker Greg Zuerlein on Friday. The Cowboys continue to make moves to try and get under the salary cap for the 2022 season. Jarwin needed hip surgery this offseason and isn't expected to be available for the start of the 2022 season, so he could struggle to generate interest on the open market. The 27-year-old posted 70 receptions (95 targets) for 780 yards and eight touchdowns in his five seasons in Dallas. Zuerlein went 29-for-35 on his field-goal tries in 2021 and missed six of his 48 extra-point tries in 16 regular season games for Dallas. The Cowboys will save around $2.5 million with Zuerlein's release after he became unreliable late last year.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) underwent hip surgery in February that is expected to keep him sidelined to begin the 2022 year, per Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News. Jarwin's hip issue is "considered very uncommon for an active NFL player," which certainly doesn't sound as if it portends well to the tight end's availability and productivity in any capacity next year. Dalton Schultz is slated to become a free agent in the coming weeks, with his appeal to the Cowboys seemingly growing significantly if Jarwin is unavailable. The 27-year-old appeared in eight games (five starts) last year, having hauled in 11 receptions for 96 yards and two touchdowns. While Jarwin doesn't jump off the page as a fantasy relevant commodity, his future figures to factor into Dallas' tight end plans one way or the other.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) is expected to be available for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Eagles, marking his first game action since Week 8. Jarwin is set to serve as Dallas' second tight end behind Dalton Schultz, who remains Dak Prescott's primary pass-catching target from the position. With that said, Jarwin has snagged two touchdowns this year, potentially serving as a Schultz foil in the red zone for those targeting the TE in DFS lineups. Even when fully healthy, Jarwin has yet to exceed 57 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps in any game this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't anticipate a whopping workload as the team gears up for the playoffs.

The Dallas Cowboys designated tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) for return from Injured Reserve, and he'll return to practice on Tuesday as head coach Mike McCarthy had hoped. There's a chance that the Cowboys could officially activate Jarwin from IR before the Week 18 regular season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. However, the main goal is to have Jarwin fully healthy for the playoffs, so the Cowboys aren't going to rush him back this weekend if he's not ready. Dalton Schultz is Dallas' primary pass-catching threat at the position, but Jarwin gives quarterback Dak Prescott another weapon in the passing game. Jarwin has 10 catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets over five games. He's unlikely to be much of a fantasy asset in the postseason.

The Dallas Cowboys activated tight end Blake Jarwin from the reserve/COVID-19 list and moved him back to injured reserve on Tuesday. Jarwin was placed on an injured reserve after suffering a severe hip injury in Week 8. He was moved from the injured reserve to the reserve/COVID-19 list on November 26th and reverted to IR on Tuesday. Since suffering the injury, the 27-year-old has yet to practice, and it's unclear when the Cowboys' tight end will return to action. Jarwin has caught 10 passes for 90 yards and two touchdowns over seven games. Dalton Schultz is the Cowboys' top-pass catching tight end and will remain in that role while Jarwin is sidelined.

The Dallas Cowboys placed tight end Blake Jarwin on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday after he tested positive for the virus. Jarwin is also currently on Injured Reserve after he suffered a serious hip injury in Week 8. However, the 27-year-old has already missed four games, so if is asymptomatic and returns two negative tests, there's a chance he could be eligible to play next Thursday against the New Orleans Saints. The Cowboys have yet to open his 21-day window to return from IR, though, so we'd be surprised if Jarwin is active for Week 13. Jarwin can be left to the waiver wire in most leagues, as he has only 10 catches on 15 targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns in seven games this year as the clear No. 2 TE option in Dallas behind Dalton Schultz when he's healthy.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) had already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup vs. the Broncos, but he will now miss at least the team's following two games as well after being placed on injured reserve Saturday. The absence of Jarwin figures to open up a considerable amount of targets for breakout star Dalton Schultz at tight end. Jarwin has been lightly utilized in the passing game, but he has hauled down 10 receptions for 90 yards and two touchdowns across seven contests this season. Under the league's rules for placing players on IR, Jarwin's next opportunity to return to action comes on Thanksgiving against Las Vegas.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) and left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) have both officially been ruled out for the Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Jarwin suffered his injury in the Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings, while Smith aggravated his ankle injury last Sunday night and is now dealing with bone chips in his ankle. Jarwin has mostly been playing second fiddle to Dalton Schultz at the position in Dallas, so he hasn't had much weekly fantasy appeal. With Jarwin sidelined, Schultz could see a few more looks, especially in the red zone. Consider him a midrange TE1 with quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) making his return under center. Ty Nsekhe will start on Prescott's blind side this weekend with Smith out.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday and is unlikely to play in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. A Jarwin absence would be good news for Dalton Schultz, who should be considered a midrange TE1 this weekend with quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) returning against a Broncos defense that has been extremely banged up at the linebacker position and who just traded away All-Pro pass-rusher Von Miller. If Jarwin is indeed inactive, Jeremy Sprinkle will likely be Schultz's primary backup on Sunday. Jarwin does have two touchdowns this year, but he's been playing second fiddle to Schultz most weeks and has only 10 catches on 15 targets for 90 yards in seven games played.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is not a starting option in the majority of fantasy leagues for Week 8. The Cowboys will take on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football and despite Jarwin's touchdown in Week 6 before the Cowboys bye week, he's still watched his season turn him into a backup depth piece at best. Dalton Schultz has completely taken over as the team's top tight end, and the return of Michael Gallup (calf) means the Cowboys will be returning to more three-wide sets, giving Jarwin even less time on the field. He should not even be rostered in most leagues at this time.
