CJ Uzomah Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah scored a touchdown during Thursday's preseason encounter with the New York Giants, snagging a 26-yard pass from quarterback Andy Dalton late in the first quarter. While Uzomah hasn't been a factor much this preseason, he could have a role this upcoming season, especially if tight end Tyler Eifert goes down with another injury at some point, with his only hurdle to clear being rookie tight end Drew Sample, who had a touchdown of his own against the Chiefs in Week 2 of the preseason.

The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to terms with free-agent tight endC.J. Uzomah, bringing him back on a three-year deal worth more than $18 million, a source said Monday. Uzomah showed he can handle a starter's load last season, posting 43 receptions for 439 yards and three touchdowns on 64 targets, all career highs. He stepped up his game and filled a big hole once Tyler Eifert and Tyler Kroft each went down with season-ending injuries. It appears Uzomah will have a good chance to meet or exceed those 2018 numbers with Kroft moving along to Buffalo, and Eifert's status uncertain. Target Uzomah as a TE2 in deeper fantasy leagues, but he could be a sneaky sleeper in 2019.

Cincinnati Bengals tight endC.J. Uzomah scrounged up 33 yards off of five receptions during Sunday's loss to Denver. The 25-year-old was targeted by quarterback Jeff Driskel a healthy seven times, but only ended up with a meager 6.6 yards per reception. However, with 19 looks over the past two weeks to go along with a combined 11 catches during that span, Uzomah should get some attention from fantasy managers who are in need of a tight end based on the volume of his targets alone.
