Eric Saubert Fantasy

Denver Broncos tight end Eric Saubert scored the team's only touchdown in the Week 2 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. Saubert caught one of his two targets in the contest for a 22-yard touchdown reception. He stepped up with a big score in this one, but it was disappointing that he didn't see more targets with Jerry Jeudy (shoulder) getting injured in the first half and never returning. On the flip side, Albert Okwuegbunam failed to reel in either of his two targets. The zero-catch game was even more disappointing for Albert O in a Broncos offense that just hasn't had any rhythm in their first two games. Theoretically, Okwuegbunam should have a much bigger role in a Week 3 game against the San Francisco 49ers if Jeudy is unable to play, but it will be hard to trust him as a TE2 streamer after this showing.

Denver Broncos tight end Eric Saubert had the team's lone touchdown in the 42-15 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday in the second preseason game. Saubert caught all three of his targets in the contest for only 17 yards and the score. The 28-year-old appeared in all 17 games in his first year in Denver in 2021 and had eight catches on 12 targets for 47 yards and one touchdown while working behind Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam. Fant is now in Seattle, but rookie Greg Dulcich should be the No. 2 behind Okwuegbunam entering the 2022 season. Saubert will be more valuable to the Broncos as a blocker and as a special teams contributor, keeping him well off the fantasy radar.

Denver Broncos third-string tight end Eric Saubert caught a one-yard touchdown pass in the 28-13 Week 12 win over the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Saubert had just the one target in the entire game, and it was the first touchdown of his career. On the season, the 27-year-old has eight catches on 11 targets for 47 yards and the touchdown in 10 games. Saubert hasn't played more than 42% of the team's offensive snaps in any one game in 2021, and he would only come into fantasy value if both Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam missed time with injuries. Don't ready anything into his first career trip to paydirt in the crucial divisional win over the Chargers.
