Eric Saubert Fantasy

The Houston Texans signed tight end Eric Saubert off the Dallas Cowboys practice squad on Tuesday. Saubert played with the Cowboys in Week 8, playing just 14 special teams snaps. But since Houston is dealing with several injuries to its tight end group, they signed the 29-year-old for depth purposes. With Teagan Quitoriano (groin) placed on the injured reserve list and Brevin Jordan (foot) expected to miss some time, Saubert will likely backup starter Dalton Schultz. However, he doesn't carry much fantasy value, even in tight end premium leagues.

Denver Broncos tight ends Eric Saubert (knee) and Eric Tomlinson (ankle) are officially active for Week 18 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Both players had been questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. With Greg Dulcich on IR, Saubert stepped up last week, catching three passes for 30 yards. Meanwhile, Tomlinson saw a solid 33 percent snap share but was not targeted in Week 17. Both players are a bit too risky to trust in this week's fantasy championships.

Denver Broncos tight end Eric Saubert should start and be the team's primary pass-catching tight end for the final two games of the season after the Broncos placed rookie Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Friday. Behind Dulcich, Saubert has been the Broncos' second-leading tight end this year in catches (12), targets (21) and receiving yards (118) while scoring one touchdown in 15 games. He'll be facing a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has allowed the eighth-most half-PPR fantasy points to TEs in the last three weeks, but fantasy managers can't trust Saubert in Denver's lackluster offense. Fellow tight ends Eric Tomlinson and Albert Okwuegbunam could be more involved as well, and both receivers Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and Courtland Sutton should be quarterback Russell Wilson's favorite targets.
