Jace Sternberger Fantasy Stats

The Buffalo Bills waived tight end Jace Sternberger on Sunday. The Packers drafted the 27-year-old in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. However, he appeared in only 18 games in Green Bay, catching 12 balls for 114 yards and a touchdown. Since then, he made brief stops in Seattle, Washington, and Pittsburgh before Buffalo signed him at the start of training camp. But nobody expected Sternberger to make the Week 1 roster, especially with Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid on the depth chart.

Free-agent tight end Jace Sternberger agreed to a contract with the Bills on Monday. Green Bay selected the 27-year-old in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He played 18 games in two seasons with the Packers. However, he had only 12 catches (18 targets) for 114 yards and one touchdown. Sternberger was released in 2021 and made stops in Seattle, Washington, and Pittsburgh, although he never saw the field for any of those teams before suiting up for the Birmingham Stallions of the USFL. That said, Buffalo has Dawson Knox, Dalton Kincaid, and Quintin Morris on the depth chart, so Sternberger will have a tough time doing anything for fantasy managers, even if he's on the team come Week 1.

The Green Bay Packers are waiving tight end Jace Sternberger on Tuesday, according to a source. Sternberger was the team's third-round selection in 2019. The 25-year-old was suspended for the first two games of the season for violating the league's policy on substances of abuse. Sternberger only had 12 receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown in 18 games with the Packers. Robert Tonyan, who caught a touchdown pass in the Monday night win over the Detroit Lions, is Green Bay's primary pass-catching tight end. Behind him, Green Bay has veteran Marcedes Lewis, Josiah Deguara and Dominique Dafney.

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger will be one of the players on the bubble heading into the final cut deadline Tuesday afternoon. The third-year tight end has struggled to fulfill the potential that excited the Packers to draft him in the first place. Reports of Sternberger's difficulties learning the playbook may have also contributed to his descent down the depth chart.

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger caught only two passes for five yards but one of them went for a touchdown in the Packers preseason loss to the Jets. Sternberger followed up making some strong middle-of-the-field catches last week with a reception in the end zone. Sternberger was posited to be the next TE1 in the Packers offense but has struggled with production in his two years in the league. Green Bay has Robert Tonyan as their TE1 and Mercedes Lewis as the veteran backup, making Sternberger's roster status a bit murky at this time. At the very least, Sternberger has made some plays in the preseason to at least warrant consideration.

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger caught three passes for 35 yards in the Packers first preseason game of the year against the Texans. Sternberger flashed early, picking up some solid middle-of-the-field passes from backup quarterback Jordan Love. Sternberger brought a strong energy to a lethargic offense that only scored seven points the whole game. The 25-year-old is currently slotted as the TE2 behind starter Robert Tonyan and provides quality depth at the position.

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger has been suspended without pay for the first two games of the 2021 regular season for violating the league's policy on substances of abuse. He will be eligible to return to the active roster on Tuesday, Sept. 11, following the Week 2 game against the Detroit Lions. In his second season with Green Bay, the 24-year-old from Texas A&M caught just 12 passes for 114 yards and one touchdown in 12 games (no starts) for the Packers. It's more disappointment after Sternberger failed to break out last year. Instead it was teammate Robert Tonyan, who had a career year (52 receptions, 586 yards and a league-tying 11 touchdowns). Tonyan is the tight end to own in fantasy as a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE1, if quarterback Aaron Rodgers is back in the fold.

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (thigh) and tight end Jace Sternberger (concussion, illness) were among five players that did not practice on Wednesday. Williams was injured in the Week 15 win over the Panthers and could be in danger of sitting out in Week 16 against the Titans on Sunday night. He had 10 carries in Week 14 but saw just one carry for six yards and two catches for 14 yards last Saturday. Williams doesn't have any standalone value behind Aaron Jones. Rookie A.J. Dillon would see a bigger role behind Jones if Williams can't play. Sternberger has missed the last two games with his head injury. Even if he returns this weekend, he's not a realistic fantasy option behind Robert Tonyan.

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger entered training camp with hopes of becoming a breakout player in the offense this season but has had a "quiet" camp, according to Packers reporter Andy Herman. The second-year player missed the first half of last season due to injuries and largely was non-existent when returned to the field. But many speculated that Sternberger, not teammate Marcedes Lewis, would be the one to attract the eye of quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the passing game among tight ends in 2020. That hasn't materialized in practice to this point, making Sternberger an even more risky selection in upcoming fantasy drafts as a late-round flier.

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger is the favorite to replace Jimmy Graham as the team's pass-catching tight end in 2020. Sternberger was placed on Injured Reserve after suffering a left ankle injury in the final preseason game before his rookie season last year, and he didn't see the field again until Week 9 of the regular season. The 23-year-old (24 in June) played in six games (one start) and had no catches on just one target during the regular season. But with Graham now in Chicago and the Packers not drafting a single wide receiver to help out Davante Adams, quarterback Aaron Rodgers could lean heavily on Sternberger in his second season, especially in the red zone. He'll be worth a late-round flier in deep leagues as a low-end TE2 with upside.
