Jeff Heuerman Fantasy Stats

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman (knee) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Browns. Heuerman hasn't been fantasy relevant all year, but his absence is notable for rookie Noah Fant after posting season highs in catches (five) and targets (nine) in Week 8 against the Colts. It remains to be seen if Fant can produce with Brandon Allen under center, but he'll at least be on the TE2 radar as a potential safety blanket for the inexperienced quarterback.

The Denver Broncos re-signed tight end Jeff Heuerman to a two-year deal worth up to $9 million on Friday, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The former third-round pick in 2015 played in just 11 games due to injury last year and caught a career-high 31 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns in his third NFL season. Unless the Broncos add to the position in the draft or free agency, Heuerman will likely be the starter at the position. New quarterback Joe Flacco has targeted tight ends often in his career, so Heuerman could be a TE2 deep sleeper this year.

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman (ribs, lung) suffered broken ribs and a bruised lung in the Week 12 win over the Steelers and will miss the rest of the season. Heuerman was having the best year of his career, catching 31 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns. Matt LaCosse, who had a touchdown on Sunday, will be the primary pass-catching tight end for the final five games, although he's not worth using in fantasy lineups.

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman caught two of three targets en route to 44 yards in the Broncos 24-17 victory over the Steelers. Heuerman has now seen 20 targets over Denver's last three games and it appears that quarterback Case Keenum is beginning to develop a decent amount of trust in the former Buckeye. Fellow TE Matt LaCosse brought in the TD pass Sunday, but Heuerman is clearly the tight end to own and all signs point to him being a good source of value for fantasy owners down the stretch.

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman followed up his career day with a four-catch, 20-yard outing against the Chargers Sunday; a disappointing result for fantasy owners who streamed the TE this week. If there's a silver lining here, it's that Heuerman has now seen at least five targets in four of Denver's last five games - it just hasn't lead to much production overall. The Week 9 explosion was fun, but we have more than enough evidence to suggest Heuerman should be viewed as nothing more than a low-end, matchup-based streaming option moving forward.

The last time we saw Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman in action (Week 9) he was having himself quite the day. Possibly the best game he'll ever play over the course of his NFL career. Heuerman brought in 10 of 11 targets for 83 yards and a touchdown, and while I don't believe this will be the norm sans Demaryius Thomas, I do believe it's a positive sign on things to come. Especially, considering the Chargers have allowed three of the last four TEs they've faced to eclipse 50 yards receiving while surrendering three TDs to the position over that stretch. Heuerman was used to neutralize the stout Texans pass rush in Week 9, and it would only make sense for the Broncos to employ a similar strategy given the Chargers affinity to get after the QB. He could be in for an encore in this one, and should be viewed as a viable streaming option for fantasy owners in Week 11.

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman brought in 10 of 11 targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos 19-17 loss to the Texans Sunday. Heuerman was the lone bright spot for the Broncos passing game as he put on his best old-Gronk impersonation en route to career-highs in both receptions and yards. While impressive, the big day merely serves as an outlier, but a combination of this performance and the departure of wide receiver Demaryius Thomas could lead to Heuerman seeing a few more targets down the stretch.

Many a gym-goer have experienced the frustration of putting in a ton of work without seeing any immediate results in the mirror. Should you fall in that boat, Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman feels your pain. Heuerman has seen 17 targets over the Broncos last three games (tied with Demaryius Thomas for the second-most on the team) but has produced a mere nine receptions for 98 yards. In other words, less than four fantasy points per game. Despite facing four of the league's premier TEs, Arizona has held opposing tight ends to an average of 43.8 yards per game (eighth-fewest) so while quarterback Case Keenum has looked his way quite often in recent weeks, Heuerman shouldn't warrant much consideration outside of the deepest of leagues.

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman had his best game of the season last week against the Kansas City Chiefs -- picking up 57 yards on four receptions -- and is in line to be the Broncos primary TE moving forward with Jake Butt out for the season. A repeat of last week's production is not likely this week. For one, the 57 yards mark the most receiving yards he's had in a game over the course of his three-year NFL career. Secondly, the Chiefs have been one of the worst teams against TEs this season. Third, the Jets have allowed the second-fewest yards per game to opposing TEs (prior to Thursday Night Football) at 32.5. I could continue, but suffice it to say, Heuerman is best left on the waiver wire this week.

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman may be using hot tub film sessions to build chemistry with Case Keenum, but the on-field results were not exactly on display in the Broncos 29-17 win Friday. Heuerman saw just one target - a six yard reception - which matched that of Jake Butt - who brought in his lone target for five yards. Seeing how Kyle Rudolph finished 2017 as the 6th highest scoring fantasy TE, the logical assumption would be that one of the Broncos' TEs is bound to find success with Rudolph's former QB Keenum at the helm. However, when you consider than neither guy is Rudolph, and that the Broncos TEs combined for 433 yards a season ago (fewer than 19 TEs, individually), until one of these two emerges as the primary target it is probably best they both stay on the waiver wire as nothing more than a matchup-driven Hail Mary.
