James O'Shaughnessy News
The Chicago Bears signed free-agent tight end James O'Shaughnessy to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday. The former Jacksonville Jaguar tight end will join Cole Kmet, Ryan Griffin and Jesper Horsted in Chicago. The 30-year-old dealt with hip and ankle injuries last year in Jacksonville and only played in seven games, securing 24 of his 34 targets for 244 yards and no touchdowns. In his seven NFL seasons (two with the Kansas City Chiefs), O'Shaughnessy has 112 catches for 1,108 yards and three touchdowns on 166 targets over 80 games (40 starts). He could put a little pressure on Kmet as Chicago's top pass-catching tight end, but fantasy managers shouldn't be looking at O'Shaughnessy in the vast majority of leagues.
Free-agent tight end James O'Shaughnessy did a visit with the Chicago Bears on Monday. The 30-year-old has spent each of the last five seasons with Jacksonville. He posted 24 receptions, 244 receiving yards in seven games (six starts) with the Jaguars last season. O'Shaughnessy was asked to move into a starting role for six games last year due to injuries. He doesn't exactly bring much to the table, but could be a decent backup and solid blocker behind Cole Kmet in Chicago. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from O'Shaughnessy wherever he lands.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) was unable to practice all week and has been ruled out for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts. O'Shaughnessy will close out his season by missing the final two games. The 29-year-old will end with 24 receptions on 34 targets for 244 yards and no touchdowns in seven games. It's hard to say who will play the most on Sunday against the Colts among Jacob Hollister, Chris Manhertz and Luke Farrell at the position for the Jaguars, but fantasy managers should be avoiding the situation altogether. The Colts have been a good matchup for opposing TEs this year, but Jacksonville's tight end committee isn't attractive whatsoever.
