C.J. Uzomah, Cincinnati Bengals, $5,200

Stats: 287 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns

While Uzomah’s stats are nothing to marvel at, his high target share from a Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns should continue against a Denver Broncos defense that allows 266 passing yards per game this season. Uzomah isn’t a sexy pick or a player that should be used every week.

He does have a good matchup this weekend and should be taken into consideration based upon his price tag. He comes into Week 13 as the 18th-most expensive tight end. Starting quarterback Andy Dalton left Week 12 with a thumb injury but backup quarterback Jeff Driskel lead this offense with poise and should once again use Uzomah as a security blanket.

Uzomah was targeted 13 times in the defeat and with A.J. Green dealing with injury he should be considered a high value play going forward. Driskel and Dalton like to use their big tight end and will look to keep that trend going. Uzomah has been relatively quiet all season long but deserves consideration now that he has been highly used. We have seen that Cincinnati trusts in his ability to keep the offense going.

Prediction: 85 receiving yards, 1 touchdown
