The tight end position is an absolute disaster zone in fantasy football this year, but that doesn’t mean you should be afraid of dropping the Arizona Cardinals’ Ricky Seals-Jones. RSJ, one of 2017’s biggest breakout sensations, has just not been able to get anything going in his follow-up season. In Week 5 alone, Seals-Jones saw six targets but didn’t catch a single one.

To be fair, this isn’t all RSJ’s fault; per Pro Football Focus, he has just a 4.2 percent drop rate (a middling 28th among the 43 tight ends with at least 10 targets this year) and has seen just 12 catchable passes among the 24 targets sent his way -- one of the lowest marks in the league. Even more concerning is the fact that RSJ’s snap counts have dwindled from over 90 percent of the team offensive snaps in Weeks 1 and 2 to less than 70 percent in Weeks 4 and 5.

It’s unnerving to put your fantasy hopes in the hands of a raw receiving talent in a bad passing offense that can only get him the ball half of the time. It’s pretty unconscionable to trust that he’ll score you many fantasy points when he’s on the field for just two-thirds of his team’s offensive plays. There are better options this year than Ricky Seals-Jones.
