O.J. Howard's 'time is coming,' Bucs OC says

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard could see an uptick in production in the future, according to offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich.

What It Means:

Howard's lack of production has been one of the biggest letdowns in fantasy football this season, as he has only managed 11 catches for 141 yards in five games. It is possible this is the result of acclimating to a new offensive system and Leftwich will be proved correct, but it is hard to be too optimistic at this point.

Our models project Howard to catch 22.2 passes for 289.8 yards and 1.9 touchdowns this season.
