Since my great, great, great grandfather arrived on Ellis Island, the NFL’s tight end position has been the most difficult to navigate in fantasy football. Thankfully, we have Austin Seferian-Jenkins, the ultimate phenom tight end based on advanced stats, metrics, and analytics-based player profiles.
Precocious Talent
Austin Seferian-Jenkins starting dominating at age 18, evidenced by an 18.9 Breakout Age and finished his college career accounting for 30-percent of the team’s passing offense, based on his 86th-percentile College Dominator Rating. Then, he tested off the charts athletically at the NFL Scouting Combine. Literally, we had to recalibrate PlayerProfiler’s workout metrics chart to accommodate this wunderkind.
Fantasy Outlook
Flash forward to today, and Austin Seferian-Jenkins has been the Jets most efficient receiver through five week. His 24.1-percent Target Share is No. 4 among NFL tight ends and his 33.3-percent red zone target share is No. 3 in the league.
In the wake of Charles Clay‘s unfortunate injury, a new tight end savior has arrived. His initials are ASJ.
