Geoff Swaim is Cowboys' 'undisputed' No. 1 tight end
by Jody Smith | Cardinals Correspondent | Thu, Aug 16th 3:53pm EDT
Kristi Scales of The Dallas Morning News reported that fourth-year veteran Geoff Swaim "is the undisputed No. 1 on the Cowboys' tight end depth chart." Blake Jarwin is the current No. 2, followed by rookie Dalton Schultz, who is viewed as more of an in-line blocker, while Jarwin is a potential downfield receiving threat. The article also speculates that Dallas will only keep three tight ends and that Rico Gathers is currently on the outside looking in. (The Dallas Morning News )
Fantasy Impact:
Swaim was a seventh-round pick by the Cowboys in 2015 and is the only current tight end on the roster who has caught an NFL pass. For years, Dallas has heavily relied on their tight end in the passing game, but with Jason Witten retired, there's no telling how the new offense will feature the position. The best guess now is that the Cowboys will feature a committee and none of their three contributors will be a consistent source of weekly fantasy production. Swaim is worth a speculative add in deep drafts, but this is a situation best avoided for fantasy purposes.
