Fantasy Impact:

Howard has impressed early on and is reportedly a different player from last season. "I’d bet Howard plays the most snaps of the tight ends, with Brate maybe a few more than Rob Gronkowski; but that’s just a guess, said King. "With the athleticism and speed of Howard, the reliability of Brate and the multiple weaponry in Gronkowski’s toolbox, I won’t be surprised to see Brady take advantage of the intermediate threats all three of those guys are." Howard disappointed many fantasy owners last year, hauling 34 receptions for 459 yards and one touchdown across 14 games in 2019. The 25-year-old will look to put last season behind him, and is high upside TE2 in fantasy. Howard is currently 25th among all tight ends in the latest expert consensus rankings.
