Eric Tomlinson
TE - Los Angeles Chargers
Week 5 Outlook
Availability
Eric Tomlinson has been elevated to the Chargers' active roster prior to the season opener against the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
Tomlinson provides more tight end depth to a room that already has Will Dissly, Hayden Hurst, and Stone Smartt. Tomlinson will be no more than a depth piece and will not be fantasy-relevant in this AFC West matchup.
The Chargers signed TE Eric Tomlinson.
Fantasy Impact
Tomlinson most recently spent time with the Colts, Ravens and Texans dating back to last season. He'll add depth at tight end for the Chargers.
Eric Tomlinson has been released by the Houston Texans.
Fantasy Impact
Tomlinson has been a journeyman throughout his entire NFL career, and he'll hit the open market once again now that the Texans are releasing him. They feel confident about the position with Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan on the roster, and Schultz especially has a very clear path to a lot of volume this season.
Eric Tomlinson caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and one touchdown as the Broncos defeated the Cardinals 24-15 on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Tomlinson scored for the first time this season, and contributed an important trio of catches in the rare Denver victory. Typically a block-first tight end, Tomlinson likely posted his best weekly numbers in Sunday's affair. Greg Dulcich is still the main guy in that position group moving forward.
Tight end Eric Tomlinson re-signed with the New York Giants on Sunday, one day after being cut.
Fantasy Impact
Tomlinson appeared in eight games for multiple teams last season, including the Giants, and caught exactly one pass for one yard. He is unlikely to have any fantasy value in 2020 and would likely need multiple injuries to occur for him to see regular playing time.
