Eric Ebron Week 11 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Tue, Nov 17th 2020, 8:25am EST

When you have all the receiving options the Steelers do, you're going to get some letdown performances. Fortunately, it was a horrendous week at tight end, so his two catches for 38 yards didn't kill your lineup. He's averaging 5.9 targets per game since the start of Week 2, which is all we can ask for out of a tight end in 2020, especially when his quarterback is playing well. He also gets another great matchup in Week 11. Despite seeing the ninth-fewest targets to the tight end position, the Jaguars have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to them. The 2.34 PPR points per target they allow ranks second to only the Falcons. It's kind of crazy looking at the game logs against them, as no tight end has caught more than four passes, while just one has been targeted more than five times. It's one of those matchups where you have plus-matchups all over the field, and teams have simply chosen to target others. When actually targeted, tight ends average 0.34 more half-PPR points per target than their seasonal average against the Jaguars, which is the fourth-highest mark in the league. He comes with risk, but what tight end doesn't? In a game the Steelers have a 28.8-point team-implied total, he deserves low-end TE1 consideration.
