C.J. Uzomah Fantasy Football Outlook (2022)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 1st 2022, 10:27am EDT

C.J. Uzomah is a real-life upgrade over what the Jets had at TE last season. He showcased decent fantasy production in 2021 - at least five targets in his last seven games before his injury - but it remains to be seen who, if anybody, can be reliable in a Zach Wilson-led passing attack.

His 13% target rate per route run - last among tight ends with at least 40 targets in 2021 - doesn't exactly inspire confidence that Uzomah is the late-round tight end to targets in 2022.

Tyler Conklin profiles more as the receiving tight end, with Uzomah shouldering more of the assigned blocking.
