Summary
Detroit signed Jesse James way from the Steelers on a 4-year deal at just over $6M dollars per season to help shore up a depth chart badly in need of a talent injection. Over the last three seasons, James was a key part of the Steelers committee at the tight end position. He averaged 37 receptions per season in the role but managed just 2.7 touchdowns per season over that stretch. James will be just 25-years old in 2019, so there may yet be some untapped potential for more. However, the Lions drafting of T.J. Hockenson at #8 overall probably killed any real fantasy upside for James. Hockenson is polished enough he should quickly win the starting job, which would leave James just a part-time role as a backup and in occasional two-TE packages. (May 23)FBG Staff Rankings
