Week 10 NFL Advanced Analytics Superstars

Tight End: Jermaine Gresham, Arizona Cardinals

Jermaine Gresham, TE, Arizona Cardinals

5 Receptions, 64 Yards, 7 Targets, 1 Touchdown

Performance Score: 66

Well, I guess someone had to be the top tight end of the week.

Your top performer at the position in Week 10 was Arizona Cardinals veteran Jermaine Gresham with a Performance Score of just 66. It's hard to refer to someone who was that average and who no one started in fantasy football as a "superstar," but relative to the rest of the league, that's what he was. He finished with 5 receptions for 64 yards and 1 touchdown in an injury-filled Thursday Night Football matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

His 5 receptions tied a season high, and his 64 yards shattered his previous high of 47 in Week 2 (sarcasm implied). I guess it's worth noting that this is the second week in a row that Gresham has scored, so perhaps he has a connection with backup quarterback Drew Stanton, who has started the past two weeks after Carson Palmer was lost for the year with an injury.

He is worth monitoring on waivers this week if you are desperate, but this certainly feels like an aberration given the Cardinals history of not targeting the tight end position.
