If one thing stands out the most about Week 7, it was the emergence of little known tight ends, and Michael Roberts definitely caught some longing eyes after his performance.

After missing several weeks due to injury, Roberts bombed the Miami Dolphins for a 3-catch, 48-receiving yard, 2-touchdown day. As part of a pass offense that consistently ranks at the top of the league in terms of pass-to-run ratio, and is currently tied for seventh this season (1.81), the opportunity definitely exists for Roberts to be a fantasy asset.
