Bucs tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins caught everyone's attention with a huge debut in Week 1 when he pulled in 5 receptions for 110 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Titans pass defense. Yet, for the remainder of the season, he has largely been a disappointment, with Seferian-Jenkins missing nine games this year due to injury and accounting for just 180 yards and 2 touchdowns since Week 2.

However, on Sunday, Seferian-Jenkins finally rewarded his team's constant attempts to involve him in the passing game -- rookie quarterback Jameis Winston has sent 5.4 targets per game his way the past four weeks -- by reeling in 2 of 4 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown against the Bears' 27th-ranked passing defense.

And with Josh Norman likely blanketing number-one wideout Mike Evans for most of the day this upcoming Sunday, Winston may look to Seferian-Jenkins more than usual to move the chains against the Panthers' second-ranked passing defense.
