Tommy Tremble's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble should not be started in an formats in Week 17 when he faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tremble logged two limited practice sessions during the week due to shoulder and back injuries but is no longer listed on the injury report. Over his past three games, Tremble has seen just 2.3 targets per game while splitting opportunities with rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders. Over this three-game stretch he has tallied just 16.7 yards per game. Over his past five games, Tremble has surpassed 40+ receiving yards just once. Given his lack of consistent production, fantasy managers should keep him out of all lineups despite facing a weak Tampa Bay secondary that has allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble (back, shoulder) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. It's unclear if Tremble was actually injured in Thursday's practice, but if he was, he'll be firmly in danger of missing Sunday's divisional game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old has seen more targets in recent weeks than rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders, and he caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in the Week 16 upset win over the Carolina Panthers in overtime. Tremble still isn't seeing enough volume in an inconsistent Panthers offense to be considered anything more than a TE2 sleeper in fantasy, but he might not even be available this weekend. If Tremble misses practice on Friday and is ruled out, Sanders would suddenly enter the picture as a TE2 sleeper in deeper formats.

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble caught three passes for 32 yards with no touchdowns in Sunday's 36-30 overtime win against the Arizona Cardinals. Tremble has been in and out of Carolina's lineup due to multiple injuries and the emergence of rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders but has seen increased playing time and subsequent targets in recent weeks. This outing tied his second-most receptions and yards in a game this season. Much like his week-to-week production, Tremble's future with the Panthers remains unclear. Heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he is not a viable fantasy option outside of deep league or TE premium formats.
