Jace Amaro's breakout Week 6 against Denver, when he caught 10 passes for 68 yards and a touchdown, has earned him some attention on the waiver wire, but Week 7 at New England may not be the best time for a trial run.
Not only do the Jets have a short turnaround with the Thursday night game, which has historically had an adverse effect on passing numbers, but they're facing one of the league's top pass defenses.
The Patriots have allowed 208.5 passing yards per game, third-fewest in the league. They're also tied for the 10th-fewest Fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends.
There are reasons to be skeptical of Amaro beyond that, of course. For starters, his quarterback is Geno Smith. He had also never gotten more than five targets in a game prior to Week 6.
In deep leagues, your options are limited, but the highest either Jamey Eisenberg or Dave Richard ranks Amaro this week is 15th among tight ends.
