Seferian-Jenkins (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
As a result, Brandon Myers figures to see added work in Week 5, though he's been limited to just four catches this season, making him a fantasy dart this week.

Seferian-Jenkins (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports
The Bucs are listing him as doubtful rather than out for a second straight week, but it can safely be assumed that Seferian-Jenkins will miss another game, as he's three weeks removed from suffering an injury that's expected to require four-to-six weeks of recovery. Brandon Myers will likely get another start.

Seferian-Jenkins will miss his second game in a row, as he's in the midst of a 4-to-6 week recovery from a strained shoulder. Brandon Myers will start at tight end again for the Buccaneers.

Seferian-Jenkins (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Seferian-Jenkins is expected to miss at least two more games, and there's been no indication that he's close to returning to practice. It's not clear why the Bucs even bothered listing him as doubtful, as opposed to just ruling him out.
Tue Sep 22 201514:16Austin Seferian-Jenkins: (Shoulder) Likely Out 4-6 Weeks
Seferian-Jenkins will likely be out for four-to-six weeks with a strained shoulder, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Coming off a 5-110-2 receiving line in Week 1, Seferian-Jenking caught just two passes for 29 yards in Sunday's win over the Saints. His injury was initially believed to be nothing more than soreness, but it now seems he'll miss a good chunk of his second NFL season, after his rookie year was largely derailed by injuries. The diagnosis does still need to be confirmed, but it appears the Bucs will be left with Brandon Myers, Luke Stocker and Cameron Brate at tight end for at least the next few weeks. None of the bunch offers much of a receiving threat, so the Tampa Bay wideouts may absorb the majority of ASJ's targets.
Mon Sep 21 201516:28Seferian-Jenkins dealing with sore shoulder
Seferian-Jenkins is dealing with a sore shoulder, Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune reports.
Per the report, Seferian-Jenkins's availability for Sunday's game against the Texans is unclear, so those who latched on to the tight end after his strong Week 1 are advised to look into potential replacements for him if his status is not clarified in short order.

Seferian-Jenkins secured two of three targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 26-19 victory over the Saints.
The offensive superstar of last week's blowout loss had a much quieter afternoon, but managed a 21-yard grab and essentially made the most of his limited opportunities. Seferian-Jenkins will certainly have weeks where he is a clear third option behind stud wideouts Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans, but with his outstanding size, he will often serve as a formidable security blanket for rookie quarterback Jameis Winston as well.

Seferian-Jenkins had a monster game in Sunday's blowout loss, catching five of seven targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns.
Seferian-Jenkins was about the only Tampa Bay player to show up, as it trailed by 28 points at halftime. A large chunk of Seferian-Jenkins' production came on a 41-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, but fantasy owners are unlikely to complain. It remains to be seen how much production Seferian-Jenkins will manage when Mike Evans (hamstring) returns to the lineup, but it's certainly not unreasonable to expect big things from the young TE this season.

Seferian-Jenkins had one reception (two targets) for 14 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Browns.
Despite seeing plenty of snaps, Seferian-Jenkins is having a quiet preseason, with just two catches through three games. He's secure in his role as the starting tight end, but the Bucs have an unusually young offense, which was quite evident Saturday night. Furthermore, the team will likely funnel a high percentage of its targets to Mike Evans (hamstring) and Vincent Jackson. Still, Seferian-Jenkins should take a large step up from last seasons' production, likely benefiting from improved health and an expanded snap count.
Tue Aug 4 201512:55Seferian-Jenkins
Seferian-Jenkins, who hauled in 21 passes for 221 yards and two TDs in nine games as a rookie last season, reiterated that he is past the back injury that ended his 2014 campaign and led to minor surgery, the Tampa Tribune reports. "Nothing major," Seferian-Jenkins noted in reference to his previous back issue. "Just a nick."
As he approaches his second NFL season, the Bucs are counting on a healthy Seferian-Jenkins to be a key part of the team's offense, now helmed by QB Jameis Winston and coordinated by Dirk Koetter, who sees some Tony Gonzalez in Seferian-Jenkins, who turns 23 in September. It's a comparison that Seferian-Jenkins has predictably downplayed, but the fact remains that the second-year tight end appears destined for an uptick in production in 2015, as one of Winston's featured trio of 6-foot-5 pass-catching targets, a group that also includes talented wideouts Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson.

Seferian-Jenkins (back) said he is fully healthy and ready for offseason workouts, The Tampa Tribune reports.
Seferian-Jenkins opened his rookie season by suffering an ankle injury in Week 1, and he saw it come to an early end due to a back injury. In just nine games, he caught 21-of-37 targets for 221 yards and two touchdowns. Brandon Myers and Luke Stocker also got significant playing time, but Seferian-Jenkins played the vast majority of snaps from Weeks 4-11. While ASJ is an obvious second-year breakout candidate, a lot hinges on the Bucs' quarterback situation. The team seems likely to land either Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston, but it's also worth remembering that the Bucs have Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson gobbling up targets. Jackson is a potential cap casualty and a trade candidate, but getting rid of him isn't an obvious decision by any means.

Seferian-Jenkins (back) will be placed on injured reserve by the Buccaneers, Scott Smith of buccaneers.com reports.
The promising Seferian-Jenkins thus concludes his rookie season with 21 catches for 221 yards and two TDs in nine games. Meanwhile, coach Lovie Smith indicated that Seferian-Jenkins' back injury shouldn't be a long-term concern, noting that the decision to place the tight end on IR is based on the fact that the Bucs have just two more games left this season.

Seferian-Jenkins (back) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
Seferian-Jenkins logged limited practices all week, but will miss his third straight contest as a result of a nagging back ailment. Look for Brandon Myers (calf) and Luke Stocker to lead the charge at tight end in the rookie's absence, but neither of them are high-percentage fantasy plays.

Seferian-Jenkins (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina.
Seferian-Jenkins was listed as a limited practice participant all week, but the same was true two weeks ago, yet he missed the game against Cincinnati all the same. Even if he plays, ASJ isn't looking like a good fantasy option at the moment.
Wed Dec 10 201421:01Austin Seferian-Jenkins: (Back) Limited Wednesday
Seferian-Jenkins (back) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, the Buccaneers' official site reports.
After missing every practice last week, Seferian-Jenkins' presence in drills bodes well for his ability to take the field in Week 15 at Carolina. Moreover, fellow tight end Brandon Myers (calf) joined him as a limited participant, meaning the Buccaneers' TE corps could return to full strength Sunday for the first time in weeks.

Seferian-Jenkins (back) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
Seferian-Jenkins did not log any practice time in advance of Week 14's contest, so it's no shocker to see him sit this one out. With Brandon Myers (calf) also ruled out for the afternoon tilt, look for Luke Stocker to see most of the tight end targets, though it remains possible that quarterback Josh McCown could elect to lean more heavily on wideouts Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans to move the chains in the passing game.

Seferian-Jenkins (back) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.
The Buccaneers are calling him questionable, but it is pretty rare for a player to miss practice all week and be able to play Sunday. Both Seferian-Jenkins and Brandon Myers are facing that scenario, so we may see a lot of Luke Stocker at tight end for Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Wed Dec 3 201415:06Austin Seferian-Jenkins: (Back) Doesn't Practice Wednesday
Seferian-Jenkins (back) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, Jenna Laine of Sports Talk Florida reports.
Seferian-Jenkins received the third DNP of his rookie campaign this past Sunday in spite of three limited practices in advance of the game. As the current week of preparation commences, his no-show status places a question mark over his Week 14 availability. Consequently, owners should watch the TE situation in Tampa Bay closely, especially since Luke Stocker received clearance to practice from the league's protocol for head injuries.
Sun Nov 30 201411:44Austin Seferian-Jenkins: (Back) Inactive Sunday
Seferian-Jenkins (back) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Among the injured tight ends in Tampa Bay, Seferian-Jenkins was believed to be the closest to taking the field in Week 13. However, he joins Brandon Myers (calf) and Luke Stocker (concussion) on the sideline, leaving D.J. Williams and Cameron Brate as the sole healthy TE options. With less-than-desirable options available, coach Lovie Smith will likely turn to his wideouts and running backs in the passing game.

Seferian-Jenkins (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
Seferian-Jenkins was a limited practice participant all week, so it would seem as if he has a decent chance of suiting up against the Bengals. With Brandon Myers (calf) missing all of the week's practices, the Buccaneers might need ASJ more than usual if he's available.
