2020 Fantasy Outlook
Uzomah lost both snaps and targets last season with Tyler Eifert making it through the season healthy, but now that Eifert is plying his wares in Jacksonville, he has a new opportunity as the lead tight end. He'll take the lead as the Bengals bring along second-year second-round pick Drew Sample, though both might be employed more as blockers than as pass-catchers. Uzomah's upside probably resembles what he provided in 2018, when he caught 43 passes for 439 yards and three touchdowns. Read Past Outlooks

Resumes running
Uzomah (Achilles) posted a video Wednesday on his personal Twitter account featuring him running on a treadmill.
ANALYSIS
Uzomah wasn't sporting a brace while he ran on the treadmill, an encouraging sign in his recovery from the season-ending Achilles surgery he required in late September. The tight end likely will remain limited or sidelined entirely for OTAs in the spring, but he could have a shot at gaining full clearance for the start of training camp. He'll be entering the final season of a three-year, $18 million deal in 2021, but even if healthy Uzomah may not be assured a starting role. Second-year player Drew Sample showed some promise as a blocker and pass catcher (40 receptions for 349 yards and a touchdown) after Uzomah went down with the injury, and the Bengals still could bring in additional competition at the position through the draft or free agency this offseason.

Uzomah is a shaky starting TE in both real life and fantasy football, but the Bengals value him for the perceived stability he provides next to Tyler Eifert, whose endless saga of injuries have forced the team to always have an alternative at the ready. Uzomah is seasoned in that role after logging 841 snaps last year, and if nothing else he has good speed for a tight end who's listed at 6-6, 265. The Bengals rewarded him with a three-year, $18.3 million contract in the offseason, but they also brought back Eifert on a one-year, incentive-laden deal, then drafted Drew Sample in the second round. Uzomah didn't do much with his golden opportunity last season, averaging just four targets and 27.4 yards per game in an offense that spent significant stretches of the season playing without Eifert and No. 1 receiver A.J. Green. If Eifert somehow does not get hurt, moreover, Uzomah just might not play very much.
