SIT ‘EM – TE

A good chunk of people reading this probably don’t even know who Michael Roberts is, so they might wonder why he’s even listed here. Well, after a two touchdown performance against the Dolphins last week, fantasy footballers might have thought Roberts was worth a pickup off the waiver wire.

While that’s all fine and dandy, don’t throw Roberts into the action right away. Prior to his electric performance in Miami, Roberts had just 15 yards off of one reception, which went for a touchdown. That was in week two.

Roberts wasn’t involved a whole heck of a lot last week, so he’s probably not a great starting option moving forward. The Seahawks defense has played much better the past few weeks, which is another reason to avoid having Michael Roberts in your starting lineup.
